Even on most of the job/company websites, they report a majority of employees work 40hrs or less per week. and when you see the reports from current/former employees talking about how much work they actually do in a day, you can understand why he would want them to be more "hardcore" and why a lot of people are upset.
The difference between Musk coming in and getting rid of slackers and underperformers, and what happens in other companies when they get bought out or a new boss comes in, is he is doing it much more publicly, to a much more public company, whose employees know how to get the most exposure from it. Add in Musk seems to be the current enemy of a lot of the regular media, and it seems to be getting way blown out of proportion.

In a recent interview with Baron Capital, Elon stated since taking over Twitter his work week has gone from 80 hours to 120 hours a week. His schedule is now go to sleep, wake up, work, go to sleep, work...etc. The guy looked absolutely exhausted during the interview.
