Elon to the Tesla team: No more remote work

According to an article[0] in a follow meeting, Elon said:

"If you don’t show up, we will assume you have resigned."

Is it legal to just assume someone resigned rather than fire them? Especially if that user is still logging on and doing their work remote.
