mistertim Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 So Musk is basically just a hypocritical snowflake right wing loon with regressive ideas about working and employment. Sounds like he fits right in with the today's Republican party. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RansomthePasserby Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) 12 hours ago, TradeTheBeal! said: Free speech absolutist? To be fair, SpaceX’s president described the reason the employees were fired is because “blanketing thousands of people across the company with repeated unsolicited emails and asking them to sign letters and fill out unsponsored surveys during the work day is not acceptable.” If I was using company time to make surveys and write letters, then send them out for thousands of other employees to use company time responding to them, I’d probably be fired too.

Fergasun Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Know someone who knows someone that works for Tesla. Says that they are bringing people to the office who were hired to 100% remote positions. Even people in Colorado are being forced to commute. The Tesla worker has to fly and commute on his own dime. Office didn't have enough parking spaces nor enough desk spaces for them all to come back. This is obviously BS to figure out how to downsize by 10%. I hope they lose talent, but who knows.... the Tesla worker didn't have a proper desk to work from and had some odd like office setup as in, "theres some spare space over there". Regarding his recent political leanings, the theory is that Elon has sold enough vehicles to CA-types and he has a new truck that he needs to sell to TX-types. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I don't find it scary or anything. I just think it's dumb and it caters to people doing the most idiotic stuff for views and attention. Yeah, Youtube could be seen a little in the same way, but I think there's far more positive and informative stuff on Youtube than there is on TikTok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I'm no fan of the tik tok. I tend to agree that it's dumb. It's mostly stupid dances. Tho at the end of most of these dances the ladies do jiggle theys naughty bits. This I am very much in favor of. Conflicting it is. 😔 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, though I wouldn't label that as capitalism in general. IMO the problem nowadays is crony capitalism (including unfettered access to dark money by political campaigns and PACs), and I agree that it's a huge problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Now I get it. Musk is pushing starlink and needs to appeal to people who live in rural areas.

I'm sure he's convinced there's no real threat of liberals outright bailing on buying Teslas even if some do here and there because they are good electric cars.
