The only thing insane would be to let Elon Musk exploit them.
But that’s exactly what every other Employee and country is doing.
And he’s not capable of handling the fact that someone might be standing up to him.
And I don’t even mean that in a “doesn’t have a business plan to handle that situation” sense either. I think that he’s personally not emotionally stable enough to fully grasp what’s happening.
But that’s exactly what every other Employee and country is doing.
Insane behaviour has often been popular in society. Not sure what that says about our species.
Elon very likely lives in his own bubble with no one around that can disagree.
A millionaire could surround themselves with other millionaires and get a reality check. There are few billionaires and trillionaires, and they are likely surrounded by people that depend on the billionaires for their life’s stability.
This is a good argument for taxing billionaires heavily. They should not exist and will be destructive as they loose touch with reality.
This is also a good argument for not allowing parallel societies for different income levels or similar distinctions to develop in other parts of society which means we need to get rid of isolating factors like car commutes from inside the garage to inside the office parking garage at work. People with different income levels should interact regularly in an informal setting where they can actually talk to each other.
That means it’s working!
Elon Musk is getting a taste of how strong workers unions are in Scandinavia. I remember reading something about McDonald’s very nearly getting kicked out of here from Denmark because how it was treating its workers.
Psychopath billionaire gaslights unions fighting for living wage.
It’s worse than that. Tesla is refusing to recognize the mechanics union at all. The Swedish mechanics union has many members at Tesla, and have asked to negotiate, and Tesla is flat out refusing to sign a deal to bring their working standards up to national standards. This would be illegal in the US under the NLRA.
Union collective agreements are so important in Sweden that they literally are our labor laws. Sweden does not have a minimum wage or overtime pay at all in the national law. Those are always regulated in the collective agreement. Tesla is refusing to accept any sort of minimum wage, overtime pay, etc for thair employees. They are trying to do business in Sweden without playing by basic labor rules, and they are being shunned by all of Sweden for it. They will end up like Toys R Us in 1995.
