    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.

        As a goal, that’s neither here nor there.

        We should do it because it’s for the common good.

        Billionaires only help society by accident - and even that’s unusual. We should help them make a bigger difference

      I remember reading a comment that roughly said he could have been batman and he chose to be a shitposter instead.

      Enjoying the slow moving trainwreck because he’s such a shitty person.

      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.

    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.

    And yet he doubles down. The unstoppable force meets the immovable object.

    I hope that Sweden prevails. If the strike fails, it’s the end of workers’ rights in Sweden and a Friedmanite short sharp shock plunging the nation into dog-eat-dog hyper-Thatcherism, with plunging standards of living for anyone dependent on selling their labour.

      Disagree in this case. Its good for people to watch him loose this fight with the unions IMO.

        I agree that the public needs to see Tesla losing the fight against unions. No need to post and upvote another article titled “elon musk said”.

      The Guardian is a left leaning paper. I agree with the other poster that it’s important to highlight and champion those who oppose exploitation.

      Capitalists: We want free markets without government interference.

      Swedish labor market organizes collective negotiation.

      Capitalists: No, not like that!
