And knowing how often re contradicts himself and straight out lies, his words are worth less than nothing.

Yepp. It’s gonna cost $75,000 and his workers will be sleeping on piles of broken glass.

Mentality of a fourteen year old. Thinks he sounds hard, actually sounds like a complete wanker

His brain's been rotted from all the interacting with 14-year-olds and bots on Twitter.

He's always seemed unlikeable to me, but I do wonder how different a person he'd be if he'd never developed his Twitter addiction. I think he's very perceptibly become more narcissistic and shifted his personality to try to appeal to his Twitter worshippers.

I am amazed they haven't unionized.

[–] balancedchaos@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Money goes a long way in keeping unions out. Ask Bezos.

Support the union drive at Amazon KCVG airhub! The airhub is a choke point and would be a huge win, as well as encourage other warehouses to unionize.

Can't unionize if you never go home or get breaks

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 12 points 2 years ago

Elon milk on people's passion so much they don't think union is required.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 years ago

Why do you think he moved to a state with lower worker protections and higher union busting

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Unions won't necessarily fix this.

People literally sleep sand bathe at Kellogg plants and they're not only unionized but successfully pulled off a long strike recently.

That said they should absolutely unionize, if they're going to get fucked they might as well elect some lube.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not unions that fix this problem, it's mobs with pitchforks

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Don't tease me with a good time

[–] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago

If the $100k teslas are falling apart, can’t wait to see the $25k tesla 🙄

[–] TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

It could be the cheapest EV on the planet and I still wouldn't buy from Tesla.

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 25 points 2 years ago

he needs you slaves to pull harder on those oars

Fuck this guy with a cactus

[–] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Now now, don't do that to a cactus

[–] const_void@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 years ago

Fuck this moron

Cartoon villain mindset

If we were living in the wild west, someone would have fixed the Musk problem by now.

nesday, Musk said he needs his teams of manufacturers and engineers to live and sleep at the Texas Gigafactory so any issues with the next-gen EV platform can be addressed quickly

Well, I'm sure that won't trigger any design issues or manufacturing flaws ...

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

But he'll still be using 100s to wipe his ass.

I’ll start believing him when FSD does what he said it would do back in
