You're viewing a single thread.
Why work for a man who expects his workers to work "hardcore" for 80 hours a week without any overtime pay?
Sounds like exploitation to me.
They like the taste of boot, that's why they're Muskrats.
Well to answer @Gork@lemm.ee’s hypothetical - someone who hates Elon might run a simple cost benefit and still decide two brutal years of making no money is worth having a big T(esla)/SpaceX on their résumé.
Which is unfortunate because it would be good to see a revolt that led to a kinder leader of those companies.
