Elon Musk says Tesla workers will be sleeping on the factory floor when new $25,000 EV goes into production next year
Speaking during Tesla's earnings call on Wednesday, Musk said he needs his teams of manufacturers and engineers to live and sleep at the Texas Gigafactory so any...

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.
The irony
If we downvote harder maybe
I am amazed they haven't unionized.
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.
Elon milk on people's passion so much they don't think union is required.
Why do you think he moved to a state with lower worker protections and higher union busting
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.
It's not unions that fix this problem, it's mobs with pitchforks
Don't tease me with a good time
They're shitty cars, anyway.
It could be the cheapest EV on the planet and I still wouldn't buy from Tesla.
he needs you slaves to pull harder on those oars
Fuck this guy with a cactus
Now now, don't do that to a cactus
Fuck this moron
Cartoon villain mindset
If we were living in the wild west, someone would have fixed the Musk problem by now.
American mindset
Well, I'm sure that won't trigger any design issues or manufacturing flaws ...
I’ll start believing him when FSD does what he said it would do back in **
…2015
I feel like he was probably joking and bragging about how high demand will be, and it is getting responded to like it's fact, and people are just eating it up.
I get it. He's an ass, but let's not all eat the onion over pretty benign jokes from a renowned troll.
Worker exploitation isn't funny nor is it benign. That's why worker rights are literally codified into law.
Oh Lemmy....
Who are you even talking to? This virtue signaling is so fucking tired on this site. Who is laughing at worker exploitation? Like seriously.
I said the guy was probably making a joke, as in he doesn't actually want people sleeping on a factory floor and everyone pearl clutches. He is a piece of shit but we don't need to make shit up that isn't real to get offended at.
I take it back. The joke is you guys.
How the fuck is this virtue signaling? Do you know what virtue signaling is? Do you think that I'm over here preaching about worker rights then go on and whip slaves in real life?
You must not, since you are asking and then talking about whiping slaves or shit. Maybe you were thinking I accused you of "projecting."
Anyways, my point remains. You chimed in and downvotwd to assert that, stating my belief he was joking was somehow bad. Coming to the defense of an imaginary victim to tell everyone how important workers' rights are when no one questioned it to begin with.
Now, next time, maybe you should check the dictionary yourself before asking if someone else knows the definition of something 🤔
Yeah sure. Workers' rights and trade unions are setup to protect imaginary victims. Excluding other companies Tesla itself is notorious for dangerous working conditions. Silly me, imagining victims inside Tesla factories.
Yup, more virtue signaling.
When someone jokes and there isn't a victim, but you make one up, that's an imaginary victim.
Just don't bother digging further. I haven't disagreed with anything you've cited or posted. I just think it's craven to keep replying to me as though I've said things I haven't.
It's been normal Lemmy though for the past month. It's like an echo chamber shaking itself into ruin. Everyone who used to pick fights with conservatives on reddit came here, and now they all eat their own without enough real targets.
First you said,
Now you say
Your "feel like, probably" became a certainty pretty quickly. How do you know Musk was joking? He was talking the same way when Model 3 production ramped up. He bragged that he himself was sleeping in the factory. I have already posted what happened as a result. Was not a joke before, was it? Now Musk says the same things and you're quick to defend him.
