This is arguably the nicest breakdown of Elon Musk that John Oliver could’ve done. John completely skipped over how Elon proposed the hyper loop, which was suppose to “replace highways”. Originally conveyed as the future of public transport, the project ultimately produce a small underground tunnel that people would take a Tesla Uber through. It was a thinly veiled distraction from a proposed high speed train in California that would have provided both a cheap and environmentally friendly option. I think that example ultimately encompasses what Musk has always been. A guy who is constantly spoke about as an innovator trying to save humanity, but always doing it by the most costly means to society that only benefit a few people and distract from the wider more effective sweeping changes.

The fact that billionaires can apparently just deny access to safety inspections for their businesses kinda makes it seem like the billionaire has more power than the safety inspectors. And that should definitely be the other way around. They shouldn't need permission. They should be able to get police to accompany them and force their way in if necessary. But that would require police to be protecting the people in the business instead of the business property so I can see why we don't do that in America.

“I’m probably now more impressed by what he’s doing, but more worried by the fact that he’s the one who’s been doing it.” This is the perfect description of Elon Musk.

I'm Swedish. More than a month ago Tesla mechanics went on strike because (surprise surprise) Tesla has refused to sign a collective agreement with the union (which is pretty standard in Sweden). Since then every Swedish port has gone on sympathy strikes, refusing to unload Tesla cars meant for the Swedish market. I think even some of our postal services have stopped sending Tesla branded replacement parts. Tesla has tried to circumvent this by going through Norway, Denmark and Finland... so now the ports in all of those three countries have joined in on the strike, and I think Germany is considering it. I really hope we don't give up until they've agreed to sign the collective agreement, because that man legitimately needs to be humbled. And if this ends with Elon pulling out of Sweden... honestly, I think we're better off for it.

The entire reason an agreement wasn't reached was because the Swedish branch of the company is not allowed to make those decisions, and their American counterparts said no. That said, we have Swedish companies that also refuse to sign collective agreements. Spotify and Klarna being the first that come to mind. So far that's been not so great for the people that work there. Especially during a time of massive layoffs.

Here’s another fun Musk-related story from this year. Here in Sweden, Tesla’s management got into a feud with their workers who want the company to enter a collective bargaining agreement, as is fairly standard here; they’ve been requesting it since 2018. Tesla refused, claiming they offer better terms than such an agreement. The workers disagree, and have gone on strike, with support from the union they belong to. Since then, more unions and workers in other Nordic countries have joined the strike too. It’s still ongoing as of this writing, and Musk has not been happy about it

If you look more into the story, its alot more nuanced than was presented here. Starlink at the time was already shut off outside of ukraine held territory before the Ukrainian operation began. This was in part, to prevent russian use or interference in the network, and in part, to restrict the usage of the terminals in an offensive capacity, which Ukraine kept trying to do using its starlink controlled drones. While this sounds bad, unless starlink wants to fall under ITAR regulation (and be unable to sell terminals) , they couldnt allow this to happen.

I've worked on projects for the Tesla Fremont plant. I was not responsible for the energy efficiency documentation, as that was handled by Tesla's in-house engineers. I was fairly certain what we were executing was not energy code compliant, since we were effectively air conditioning a large tent, but I wasn't responsible for that aspect. When the drawing set was released for submission to the city of Fremont, I checked the energy efficiency documentation, and the page was blank. In the corner, a note that basically said no energy efficiency calculations were needed, because this building was already "indirectly" air conditioned by double doors at each end which are propped open and the spaces they lead to are air conditioned. Which is a little bit like saying your garage is air conditioned because you can prop open the door to your house. I was not involved enough with the project beyond that point, but I don' t think they would have put something so brazenly inaccurate there if they didn't think they'd get away with it. By the way, this "tent" was only legal because it was officially a "temporary" structure, despite the contents being very expensive and rigidly anchored equipment.

In regards to lockdowns, he tried to have his Tesla employees classified as "essential workers" on the same level of importance as grocery and medical workers, and when the state of California denied him, that's when he said he was going to open the factories anyway.

If the company tesla died how far along would the push ev's in America be. Is gm or Ford stepping up their game? Was there any covid super spreader event at tesla? The answers are pretty obvious are they not?

Ooh you mean essentially workers like home depot, pot shop, liquor stores and strippers??? It was and still is a false narrative that doesn't pass a simple common sense test. POSTAL SERVICE EMPLOYEES WERE EXEMPT FROM TAKING THE VACCINE !! THINK ABOUT THAT , THINK ABOUT THAT!!!

Elon Musk is becoming the Bill Mumy character in "It's A Good Life".

Cheers to the workers at the Swedish Tesla factory. In Sweden it is common for workers to be paid according to collective bargaining agreements. Because Elon Musk strictly refuses to do this, the workers are on strike. There are now solidarity strikes in Finland, Norway and I think Denmark. The workers from the German factory should also join.

@@johnnysokko2004 I might as well ask whether it is fair to ignore safety standards so that accidents occur. Elon Musik doesn't seem to be a person who likes to give workers rights. No wonder he is so anti-union. What's the point of saving the world if only a few people are doing well while the rest are treated like "slaves".

@@johnnysokko2004 You are completely missing the bigger picture. It is 13 standing up for the rights of millions. Because letting one factory get away with treating their employees like crap opens the door to all others. Is that fair? But as long as it isn't your job rights and conditions that are being directly affected you don't really care now do you? Because all hail fk'ing elon musk, right?
