Poor guy. It must be so difficult watching his workers joining together to demand their fair share of his company’s profits. It’d be a real shame if workers in other countries follow suit. I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it must be to be a billionaire. Those poor bastards.
If workers tried this in Canada the police would roll them over.
It’s a crime to block roads and railways in protest here, unless the police like you, then they take selfies with you.
Well, Tesla doesn't have a production facility in Canada, AFAIK. However...Germany has...and i think he's going to regret that big time.
Nah I'm sure the Germans would love to work with Tesla corp haha
Musk could spend a million dollars per day for 500 years and still be a billionaire. That’s a literally incomprehensible amount of money.
He could single-handedly end world hunger and barely notice a difference in his staggering wealth. Just paying his fair share of taxes would have a seismic effect on the US in so many ways, but instead he hoards more and more, siphoning wealth from those who need it most into coffers so large, he can’t even really notice.
It’s obscene.
Totally is. And the appetite doesn’t seem to be anywhere near the tipping point yet. Unfortunate.
The appetite is limitless. Wealth hoarding is just like every other type of hoarding. They’re trying to fill a hole in themselves with stuff, and they collect far more than will ever be useful to them, to the detriment of themselves and everyone else. Billionaires just do it at a scale that hurts us all.
