remember he wanted his workers to work in CA when the pandemic began because he needed to meet his sales projections, who cares who dies. At the beginning we had food plant workers with high death rates.

It appears he is another Donald Trump, but a rich one. He has a hardcore following too.

He like to F his friends wives like the Donald.

and of cource no empathy.

Who is a more cold and calculating businessman between Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos?
Musk. His brother, Kimball, said that Musk lacks empathy for his workers.[1] Musk also fucks other people’s wives (Johnny Depp), cheats on his partners (Grimes), and feels entitled to the natural resources of foreign nations to make his batteries.

Workers say that Musk creates a toxic work environment.[2]


Up to Depp’s apartment while he is not home


Musk also uses Twitter to manipulate retail investors to make profits off price fluctuations. He was fined massively by the SEC for this.

Elon Musk Settles SEC Fraud Charges; Tesla Charged With and Resolves Securities Law Charge
Washington D.C., Sept. 29, 2018 — The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that Elon Musk, CEO and Chairman of Silicon Valley-based Tesla Inc., has agreed to settle the securities fraud charge brought by the SEC against him last week. The SEC also today charged Tesla with failing to have required disclosure controls and procedures relating to Musk’s tweets, a charge that Tesla has agreed to settle. The settlements, which are subject to court approval, will result in comprehensive corporate governance and other reforms at Tesla—including Musk’s removal as Chairman of the Tesla board—and the payment by Musk and Tesla of financial penalties. According to the SEC’s complaint against him, Musk tweeted on August 7, 2018 that he could take Tesla private at $420 per share — a substantial premium to its trading price at the time — that funding for the transaction had been secured, and that the only remaining uncertainty was a shareholder vote. The SEC’s complaint alleged that, in truth, Musk knew that the potential transaction was uncertain and subject to numerous contingencies. Musk had not discussed specific deal terms, including price, with any potential financing partners, and his statements about the possible transaction lacked an adequate basis in fact. According to the SEC’s complaint, Musk’s misleading tweets caused Tesla’s stock price to jump by over six percent on August 7, and led to significant market disruption. According to the SEC’s complaint against Tesla, despite notifying the market in 2013 that it intended to use Musk’s Twitter account as a means of announcing material information about Tesla and encouraging investors to review Musk’s tweets, Tesla had no disclosure controls or procedures in place to determine whether Musk’s tweets contained information required to be disclosed in Tesla’s SEC filings. Nor did it have sufficient processes in place to that Musk’s tweets were accurate or complete. Musk and Tesla have agreed to settle the charges against them without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations. Among other relief, the settlements require that: Musk will step down as Tesla’s Chairman and be replaced by an independent Chairman. Musk will be ineligible to be re-elected Chairman for three years; Tesla will appoint a total of two new independent directors to its board; Tesla will establish a new committee of independent directors and put in place additional controls and procedures to oversee Musk’s communications; Musk and Tesla will each pay a separate $20 million penalty. The $40 million in penalties will be distributed to harmed investors under a court-approved process. “The total package of remedies and relief announced today are specifically designed to address the misconduct at issue by strengthening Tesla’s corporate governance and oversight in order to protect investors,” said Stephanie Avakian, Co-Director of the SEC’s Enforcement Division. “As a result of the settlement, Elon Musk will n

Tesla also discourages workers from reporting safety problems and discourages people from going to the hospital if they get hurt. Workers are treated like shit.

Tesla Is Under OSHA Investigation for Worker Safety
California's Division of Occupational Safety and Health has opened an investigation into Tesla and workplace hazards at its factory.

Inside Tesla’s Model 3 Factory, Where Safety Violations Keep Rising
As Tesla announces a more affordable model, its Fremont, California factory workforce had already felt heavy pressure to produce enough cars. And the strains showed: safety regulators have assessed more fines at the plant other large U.S. automotive plants, a Forbes review finds.

Also, Tesla probably violates environmental regulations, too.

Tesla accused of environmental rule violations in U.S. and Germany
The EPA accused Tesla last week of failing to prove it is in compliance with federal emission standards for hazardous air pollutants.

Conclusion

Elon Musk is worse than Bezos. Bezos also lacks empathy, as his efficiency standards for Amazon caused people to piss in bottles due to lack of time to use the bathroom. Bezos also paid very little until public pressure caused him to increase the pay for his workers to a living wage.

He is that, but also extremely bright.

I wonder how long he'll last though, watch the veins in his neck when
he's excited.

Looking forward to my 1st electric car in the future.

Obviously a successful businessman whose prior quotes are coming back to haunt him.
Then again when you sell $10B in stock and claim no gain I guess you can say what you want.
Isn't that Lying Loser 45's charm is?
Except Lying Loser 45 doesn't really have that much money!
He just says he does!

Peter Thiel Quits Meta to Devote Himself to the Far Right
Quote:
Big news in the tech world: billionaire investor Peter Thiel, who founded PayPal with Elon Musk and was one of Facebook's first board members, is finally leaving the latter company in order to wholly devote himself to the far right.
The New York Times reports that Thiel, 54, plans to step down from Meta (nee Facebook)'s board in order to "focus on influencing November's elections."

In recent years Thiel, previously a garden-variety Silicon Valley libertarian, has made a shift to the far-right, becoming one of the GOP's biggest donors. He's also personally donated $10 million each last year to the campaigns of two of his protégés: Blake Masters, the former President of Thiel Capital who is running for a Senate seat in Arizona, and J.D. Vance, the Hillbilly Elegy author who once worked for Thiel and is now running for Senate in Ohio.
Both Vance and Masters, naturally, have embraced the far-right culture wars as integral parts of their campaign. While Vance appears to be flaming out faster than he can change his ideology, Masters isn't exactly distinguishing himself in the polls either.

But again, we're a long way from the election. And Peter Thiel has an estimated $2.6 billion to throw around. So it's pretty certain that Masters and Vance won't be the last rich assholes that Thiel tries to prop up in the highest strata of American politics.
