And knowing how often re contradicts himself and straight out lies, his words are worth less than nothing.

[-] Crikeste@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yepp. It’s gonna cost $75,000 and his workers will be sleeping on piles of broken glass.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 71 points 1 year ago

Mentality of a fourteen year old. Thinks he sounds hard, actually sounds like a complete wanker

[-] loobkoob@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

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.

Can we as a society buddy filter out any news with this idiots name until the announcement of his death?

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

If we downvote harder maybe

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 year ago

I am amazed they haven't unionized.

[-] balancedchaos@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Money goes a long way in keeping unions out. Ask Bezos.

[-] Sunforged@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] finestnothing@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Can't unionize if you never go home or get breaks

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 11 points 1 year ago

Elon milk on people's passion so much they don't think union is required.

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago

Why do you think he moved to a state with lower worker protections and higher union busting

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's not unions that fix this problem, it's mobs with pitchforks

[-] TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

It could be the cheapest EV on the planet and I still wouldn't buy from Tesla.

[-] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

If the $100k teslas are falling apart, can’t wait to see the $25k tesla 🙄

[-] Maddie@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago

Fuck this guy with a cactus

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Now now, don't do that to a cactus

[-] const_void@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago

Fuck this moron

[-] Rozauhtuno 18 points 1 year ago

Cartoon villain mindset

[-] athos77@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

nesday, Musk said he needs his teams of manufacturers and engineers to live and sleep at the Texas Gigafactory so any issues with the next-gen EV platform can be addressed quickly

Well, I'm sure that won't trigger any design issues or manufacturing flaws ...

[-] teamevil@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

But he'll still be using 100s to wipe his ass.

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I’ll start believing him when FSD does what he said it would do back in **

…2015

[-] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] puppy@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Worker exploitation isn't funny nor is it benign. That's why worker rights are literally codified into law.

[-] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] puppy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

the public expression of opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or social conscience or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue.

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 🤔

[-] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] puppy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

First you said,

I feel like he was probably joking

Now you say

When someone jokes and there isn't a victim

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.
