Believing that working on hard problems justifies abusing employees, and blaming the employees for "not pulling their weight" is really reprehensible thinking. That's something straight out of a comic book villain's "the ends always justify the means" monologue.

Okay, please cite the employee abuse you are claiming. I've yet to see claims that aren't hotly contested or that have ended up being traced back to various short seller campaigns.

It's a free country, employees can work where they want, and TSLA employees got stock. Guaranteed if they toughed it out it was more than worth it financially.

Martin Tripp being an egregious example, who was held up for years as some poster boy of David vs Goliath whistle-blowing only to ultimately have been ruled against in court.

Musk takes away with the other hand: by backing Bitcoin and the large-scale waste of not-yet-zero-carbon electricity. https://www.ft.com/content/a9bd5b42-272e-465c-9284-9fe2a7906...

Tesla isn't mining it. Bitcoin costs nothing to hold. It's a hedge against inflation given TSLA's massive cash reserves.

Governments try to keep inflation in a narrow range; they avoid high inflation for obvious reasons, they avoid low inflation precisely so people don’t sit on massive cash reserves, because it is bad for everyone when that happens.

It so ludicrously volatile that it’s not a rational hedge against anything.

Is that the new angle to attack bitcoin with?

Our milkman had an electric vehicle in the 70ies.

You are welcome nonetheless.
