His argument also boils down to the idea that since other jobs such as manufacturing require employees to be on site, that all jobs should have the same requirement. Smh...

Also the idea of a ruthless capitalistic multibillionaire invoking morality as a defense is just kafkaesque.

I like his argument, and I would like to extend it to something like 'Since some people get through life on a salary of $7.75/hr (Or less), we should take away Elon's billions of dollars.' It'd only be fair - he can, after all, do well without all the comforts and power that his wealth affords him.

But that would be unfair because it harms Elon.

What happens to us doesn't matter, remember? We're all just NPCs.

I think it would also be a reasonable accommodation to just cut the SWE’s salaries down to 10% below the lowest end salary of the manufacturing workers who have to be in person to do their job and let the SWEs do their job remote.

But I expect that may not be a popular opinion here on HN, though.
