All Musk companies are sweatshops.
To think that amount of wealth can be earned is fucking naive. More than naive. More than how a child is naive. It's willful ignorance, full stop, and if you are for it, you're the enemy of the people.
This is only true as an "Achilles and tortoise" argument. I agree it can't be 100% fairly earned, but then nothing can.
Can it be 80% fairly earned? 60%?
If somebody declares part of the people enemies of the people, then they are enemies of the people themselves.
That's a good question actually, the first one at least. I'd be fine with 80% of it being earned if someone did 80% of the work. I know life is a bit more nuanced than that, but people are smart and it is achievable, or at least close to the idea.
The second part though is not logical and I really don't think I need to explain why, but I am willing to.
When you make the concept of "enemy of the people" acceptable, first people to use it are those with most power.
