Musk said last week: β€œI disagree with the idea of unions. I just don’t like anything which creates a lords-and-peasants kind of thing.”

What a colossal twat.

He just hates when peasants win, he doesn't mind the lords and peasants otherwise.

[–] AAA@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

Not only doesn't he like the peasants winning, he also doesn't like to be reminded that the peasants are indeed in power - because his lordship relies a lot more on them than vice versa.

Hey, those werent peasants. He bought them legally and even gave them enough bread most of the time.

And when he didn’t have bread to spare, he painted rocks brown!

lords-and-peasants kind of thing

The thing he refers to is of course people he sees as peasants not accepting him as lord.

A twat with no understanding of how nordic countries have strong labour unions playing a vital role in their economic models. Cowboys with cash can and should go fuck themselves.

Not to mention, a hypocrite. What a thing for a multi billionaire to say.
