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

Isn't he the world's richest person currently?

“I disagree with the idea of unions. I just don’t like anything which creates a lords-and-peasants kind of thing.”

Tweet sent from private plane.

The propaganda here is that they want you to believe that collective action against them makes them lords - but they were lords before, unionisation just limited that power: The limitation of power makes them cry their propaganda.

Good ... then he should sit down with the unions and talk to them as equals

[-] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 27 points 7 months ago

He has been. No idea if he still is, seeing how X is in freefall.

It’s understandable that he doesn’t like lords and peasants, since his family’s fortune was built on slave labor. He would naturally much prefer a master-and-slave kind of thing.

I don’t think X ever was part of his valuation. I

I think the French guy who owns Gucci is currently ahead because of the Twitter stupidity.

Twitter was a drop in the bucket for him. 44bil lost and still in the top 3 most wealthy people in the world. He has way too much money for his own good and we are watching in real time what that kind of money does to a person

[-] youngGoku@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I don't think the money is the root of evil in Musk. I think he was a bad man before he got rich. What we are witnessing is the result of a bad man who got too rich and now he can assert his will with his wallet in politics, economy, business, and anything else he chooses.

It's sickening.
