I have seen a lot of sentiment wonder "why some people do not like Elmo Musk".

This fact is probably something close to why I personally don't like the guy: he comes across as a personified avatar of the fact that laws don't really apply to folks with those kinds of resources, and that us peons have literally no recourse when faced with a rich person who wants to do whatever they feel like doing.



I'm not sure I'd rank "giving employees 60 days pay for sitting at home doing absolutely nothing" up there with "working in a Victorian coal mine", in terms of abusive employee relations.

What, in your opinion, would be fair, other than "paying them forever for doing absolutely nothing"?

The law apparently says he has to pay them for 60 days. He's doing that.


This is why you should hate your society and its values, not Musk.


While I don't disagree that I should hate this society and its values, that does not mean I shouldn't have some disdain for folks like musk:

"hate the player, not the game" doesn't apply to folks who own the referees.
