You know what's morally wrong? To sit in traffic for 2 hours a day. That's 10 hours a week wasted.
Thanks to y'all peasants voting for R and D politicians who rather steal millions $ than invest in an outstanding public transportation, taking care of mental health issues, etc, but they just pocket all the $ they can, all still take advantage of the taxes loopholes including Trump who obviously didn't change it.
In the end, both R and D are the same thing pretty much, and they both do an amazing job at splitting the peasants so they can all keep getting extremely rich.

What if you die when teleported and someone who looks and acts exactly like you, with the same memories and stuff, gets re-created there? Teleportation is scary stuff man.
I was thinking the same thing. If you go to work just to sit at a computer or at the phones it's wasted time, energy and more traffic when it's not necessary. Also if you have kids or elderly to care for it's invaluable. I usually agree with Elon though.
And 16 hours of pollution produced
I'm a truck driver and obviously I can't work from home, But if you're in a occupation that can work from home I 100% support it. Traffic on the freeways is complete disaster, the more people that can work from home the better. Let's keep the highways open for people that have to actually go into work and can't stay home.
Yeah, but your truck is a second home. 😉😀
@@davide724 technically you're right. But I hate traffic so let's keep office workers at home lol
Well said and good logic. Elon is off base. It could be a bad decision for some people, but that is totally a personal understanding of what is good for your lifestyle. Individuals should use their own wisdom and descretion, not a one size fits all rational from Elon.
As long as the productivity stays the same
Yes I agree one hundred percent it depends on what industry you're in I'm a Wholesale Distributor my work-from-home I do mostly all shipping I live in Southern California the freeways are mess there's no point of me driving around I don't have to
This is a terrible argument. By this standard it’s morally wrong he’s a billionaire but his employees aren’t………
I’d like to give your comment a billion likes.
Elon musk is a hype baby. He is nothing without the people that work for him. It is said that instead of buying twitter he could have paid his workers some money. To show that he appreciates them.
Typical overlord
@@Alienshadeyes. Rich people should give everything away! The poor should not do more!
Why not? Becoming a billionaire is free. One must work hard to be poor.@@jordanbabcock9349
Then it’s also morally wrong for someone to have a job indoors while other people have to work outside. Let’s all sit in the mud together laptop or shovel so we can all be equal.
Exactly !! Sorry but that sentense what Elons said just say idiots
So how tf am I gonna account for a company going bankrupt before it happens using a shovel outside 😂
Love this! 😂😂😂😂 😂 Correct
That's a bit of a stretch bud.
You can change your job if you don't wanna work in the mud. You're talking about occupation, musk is talking about being cozy at home while working vs anywhere but home.
Car manufacturer saying it's morally wrong to not drive to work.
Guy who extracts materials from mines with literal slaves tells you that you are immoral because you can work from home while a home repair guy needs to come to the home to repair it.
Underrated comment
Well to be fair, he didn't say his workers need to drive to work. They can uber, bike, or take public transportation.
@@vaeldrnero6251literal slaves?
Lol. Clueless.
Nah he is extremely hardworking person and I understand the premise, but it’s not like I do it because it’s under me to go somewhere or I am lazy, I just make more money this way, at this point in my life.
Man who owns a car company thinks people should travel to work SHOCK
well said lolol
A man who starts a company based on reducing carbon emissions is against working from home.. FFS
He slept in the fsctory
Yeah if everyone worked from home less people might buy his cars to commute to work.
Lol great point
What’s actually morally wrong is tax evasion from billionaires.
Say it louder for the people in the back!!! 💯
Elon paid 11 figures in taxes. Not sure what crack you're smoking
Well said.
theft evasion?
@umadbro4493 nope tax evasion. Taxation is not theft, its the price of the services provided to us by the government. If you want a stateless society so badly Antarctica is nice this time of year.
He owns a car company, why will he allow people to not have to drive to work every day.
So you're telling me my Tesla with FSD can drive itself while everyone else has to drive their car by themselves ? It's morally wrong !!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well done!
💯💯💯💯💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 . God bless you, I normally agree with musk some of the time and this time he is dead wrong!
👏👏👏That's right! Tell him to give us all Teslas to drive us to work and take us home then.
@@ShadowsOfTheBeast1Me too, but you're correct, he's dead wrong on this one
😂😂😂 touche
Drive to work, sit in traffic for 2 hours, pull out your laptop and sit at a desk.
Or take a goddamn train. Laptop workers usually live in developed countries. Most of the time ,public transportation shouldnt be an issue.
@@Nycku007 no
@@TheKingTywinLannister 👌👍
Government makes public transport system for a reason
@@Nycku007i dont think this is realistic at all. I know for a fact its imposible in most places in mexico and even in san francisco i know people that use public trsnsportation and its a big waste of time. I work way more hours working from home than i ever did at the office. Most of my teammates would agree
He is too opinionated and self-serving. It depends on your profession , the world is not fair.
Working from home, you save hours from transportation, food , gasoline , and childcare.
It's better for the employee
You are right !! What Elon said was absolutely stupit
Its cause he wants to rent out his real estate. Hes a fake humble guy
its more productive too, better for employee and employeer, only worse for commercial real estate and car companies....
Exactly 💯
Working from home enables:
- Felxibility with personal life
- less stress when dealing with bad managers
- Mutual trust
- avoid meaningless meeting and focus more on delivery
- avoid wasting hours on traffic which is obviously not paid by the employer
- Getting the best profiles that WILL ask for home working anyway
- Reduce the need to have enormous offices
- And probably a billion more arguments.
Elon is totally out of his socks.
@@deebee3174 That's because you failed as a manager AND as a recruiter. As a manager, you need to be working closely with your employee to monitor tasks properly, to ensure enough work is done and also not too much to avoid burn outs. As a recruiter, you need to be good enough to understand what people will fit remote positions. If you think people can't be lazy while working in offices, you are deluted, to stay polite :-)
@@deebee3174 allowing remote working will yield you the best profiles that have personal exigence. The other will be the mediocre ones.
@@deebee3174 No, you failed because you can't manage to follow progress of tasks. Working isn't the subject, making stuff done IS the subject. Your job as a manager isn't to monitor if they are working or not. Your job is to monitor if they get their tasks done in time and with good quality standards. If not, then you didn't do one of your job as a manager: Production/work Planning & deadlines management.
Also: If you hire someone that you can't trust: You either failed in your recruitement process, OR you are a control freak that can't trust an employee to make his job. In both situation: You failed.
You can complain all you want, but I, my self, run a team of 34 tech dev that are working remotely for 90% of them, and everything is wokring perfectly and in timely manner. Allowing full remote working enable to get the best profiles too. Because the best profiles wants fexibility, and not an over-controling boss.
Free tips for you: Learn to trust your employee, they will give it back to you time 10. If they don't: Coach them to do so, if they still dont: Fire them.
I manage about 50 people and we have seen positives from WAH, I will say bad apples always exist, but those are few and far between. Being a good leader helps. Also, studies show it works. Elon is wrong here. It is a control dynamic and they do work better for HIM when he can YELL directly at them.
@@KaustNothane pretty much yup
Sorry Elon, that's the stupidest argument against WFH I ever heard.
Outside of my own WFH job, I have other WFH jobs too, and they are 1) fixing my own car, 2) fixing my own plumbing 3) cutting my own lawn, etc.
Easily the stupidest argument. Makes zero sense

@HERO GAMES Well, that's why I said "IF people can"
Clearly, some jobs you can't work from home, including mine. But if someone just works in an office, I don't really care if they work from home or not.
Obviously you did
The way his employees are treated is morally wrong so…
Really? Decent wages? As much overtime as you could possibly want? Sounds kinda nice to me
@@d4rkblu386 there have been endless complains on the structures in which they used which have been reportedly been falling apart, scarsity of protections and a couple more things
I'm a big believer in working for your money. I think it's morally wrong for Elon to collect billions while not really doing any work himself.
Do it yourself if it's that easy
This is how the elites put one group against another.
For real. Calling us the "laptop class" in order to put blue collar workers against us, as if we're the ones putting 99 cents of every dollar they make for the company in our pockets. We're in the same crappy situation as them, we're just slightly better off.
Correct..we are not slaves to commute for 2 hrs to office and then work frustrated..productivity reduces..elite ceo garbage..
Love this Elon fellow
Exactly
@@holoholohaolenokaoi2299you gonna be one of the geniuses on the death trips to Mars?
By that logic, none of us should work in an office either- the people who built it worked outside in the heat, so we should too
A friend of mine works in a prison. We should all work around dangerous inmates because he’s forced to do so.
The people who ran plumbing for the building had to work in the sewer. All office cubicles, laptop equipment, & rolley chairs.. to the sewer!! 😂
🤣😂
Yeah agree ....totally nonsense.. we have showers Africans don't.... moral issue.... we go to office by car, people in africa go walking.... another moral issue... you are a millionare runing a company that produce car who exploits african miners... we are not... moral issue
@@user-bh5in4xf3q To be fair, Elon is African American.
And if he is taking advantage of African Miners, I'm just saying Africans were the ones who started slavery, one of the few exports they ever had.
On a more serious note, he actually used to sleep in his office instead of going home when things were starting up at Tesla.
The idea that everyone needs to suffer because some people can't have it is insane. Shall we all have the health care standards of Sudan because otherwise it's morally wrong?
Elon wants to watch his workers get underpaid and overworked .
By that logic, he doesn't have a right to own billions while so many people are starving on this planet, it's morally wrong
Exactly
How is that the same? Bit of a reach.

Is just he likes to have Total CONTROL on his employees ...

Can't imagine why the owner of a car company has a problem with people working from home.
Bummed out 69 angry emos?
Use your 🧠 🤡
He's right
The problem with divinity is you want everything to happen at once if you ask me. 🦎
That's a ridiculous argument.
If your job is something physical like an electrician, a plumber, an ER nurse, a firefighter, a food delivery person (delivery is literally in the job title), no you CANNOT work from home. If you’re a computer programmer/designer, or a human resources manager, or an insurance agent, etc, you CAN work from home. You cannot compare a a food delivery person to a computer programmer. One is needed physically, the other isn’t.
Exactly. He's comparing apples with oranges.
Just because he has some massive financial success does not make him the Oracle of civilization.😂😂😂😂
Einstein worked out general and special relativity at home.
U sure it wasn’t at the patent office? 🤔
Nope he did this in a lab you goof… he needed help from all sorts of people to work that theory out, and he sure as hell didn’t have those people all come to his house to help him….. unbelievably ignorant comment
Einstein is a huge grab for your flimsy point.
"I think working from home is extremely immoral. Listen to Elon."

Einstein discovered those things in a lab, not at home. Not even close buddy
The guy who built his own tunnels because he hates traffic telling everyone to wait in traffic thats perfect
He builds tunnels so that the traffic is more fluid. His tunnels will allow for less time spent in traffic. Also he never said to wait in traffic; now THAT is perfect
So he’s trying to find more efficient methods for people who do leave the house to be productive? Also, does anyone enjoy sitting in traffic?
@@1chasehayez the best way to reduce traffic is to allow employees to work from home
@@mushylog tunnels eventually become congested speed limit would be 50mph people tend to drive even slower than that in tunnels. A mile of tunnels costs over a billion dollars compared to $900,000 for conventional roads. Tunnels would be much better used for subway railways than single person vehicles

If working from home is morally acceptable (and i don't disagree) would it be morally acceptable for your employer to outsource your job to a cheaper country.
What do you mean would. It already happens on a regular basis.
Various companies including virgin media outsourced a lot of their phone support to india, because you guessed it, its cheaper.
Our companies IT dept is now mostly outsourced to india or similar as well, thankfully hardly ever have to call them but when you do its always that accent you can barely understand.
Bizzare that a futurist dosen't see the value of working from home.
this is like having some nobleman lecturing peasants on the morality of some working in a shop while others toil in the fields. Just downright stupid.
How on earth is that a reasonable comparison?!😂
Yeah noblemen were’t nearly as rich
Hey Elon, ever heard of the management iceberg? No? Not surprised.
Sorry Elon, but your front-line employees see 100% of the problems. Top management only sees the 3% above the surface.

Damn Elon - you get to have a private jet but the workers in your factory don’t .. Is that morally fair?
Yes it is. Elon creates much more value than an unskilled factory worker. Therefore he gets to have more. Should elon instead travel by horse and carriage since its more likely his factory workers can also afford that?

its a car company, he can't afford people realizing they dont have to commute
Most people in the US are out of touch with reality that's why Russia invaded Ukraine because they knew the US is living in LALA land.
he's done more real, hard work than you ever have lol, shut up
That's because those that work at home don't have to be managed at work by a middling manager so if home workers are getting their work done then you won't need that middle layer of management...that's a great way to save company money.... YOUR 🔥 Fired!!
👍👍👍👍Well said.
This is a perfect example of a miserable person feeling the need to make others miserable as well
I couldn’t disagree more. Since working from home, I’m way more productive at work, I have more $ in my pocket, more time with family, I’m healthier, happier and have more energy…my company saves on office space and I’m not polluting the environment. It’s a win win all the way around.
The dumbest reasoning that I have ever heard from a man that is supposedly a genius.
He’s not a genius. He’s a good entrepreneur, but not that good considering Xs market value has dropped by 70% since he took over…definitely not a genius. The geniuses are the people he employs.

I was a remote worker for 15 years. I didn’t have to drive 120 miles a day in the worst traffic in the world. Well, maybe the second worst. Interstate four in Central Florida. The company got more work out of me. I was happier. It takes one more car off the road. And as the gentleman said, the trucker, traffic is ridiculous. I’m 30 minutes from the entrance to Walt Disney World in Central Florida. But in traffic, which now - - never stops, it’s 90 minutes. Sometimes 180 minutes. Elon Musk is brilliant. But just set goals for the employees. If they meet those goals and they can work from home that’s wonderful. Years ago, the commute was one hour. I admit. Too much. I took the job, I excelled, and I stayed for 30+ years. You got to the point I was going to quit. The management said… OK… We give in. You can work from home. I was so much more productive. So much happier. MR. EMPLOYER. THINK ABOUT IT. The employees are happier. the offices and clients instantaneous - - Think about it. It’s the 21st century. Thank you.
Rich men know nothing about our struggles.

I can’t work from home in my job but I’ve got no issue with anyone that can. As long as you can be productive, working from home will give you a much better quality of life, no travelling, can cook a healthy meal, on your lunch break you can put the washing on or do the dishes. I see way more positives than negatives to it.
It gets abused by some people for sure. BUT i remember working onsite and theres PLENTY of time being wasted there too lol.
the problem is for some jobs technically yes you can absolutely work from home but in reality it makes the work much less efficient. it probably does provide many benefits that make your non work life better but it will make your work worse. of course many people only talk about how it makes it better for the non work part and refuse to admit there's a downside for the actual work aspect.
@chochooshoe it depends on the person. If they are a responsible, accountable person, their work doesn't suffer. Also management makes a big difference. I have quotas I have to meet everyday. My managers are more concerned about getting my tasks done, rather than being glued to my desk. Depends on the type of job. Pros and cons all the way around work from home vs on site.
Productivity…. People work themselves to death and this one thing we mostly all love ( working from home) is morally wrong?!? STOP
WORKING FROM HOME IS THE BEST WAY TO SAVE GAS ⛽️ AND WASTED TIME in Traffic ✅
I'm shocked that a guy who owns a car company wants you to drive to work.

I sometimes work on location with clients. I can confirm that working from home is a LOT more productive.
I think some people thrive working onsite, and some thrive working from home. I prefer working from home, but if my line of work required me to work onsite, then so be it. No ill will either way
@@davidfoote696 Difference between your line of work requiring it and your boomer boss requiring it. Certain jobs (currently) need to be done in person, like surgeons, nurses, grocery store clerks, food service, hairstylists, etc. With current technology there's no getting around that.
Any job that can be done entirely on a computer/phone, there is absolutely zero reason to require in office work. Anyone who disagrees with that is coping or has a vested interest in office work. Muskrat here obviously is a car salesman and wants everyone driving. But there's also a lot of money to be lost in urban office real estate if that becomes worthless, and wealthy owners don't want that. Micro-managing middle management types also become less relevant when performance can still be tracked remotely, so there's a whole subset of careers that are threatened by WFH, too. Neither are valid arguments against WFH, though.
@@davidfoote696 big difference between working from office because its actually required. and working from office because "my commercial realestate market"
People want to work from home for two reasons: 1) Their commute. 2) Their work environment. If you have a decent commute and you enjoy the people you work with, working from home sounds like a nightmare.
Life is full of choices Elon. I respect the choice of someone to be a plumber or drive a truck. I also respect the person who chooses a desk job that can be accomplished remotely. It’s called freedom and capitalism.
Elon seems to think that if anyone has to suffer in a particular way, everyone has to suffer in that same way. That's sheer stupidity.
It’s a communist mentality to think everyone should be 100% equal in their jobs, finances, etc
He doesn't think that, he just wants the plebs to suffer, it certainly doesn't apply to Mr Private Jet.

He is right. Those who want to work from home merely want to exploit coworkers and their boss. Anyone who has his own business or works alone, knows that when you work this way productivity is reduced. Writers, accountants, programmers, lawyers can all work from home when they will work alone anyway, but nobody does it. They all go to their office. Even those who live alone take the time to go to their office.

@@wutm8 You do not even understand the basics of productivity. If you had written a novel, or started a company, or worked in collaboration on anything, you would know how valuable the environment is, from the work space that is dedicated to work to the social aspects of the work enviroment. It is better to work in the office if you are interested in productivity. If you are merely working for a salary and have no interest in productivity, you can work from home and claim your boss is being unreasonable.

I work with other engineers all over the country just fine via phone and computer. There is no need for me to drive for hours to some office to do the same thing from there. It’s idiotic. Elon, you may be a rich guy but your opinions on somethings are stupid.
For a structural engineer, If you arent smart enough to pay attention to his whole speech....I dont want you engineering my crap..
He said in the video there are exceptions to the statement he made. I'm pretty sure he's referring to you as the exception.
@@florida.cameron you'll have to excuse the guy that can't spell....he thinks elon musk is an idiot with 100 billion dollars....
Engineer is not a pro manager. Elon is 100% correct. You can't build motivated and united team of highly performing people remotely. Because they will not spend time together, chatting less to each other, do not taking coffees/lunches and etc. All this staff is very important and are tangible for business. They you describe is like do my staff and don't touch me because I don't care about everything. It is not kind of people you can find in SpaceX for example, especially on early stages of any ventures.
Bilionaires really making minimum wage workers seem entitled just because they can do their work from home no problem
He must work remotely for his 10 companies surely???
He actually lives near his headquarters in a small box home and travels back and forth
@@blisscribSure. But he must work remotely at some stages, perhaps when he is in the office but not ‘On-site’. Or. Working in one of his Company offices and dialling in for another Conference.
@@PonderingsofIrishPresbyterian hmmm yeah, well I don’t think he prefers working at home even though he has restrictions
No, he’s there 40 hours a week at every single one collecting his billions of dollars by hand /s
Masonic magic he is NOT a genius savant & that cr@p actress Maye spent all her life using stolen artifacts & magic
It is much bigger moral problem than productivity problem. Imagine your neighbour who works from home gets new furnitures, new office equipment, their bills paid partly while saving money on fuel/bus/train tickets, childcare, ready meals while you walk in rain to get a bus in order to get to work dropping your kid/s off to nursery on your way to/from work, spending extra money on ready food at work and being told off for eating not on your break but when you were hungry
If the company you work for tells you to work from home, you work from home. If you have a sick child and you are able to work from home take full advantage of it. Not everyone has a job where they can do that, but if they can, do it.
My productivity as an IT worker is far higher and more efficient use of time working from home rather than spending 3 hrs everyday commuting to work. Rich people like Musk who doesn't need to spend time on childcare, doing the school rounds, commuting on public transport, spending a quarter of wages on travel not to mention the lost time can talk off their backside about moral issues but in reality for many modern office workers going to the office everyday is a huge drain both physically and on the wallet.
He doesn't care, just trying to pit us against each other with irrational reasoning and appeals to emotion, a race to the bottom where he stands to make more money and exert more control. People like Elon praise equality and morals, while internally viewing almost everyone else as mindless grunts in need of an overseer. It's funny that he's factually incorrect more times than not, talk comes cheap to this guy. The 8/9 hour day is pretty much stretched to the limit of sane existence for the majority of people, add the commute and personal maintenance and you're left with almost nothing. Thank god for weekends - how about some team building?
And of course you charge for the benefit of the additional hours worked. if that's the case
He's not talking about the jobs that can be done from a computer okay whether that computer sits in a cubicle at work or sitting at home That's not the jobs he's talking about The laptop class that he mentions okay is not the IT class all right IT has always had to answer phone calls to tell people to turn it off and turn back on and they can do that at home or you know in a cubicle That's not what he's talking about
People need to work locally. We were at a factory and none of the people were local. Corporations talk about building local jobs and instead there's all kinds of labor staff agencies that rotate illegal foreign workers and these same agencies take part of the employees salary and these corporations get away with paying less than minimum wage.
Yes yes yes. Commute and useless interruptions at work a total time waste.
He completely failed to present any logical argument whatsoever
He said it's more productive to work in office. At least one argument.
@@bengsynthmusicit’s not much of an argument if he doesn’t provide any reasoning behind that statement.
But he's the smartest man on the planet 🌎! How dare you!

The people who fix my house run their own independent business from their home.
It's morally wrong to be a billionaire when you have employees who aren't billionaires
I totally and fundamentally disagree. I am more productive at home, not having to put up with all the chit chat and nonsense that goes on in an office.
100% agree!
He literally said there are exceptions. A lot of office jobs, that might be the case. Different occupations have different circumstances, some are more prone to toxic workplace cultures.
I think Elon has a point. At this current time the world is very much run by people doing jobs away from home. Without it civilisation collapses. So that reality that most people have to live by should be respected. Not that people can’t work from home, they can, but 99% can’t so it’s worth remembering that.
If working from home isn't moral, then working in an office probably isn't either. I can take an extra hour from lunch, talk to co-workers, and take toilet breaks whenever I want. I know for most that drive a truck or work in a car factory, that isn't the case.
@edster0398 not sure why I should feel bad for a job you chose when I have the skills to make multiple times more than them from home because I'm skilled.
Those same people probably don't want to pay taxes and politically don't help others ans generally selfish. Not sure why I should care about some entitled losers who feel entitled to bring me down because they're jealous?
It's morally and ethically right and good to not waste time, fuel, space and your employer's money
He says this because he has a meaningful job. Most people work boring office jobs, spending two hours a day travelling and eight hours a day "working" to do about three hours worth of actual work. The sooner the corporate world lets go of this stranglehold it has over our time, dignity, freedom and personhood the better. Technology is changing the world, why isn't it giving us more free time?
Elon does not believe that diversity and inclusion produces results. I’ve worked in operations for a manufacturing company for many years and through the years my field of work has been shrinking due to jobs being moved out of California that I have to take what I can get and work for a company outside of California who is willing to hire me for my skill sets and allows me to work remotely. It is a big advantage for me because I can stay where I’m established and still collaborate with others that does not require me to be full time inundated with operations . Hell, IT jobs don’t need you to work onsite matter of fact .
Of course he's against that. Employees who work in-person are easier to control and monitor. Less autonomy for the individual, more corporate oversight
If you're satisfied having a job, then you don't value autonomy.
As they should. Workers should be controlled. They’re being paid. What? This is why China is doing so well and us entitled, lazy, soft fools are not
Its almost like the people on top have no valid arguments for us being in an office.
If you want to work from home, start your own business that allows it. I agree with him, these high salary jobs for these zoomers have given them nothing but entitlement..
@@PNWPATRIOT206 in other words, you have no valid argument either
@@Andrew-it7fb how about this one, you cant build a car from home, if your doing office work and you need to communicate with someone its a lot faster to walk over and talk to them than to send an email that may take a whole day to get a response for.
@@Victor-vj5ds They came up with this new invention to allow people to speak remotely. It's called a telephone.
@@Andrew-it7fb give me a valid argument for an employer to allow it, in fact how would you feel if those who came in made more? Those who choose to work from home can do so for 25% less pay? That's a genuine question too you sir, I still want a valid argument for a "work from home" policy tho..
Working from home is so much more productive, no travel time (or traffic delays), minimal time getting ready in the morning, no annoying colleagues annoying you in person, it's bellissimo.
he just wants slaves and make you feel okay with it because of "moral issues". how about paying people minimum wage when you well know they deserve more? "does that seem moraly right?"
Working from home is morally wrong, but sleeping in the office is ok, apparently
@@drebin178ok so I guess his employees who witness this all the time are all lying
It’s great if all you care about is your work.
Elon musk just told you that he believes in communism
No reason for him to sleep in his office other than convenience… people just come to his office to get the ok on things, all of that could be done through a phone call. Elon is not building the cars himself, he just has to attend meetings or give the okay when it comes to new ideas for his cars. He serves no purpose other than being a green light and there is literally no reason for him to sleep at the factories/office other than convenience lol
Or he is trying to convince the workers that his giving his all for his company and they should too. No job is worth killing yourself for
It's morally wrong for mr Musk to enjoy sunlight while those poor miners work deep under the surface of the earth. All people should work under the surface.
He's provided jobs for those people and pays them well!

@@mosthonestcommentor Pathetic!!! Get iff your asz abd fjnd yiur iwn success!
Elon put a socialist spin on his opinion.
If a construction worker could do his job exactly the same way from home as he can on the field, I think that making him work on the field anyway would be described by most people as stupid and unnecessary.
I think it's morally wrong to be a billionaire
If its morally wrong for people to make career decisions that enable them to work from home because it is "unfair" to the people who choose a blue collar job. Then it is morally wrong for you to be filthy rich because its unfair that we arnt filthy rich because we chose a different path in life. There is no difference. Punishing people only because "its not fair" will always be morally wrong.
If you were a genius, you would be filthy rich too and most filthy rich people don’t work from home. Go figure
@@dbd8841 Not entirely true because your statement only applies to millionaires, even then, some millionaires. But no one works a morally right business to be billionaires.
@@TiffanyLye in my statement I said nothing about morally right or wrong. I simply made a point that if he was a genius he would be filthy rich too. How he got there is a different story but we also have to examine the fact that he created more job opportunities as well. In the US and elsewhere.
@@dbd8841 I do think creating jobs aren't the same as having the ability to ensure that your workers want to continue to work for you.
@@dbd8841 I think you missed the point I was making entirely. My point is everyone has should right to choose their best life based on their abilities and what they value. Saying you can't do somthing soly for the reason that others don't have the same opportunity based on previous life decisions is like saying musk can't be rich because none of us are. Even though he may have earned it and did things others where not willing to do. Sure there are other arguments why work from home may or may not be appropriate but that is irrelevant to the argument musk made.
Elon Musk being a billionaire is the best argument to convince anyone that lots of money does not make an idiot any smarter.
I think selling an electric car that won't charge in cold weather, preventing someone from driving to work, is morally wrong.....
I dedicate an entire room of my house as an office. I installed air-conditioning, i purchased my own desktop pc, backup storage, monitors, desk, chair, printer, peripherals, all at my own expense.
I pay for my own power, internet, milk, and coffee.
I also work early in the morning, late at night, and even weekends because I am set up to do so.
The way I look at it, I am giving consulting input for employee salary.
I do all of this to save the 15 hours per week employers were not paying me to commute. My only regret is the 25 years of my career that I didn't have the opportunity to work from home.
Milk and coffee , really?
@jeffo4817 i guess the point is, I take responsibility for my work environment and incidentals.
I don't need the company acting like they are doing me a favour.
@@AR-fh2uh ok ok you win
Well said
Early, late, nights and weekends...wow! Sounds like a bummer! No thanks.
