> I think that even if 1 in 100 employees flat out died because of Tesla, the company and Elon should carry on without slowing down anything. It's just too important that we transition out of a carbon economy.
That is how we built cathedrals in medieval times.
We like to think we're doing better now.
We liked to think we had very good reasons back then as well.
Now don't get me wrong, I believe we need to save ourselves from global warming and I believe this need is much more real than the belief that we need to save our immortal souls from the wrath of a Christian god if we don't sacrifice enough peasants stacking rocks in aesthetically pleasing ways.
And I really would like to believe we're doing better now.

Except that "faith" has been the excuse to commit the worst atrocities in human history and it's terrible that you even try to bring it up to defend a good thing.
Look at some other comments, some people saying that he's improved working conditions recently. THAT is the good thing.

You mean "died for our sins", right?
Would you sacrifice any 1 in 100 employees of Tesla to save our selv--souls or just the lowly peasants on the factory floor?
Will you roll the dice if rolling a one kicks Elon's bucket?
He's too important? Will you roll for yourself for every factory worker you deem unimportant?
