I agree that blind respect of the law is not inline with American culture, but petulant disrespect of the law should not be encouraged either. The way Musk has been conducting himself lately strikes me less as someone who is pushing back against irrational dogma, and more like someone who's throwing a tantrum because he's unhappy that a pandemic is hindering his ability to run his business.
- icelancer 6y agoI wouldn't disagree with that. I'm enjoying it all the same.

- pengaru 6y ago> his recent Joe Rogan interview shows the contrary I listened to the interview and found Elon ridiculously dismissive of the risks and when he started arguing Shanghai's gigafactory not having any employees die of COVID-19 was proof of the shutdown being unnecessary, it became hard to continue listening at all. How many of those workers got infected and went on the increase community spread to non-employees? Why are we only considering employee deaths? It's as willfully ignorant as people saying things like "I don't wear a mask because I don't have any symptoms."
- rcMgD2BwE72F 6y agoYou can also consider the effects of reopening factories (like Tesla's Shanghai) on the spread of C19 and view the manufacturers' sanitary policies as successful (in avoiding a rapid 2nd wave). I guess Musk talks about deaths (over thousands of employees) because it's the most reliable indicator, one that does not depend on, say, testing policies.
