Musk is a huge step back, just compare him with Werner von Siemens: inventor, engineer, pioneer in the application of electricity and a leading industrialist soon. Siemens realized that a successful business needed happy workers: He reduced work hours from the then standard 72 hrs/week to just 54 (on six days a week), gave boni not just to management but also to workers. In 1872, decades before a nation-wide social-security, his company introduced a pension, widower and orphan fund. No one force Siemens to do those things, Musk on the other hand actively fights against his companies' workers.

- stop50 2y agoThere are more people who did things for the people. For example the Fuggerei: an complex for poor people. it only costs 0.88€ per year (plus heat, water and power) and you have to pray for the founding family. It was even part of the history lessons.
