Whatever the truth of the matter I think this highlights a specific thing people should pay attention to when they choose their employer: different companies have different values and when considering joining, it's good to make sure those values are aligned with ones personal values. Having a strongly disaligned value base can lead to burnout and depression. Tesla values seem to be in the extreme end of the spectrum. I am not saying that this is good or bad, just that they are not necessarily aligned with the values of all. But all in all, having a car is pretty pointless if there is no-one to drive them. Hiring clever people and then hindering their pro-creation is not really helping the society as talented parents usually get talented children, and for children the most important time of their development is their first years. Screw those, and the person is considerably worse off. A healthy child might get well of and by a fancy Tesla in 30 years. I'm not saying slave laboring the father would make the infant a mental patient and a destitute, but discouraging healthy parenthood is hedging the bets towards worse outcomes. The same argumentation can be said of space travel. What's the point of traveling to Mars unless the needs of future of the species are taken care of as well. This includes resources for nurture and care.
