You’re gonna make people who make your food that gets delivered – they can’t work from home? The people that come fix your house? They can’t work from home, but you can? Does that seem morally right? That’s messed up.”
I suppose next up it’s morally wrong that the people making your food make less money than you too.

#5I think he's pandering to some audience that isn't overlapping a lot with hacker news. I don't know who it is. Probably it's some caricature of blue collar worker that exists only in his mind. His superfans will like it.

#6This fella doesn’t even understand that different roles and line of works will have different characteristics, I can be an offshore oil drilling engineer who spends 6months on duty and 6months off, or a university instructor who spends few hours teaching a week while rest researching on my couch, some other person is doing their work flying while others most of their time are in the data centers, and the list goes on, some can do their jobs remotely and some can’t, that’s how work, works!
Sometimes I wonder how he’s even wealthy with such a low IQ indicators..

Elon is a brilliant promoter, hustler and salesman.
He profits off the work of hardworking people with high IQs and lots of expertise.
It is a fallacy to conflate the work of 1000s of skilled people at Tesla, Twitter, SpaceX, etc and assign the accomplishments to a single person. Elon is the guy with the whip on a long-boat rowed by scores of shackled slaves.

#9Put the productivity argument aside. Does Elon Musk have any moral authority to harangue other people? His comments lack any self-awareness, to say nothing of moral insight.

#10Was he high? If someone says “like” that much I automatically disregard everything they say. Either drugs or disorganized thinking.
