Why would companies be democratic? That would be an extreme historical rarity

#122Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, recently described himself as a "free speech absolutist."
Re: SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
#123The most disgusting fact I learned in this article is that Shotwell personally backed Musk on denying claims he sexually harassed the flight attended. What? Anyone who knows these people and their friends knows that the situation as described in the media was not out of the realm of possibility.

#124Musk may end up being the most influential person to: 1. Electrify our vehicular infrastructure 2. Get humans to the Moon, if not to Mars 3. Accelerate the unionization of Silicon Valley tech workers His approach to remote-vs-in-office work is less that of a data-informed futurist and more that of an autocrat.

Are the people working at SpaceX and Tesla "Silicon Valley tech workers"? I think most of them aren't. > he'll be loudly proclaiming his support of democracy Unlikely, given his dependence on China - he'll stay quiet, just like Tim Cook does at Apple.
