"Lukas Walton owned 21% as of the start of the year" Are you sure about that? Do you have an authoritative source? I get zero hits for Lukas among Wal-Mart shareholder disclosures on sec.gov.

My friends at SolarCity never had to work 70h in a week before Tesla acquired them (nor work weekends installing solar panels on Musk mansion in L.A.) So it might very well be the result of the same company and processes.
So your friend had better working conditions during the same time period this work was done (before the acquisition)?
