San Francisco –
Elon Musk was at odds with a well-known academic and former minister. Even the skipper of the company Tesla and the SpaceX ridiculed him as an idiot.
To begin with, a former US Secretary of Labor and professor at the University of California Berkeley named Robert Reich criticized Musk on Twitter. He regretted that Tesla cut employee salaries during the Corona pandemic when Musk’s wealth soared due to rising share prices for the electric car company.
“Tesla forced all employees to cut their wages by 10% from mid-April to July. In the same period, Tesla’s shares skyrocketed and CEO Elon Musk wealth quadrupled from USD 25 billion to USD 100 billion. Musk is a modern robber aristocrat,” he said. .
The post was shared tens of thousands of times and also received tons of likes. Musk, who is also active on Twitter, did not remain silent and replied directly.
“All Tesla employees also get shares, so their compensation also increases proportionally. You are an idiot in modern times,” he said. Elon Musk fierce.
Quoted detikINET from Newsweek, in March, Tesla temporarily halted car production at its California and New York plants due to the Corona pandemic. Then, all employees are subject to a pay cut which is described as a collective sacrifice.
Musk himself considered the panic caused by the Corona pandemic excessive and forced to reopen the Tesla factory in California. At that time, the Reich also criticized him. “Elon Musk threatened to lay off employees unless he was allowed to put their health at risk. Capitalism’s worst,” he tweeted. At that time, Musk also replied to him on Twitter even though it was only an obscure symbol.
On another occasion, Reich said that it didn’t matter if he was the target of Musk ridicule. According to him, it is unfair if Musk makes employees have to choose between work or health.
“I admire you. You are a brilliant inventor, visionary, that’s amazing. But you also have to have a public responsibility. You have a responsibility to your employees, especially in this pandemic. Do you understand? Elon Musk, “he said on YouTube.
