blwnsmoke Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Have to make those 1st quarter numbers... Good old Tesla.. profits before safety.. oh wait.. profits? https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/tesla-vows-plant-workers-temperatures-115803414.html Edited March 20, 2020 by blwnsmoke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgeh Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 "...he said the company continues to hold discussions with government officials about making Tesla’s workspace safe while also continuing to run an operation Tesla deems critical to national infrastructure." (emphasis added) err, or would that be "critical to Tesla's income" (as blwnsmoke noted, "profits before safety.. or wait .. profits?") I think we finally see the downside of running a company like a ponzi scheme. Losing money on the cars themselves, but making up for it with stock offerings, advance deposits, debt, and credit sales.

Right. Coming from a company that claims to be "union neutral" they sure are daring the workers t unionize 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah? It could be really shitty, I don't know I haven't read it, but unless he somehow controls their souls or has actually enslaved them... They could still go get a new job no? I don't really care about about Tesla or Elon, I just think this particular issue is a dumb thing to hate on him for. Maybe some of his employees want to keep working? It would be cool if he could give everyone paid time off but I don't know if they could afford that lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what Tesla is doing for employees at its Fremont assembly plant. The plant is shutting down production lines by COB March 23. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcartwright99 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 He knows but he doesn't care. He has no choice but to put everyone at risk if he is trying to stave off bankruptcy. Their bankruptcy is almost guaranteed at this point. Especially now that China is having a second wave of people getting infected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
