You're a billionaire that grew up a rich kid in an apartheid state, you don't get to pretend to be working class fuck off.
i will literally die before i give up remote work
i will NEVER go back. I HATE CARS.
Tfw the nearest train tracks are privately owned, cargo-only, and 800 km away
Commute sucks
Literally less productive in the office because constant distractions
Also way less anxious when I'm not surrounded by people
:melon-musk: is the last person on earth i would trust to distinguish between what is and isn't "morally correct", especially for workers after his union busting at tesla
Petty tyrant CEO of a car company wants people to use cars to commute to a place where he can micromanage employees. More at 11.
remote work is 'morally wrong'
work from home people need to get off their high horse
if people of WFH are on the high horse, how are they morally wrong? :thinkin-lenin:
Clearly horses are bourgeois, and the bigger the horse the more bourgeois you are.
I'm going to start stealing 1 office supply each time I hear a variation of this rhetoric
:party-cat: "It's your duty as oppressed workers to steal from your exploiters. It's going to be an outstanding day". :party-blob:
It’s like, really, you’re going to work from home and you’re going to make everyone else who made your car come work in the factory?” Musk said. “You’re going to make the people who make your food that gets delivered that they can’t work from home? You know, the people that fix your home, they can’t work from home, but you can? Does that seem morally right? That’s messed up
the most baby brained thinking
"I have suffered at some point, so therefore suffering is good and everyone should experience it daily."
It doesn't even make sense. Other people moving has nothing to do with your job.

SUFFERING IS NOT FUCKING VIRTUOUS!!! FEELING MISERY DOES NOT SPEAK TO YOUR CHARACTER!!! IT IS NOT A FUCKING VIRTUE TO MAXIMIZE YOUR PAIN!!! YOU ARE NOT DYING FOR ANYONE'S SINS!!! YOU ARE RATIONALIZING YOUR EXPLOITATION!!!
“It’s like, really, you’re going to work indoors and you’re going to make everyone else who paved your roads work outside?” Musk said. “You’re going to make the people who grows your food that gets delivered that they can’t work indoors? You know, the people that builds your home, they can’t work indoors, but you can? Does that seem morally right? That’s messed up.”
Musk said that he thinks indoor workers need to “get off the goddamn moral high horse with the work-inside-a-building bullshit because they’re asking everyone else to not work indoors while they do.”
I mean what do you mean by "fixing the problem"? Some, actually most, jobs just can't be done from home. Musk may be a dumbass, even here, but at the end of the day these kind of jobs make the world go round and can't be done at home. While it's very good that people don't have to go to the office for no reason, most workers worldwide still need to clock in due to the nature of their jobs, and that's not changing anytime soon.
I feel like I am the Puerto Rican lumberperson equivalent of Diogenes
I need me a mech so I can philosophize better
Musk is really gonna use horse metaphors after giving a contractor $250k to settle a sexual harassment allegation where he offered to buy her a horse for sexual favors?
New headline: Elon Musk says something about "getting off" and a "horse"
I have no delusions that I'll ever have a job where I could even possibly work from home but I don't actually want others to endure anything just because I do.
:melon-musk: :stalin-gun-1: :stalin-gun-2:
When Covid began I really appreciated how much less traffic there was.
Yeah that was awesome. It was right before summer too when traffic is lighter anyway. Really made me realize how much time traffic adds to my commute
Protip: you can actually omit the spaces between emotes, which will make the multipart emotes seamless:
