& ironically you talk about worshipping elon yet have just said you have followed him closely for a decade & consumed any media he puts out
& nothing bad has happened to you or anyone
So maybe it will end well

Maybe---but I follow all sorts of people I don't like, why does that have to do with anything or is relevant? Being informed is not a sin. Again I like the work his engineers do---he's not an engineer or a scientist. He's a CEO and PR person.

Because you specifically said 'worshipping individuals who have the potential to harm the planet'
I dont even think genuine worshippers of elon have followed him for 10 years
So im using that, to see if you actually mean what you said about harming the planet

Again I don't see how any of this is relevant. Being informed is not a sin. Taking interest in technology is not a sin. Not giving all of the credit to an egomanical CEO that steals other people's ideas is not a sin.

I think everyone realises that its not the CEO's of any company who actually puts in the hard to work make things happen
This isnt new, but i cant give credit to the thousands what work at tesla can i, i can credit elon in a way which also credifs everyone under him

Like how famouse generals dont actually get involved in the fighting, but they get praised in recognition that its the army on the ground what foes the heavy lifting
Or like how people praise football coaches when its the players who are doing the work

Yeah, but on balance that's not what people ever do with regard to Elon. Nobody ever speaks about his employees---all of which live in brutal working conditions, without unions, and without real job security.

POOR GUYS DONT HAVE UNIONS —- what a nincompoop:
Quote Tweet
I decided to compare what factory workers make with GM+UAW, vs. Tesla. The results were shocking.
I looked at three comparable roles across both companies, and tried to keep cost of living out by selecting similar locations.
tldr: Tesla factory workers make 24% to 47% more.

Yh this is why im hesitant to believe anything anyone says on twitter
Its easy for people to flippantly lie to prove a point
So his workers does have a unions?

Tesla doesn't have unions and Elon is vehemently against them. Yes---you are right to be distrusting of what people say on Twitter. Like blatantly saying un-unionized workers make more WITHOUT adjusting for cost living in the various states.

I cant comment, i have no idea of how they get paid
But if its more than someone working at mcdonalds then theyre probably doing alright
Espscially when we have companys like nike who pay the absolute minimum for children to make shoes
All about context
Again all of that is a nonsequitur. Your argument is basically they aren't literal slaves getting whipped, so what do they have to complain about? No job security? At least they aren't starving. No, collective rights? At least they aren't actually torturing them.
