It’s been making the rounds all day in the news. Obviously Musk’s perfect place would never be anywhere close to Austin, even the NeoLiberal city government doesn’t legally back slavery. So he’s bought property around Bastrop, a somewhat distant ‘burb with enough MAGA morons who have realized, Musk’s tunnel company is near. Translation, given the lazy-faire state gubmint, Musk and his lieutenants can poison the ground water with all the chemicals and waste they’ll dump digging a hole to nowhere.
Meanwhile, he wants to build a place for his Tesla employees that’s affordable. Anything to avoid paying competitive wages should they choose to live closer to Austin! For those of you who need a quick History refresher, Henry Ford (notorious Hitler fan) did something similar almost a century ago in Brazil. Short version…it didn’t go well for the employees. Let’s also not forget how Ford had his own goon squad barge into his people’s homes to make sure they were ‘moral.’ Musk isn’t any different and despite all his shit talk regarding California’s onerous laws, his engineering department will remain there. I wonder why?
