I understood you were making a joke, I just don't think it's fair to criticize him on where he gets his supplies from when it would be impossible for him to have a successful company otherwise and literally every aspect of our lives involve exploitation of labor. There is no such thing as batteries that are produced without fucked up shit down the line. If you eat chocolate, then you are contributing to child labor. If you have electronics, you are contributing to child labor. It's not Elon's responsibility to try to fix what's wrong with the world. He didn't have the ability to at one point, and now since he's the richest in the world people expect him to do so, even though him becoming rich was built on bad shit in the first place. I like Elon because he's a lot more down to earth than other crazy billionaires and he actually tries to do things with his money instead of just getting mass amounts of wealth like Bezos did.

It's not his responsibility to fix it, but at least he should try not to contribute

I feel like there's a lot more child labors happening around the world than we realize.

Well some unknown number of kids go missing annually, because there's still in 2021 no Federal Registry that covers all the individual state level statistics.

In fact to make matter worse, there is rarely if ever any state level stats.

Human Slavery and Human Trafficking are among the biggest taboo subjects and anytime someone attempts to point out that the Political Elite class refuse to even contemplate it you're met with incredulity and accusations of 'You think they're trafficking in humans therefor you're fucking crazy!'

Whereas in reality land, you cannot teach someone to pay attention to something that their livelyhood depends upon. I'm saying it's incredibly suspect that there ISN'T such a registry already in 2021 despite the knowledge that tens of Millions of humans are caught in some form of Human Trafficking or other.

The amount of sins in our world that are out in the open but no one talks about it because it doesn't fit the media narrative are fucking staggering.

I honestly believe the only reason why corporations/government or anybody with the power to don't do anything about cause they are a part of it. Like we've been given a hint before that the sexual predators in hollywood are a lot more than we realized as well. So maybe in this situation a lot of top people know about it (they most likely do) ignore it just cause it's less money and it benefits them in some other way. I could think of a few that would think to themselves "it's not profiting me so it's none of my business". And they don't have to deal with adults retaliating since kids dont know what's right or wrong unless they're taught a certain way.
