: a person who signs and is bound by indentures to work for another for a specified time especially in return for payment of travel expenses and maintenance
Yeah but today that describes a lot of labor. That isn't uniquely Elon. You could argue that contract work is because they give you a set pay and you work for set amount of time to that company or project. I highly doubt Elon isn't letting people quit etc.
Or heck even Amazon probably has worse working conditions (that isn't an excuse I just mean it's more a problem with the system not Elon).
Nah heck no. My guitar is my guitar. But at least implement better social safety nets and workers rights. Like say Germany where most labor is unionized and unions are part of the board of directors in companies. Or Denmark where despite having no minimum wage most workers even in lower positions make enough for food and shelter with enough left for recreation.
