Dude must be really desperate for some revenue. I see no chance of this backfiring. Also apparently employees were summoned in via sms rather than email probaby to reduce teh paper trail.

Dumb question, but why is this fundamentally a rightwing worldview? It's it because of the belief of individual great men changing the world, rather than the shared work of society, or as a whole?

How does that relate to being right wing - because it's individualistic?

I seem to have lost what the basic idea of left and right wing is these days.
a core principle of rightwingers and liberalism is that the masses should be ruled by their betters. in the case of liberalism, it's that employers should make all the important decisions about allocating resources and the employees should abide by them.

the Great Man theory goes hand in hand with this philosophy.

some people define leftwing/rightwing as whether or not someone believes there should be democracy in important institutions like where people work

grimes loving sucks. they deserve each other. also he didn’t throw her under the bus he said she contributed the x æ part which while insanely stupid is at least a pronounceable name that is in line with her type of stupid. he proudly contributed the a-12 part which is the worst part of the name.

also I just realized x æ could be pronounced as cash, lol

It's a stupid name from two stupid people, neither of whom should be defended.

Imagine not being embarrassed by your association with that.

it is a bad name but he's a lovely partner to publicly throw her under the bus like that

especially when he's to blame for the worst part of it and he's happy to talk about how fully sick that bit is

Also, it's only pronounced "Ash" according to Musk. Directly contradicting her explanation.

Per Grimes it is her "elven spelling of Ai (love&/or Artificial intelligence)."

If she were to say "my elven spelling of Jessica" you would pronounce it Jessica, not Ash.

Hypothesis: Grimes played incredibly horny visual novel AI: The Somnium Files and learned about the double meaning of "Ai" from there.

there's literally nothing you can do if the workers are willing to throw themselves off a cliff for him and he's meanwhile nowhere to be found

lying to each half of his factory that he's currently visiting the other half, and yes some of the managers swear they saw him
