Think about the quality of life you could give your workers if you took even ONE billion of that and split it across the 140K employees Tesla has.

Every single employee could get a ~$7000 bonus.

I don't know why Elon thinks he needs 56B. If he only gets 20B, that'd be $250K per employee.

Why are you hypothesising 140000 Tesla workers taking 36 billion dollars off a billionaire?

Because I like to imagine the world as a better place.

You bastard! Won’t someone think of the billionaires?!?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The ones who would still be billionaires afterward, or the ones who would still be multibillionaires?

Have you seen how much it costs to bribe St. Peter to let you past these days?

[–] SuckMyWang@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

Wrong. A select group taking all that money is just as bad as 1 person taking it

Are you referring to the 10K workers that are being laid off?

Needs the money because Tesla is going down hard.
