Elon Musk's Ex Justine Shares Sweet Family Chat After Their Child Says She Doesn't 'Wish to Be Related' to Dad

Justine Musk is supporting her children as one of her 18-year-olds said she no longer wishes to be related to father Elon Musk

"'I had a weird childhood,' my 18 year old said to me. 'I can't believe I'm as normal-seeming as I am,'" Justine wrote on Monday, the same day that news of the court documents began circulating.

The mom tweeted that she told her child, "I'm very proud of you," to which the teen replied, "I'm proud of myself!"

You are entitled to your opinion as is everyone. There are obviously many people that do want to work at Tesla. Just like any company some like it some don't. Those that don't are free to leave as they see fit.

I thought the company was supposed to change to make the employee feel better about it's job?

If a company expects to retain talent and keep employees productive, then changing may be in the cards.

not sure what your post here is really getting at, but I won’t hold my breath waiting for yet another uninformed opinion from you

Why do Teslas only have one gear?

You know it's kind of funny I was considering buying a Tesla this year but after musk's accumulating blunders a little whilst back decided to just wait for some of the cheaper electric cars coming out by other manufacturers. Just hard to consider myself putting money into that assholes pocket.

Yeah, I think F150 Lightning and Hyundai Ioniq 5 are pretty nice alternatives.

Tesla laid off 500 people. How many of those were gay?

edit: It seems out of 500 people a few were likely LGBTQ, no?
Click to expand...
that's not the relevant question. The relievent question is how many know gays work for Tesla, and how many are part of the layoff? If it's only 1% of the 500, but the majority or 100% of the gays who work(ed) at Tesla what does that say? Considering we already know that two of them are high profile in the LBGTQ says lot already.

Other big corps play the same game with older employees as well. Cut mostly older employees but throw in a couple sacrificial younger person as well, just for the legal defense

Elon is catering to his own right-wing decay, and probably a bit to Texas, but it's mostly just inside him.

The problem is he's not selling Goya beans, a lot of his clientele are left leaning environmentalists. Sure not everyone that wants an electric car is a liberal, but they are an outsized part of his customer base.

I don't see any redneck giving up there gas trucks for electric Cyber truck anytime soon

That is what makes it a hard hill to climb trying to prove age or sexual orientation or ... discrimination.

correct, corps have long been wise enough to wink wink nod nod their way thru discrimination. Some lawsuits succeed, others won’t.

the right to fire people in states like Texas is ez on big corps, IMOv it’s one of the main reasons businesses want to go there

Freedom to work in a way that's most beneficial to both parties is certainly a workers rights issue. I seem to recall this whole group of people that used to argue for it, some kind of union of individuals iirc.

I agree it is an Issue. It still isn't a right. If the boss says you have to be in the office to work then there it is. Don't like it you are free to quit.

I'm not getting into the Union issue can of worms. But I guess they can form a union and press Musk to bend to their desires.
