Elon Musk says Americans 'are trying to avoid going to work at all,' unlike Chinese workers who 'will be burning the 3 a.m. oil'

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, said he expects China to produce "some very strong companies" because of the country's workforce.

"They won't just be burning the midnight oil. They will be burning the 3 a.m. oil," he continued. "They won't even leave the factory type of thing, whereas in America people are trying to avoid going to work at all."

Last month, workers at Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory were required to sleep at the facility as production resumed following a three-week shutdown, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. A memo, which Bloomberg reported, indicated that each worker would be provided with a sleeping bag and an air mattress and expected to work 12-hour shifts with one day off per week.

But workplace tides may be shifting in China after tech workers there protested the "996" schedule that had many working 72 hours per week, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. for six days.

1. But but but Elon Musk doesn't even own a home, poor poor baby

Always having to beg his friends to sleep on their couch.

Again poor poor thing.

Oh and f'u Elon Musk. Am I allowed to say go back to Africa?

3. Your thread title is perfect. That's exactly who Elon Musk is.

It's getting to the point where, if Tesla and SpaceX want to survive, they'll have to call security to escort Musk out the door, not even giving him the opportunity to clean out his desk.

And they probably should call the police to meet him out in the parking lot as well.

5. Truly an idiot, long hours result in lower total output

but he doesn't care.

One study from Stanford University, however, debunks that belief. In his research, economics professor John Pencavel found that productivity per hour decline sharply when a person works more than 50 hours a week. After 55 hours, productivity drops so much that putting in any more hours would be pointless. And, those who work up to 70 hours a week are only getting the same amount of work done as those who put in the 55 hours.

This isn't a new finding. During WW2, the British kept careful track of productivity and found the peak output was about 56 hours per week.
I think most of us who have had to accomplish a measurable output on a job know that more hours don't always equal more output. There is a reason why laws restrict the hours of truckers and pilots.
Musk is scum. There is no way I would buy a Tesla as long as he controls the company.

7. The things you say when you don't know that many Chinese workers have been trapped in

their homes during the current Covid lockdown. He hated California's Covid rules, but they were mild by Chinese standards.
