10. Headline is misleading. He is only doing it for his employees, which saves him money.

This bit of largesse obviously helps his bottom line. It costs a lot more to pay for an employee's child birth than her abortion.

When I read that headline, I thought it meant he set up an abortion travel fund for all women in the US, particularly poor ones who really need it. It you're working at Tesla in Texas, you can probably afford a plane ticket to California. Of course, if he hadn't moved his factory to Texas, his employees would still be in California.
