but his company doesn't pay federal taxes in the US and that pisses me off. That and his company doesn't contribute any matching funds to his employees 401K's and he's forced employees to take pay cuts if Tesla's stock prices fall. I have a small business and I contribute the maximum allowed to my employees 401K's. When business is slow, I would never in a million years dock my employees. That's not how to treat people.
