    It’s almost as if the company is headed by a far-right whack job with a god complex. Nah, there’s no way that’s the case. Gotta be a small isolated problem that isn’t tacitly supported by every level of management.

      Unfortunately, this was going on long before Elon was courting the far/alt-right. The cases started years ago, when it came to light that Black workers were being sent to the “Plantation” lines, and other racist terms.

      Yes, the court cases are happening today. But that’s because US-law is so slow in practice. But Elon Musk has had racist-company for years. He did grow up in apartheid-era South Africa after all, so I’m guessing it just stuck with him.
