The populist wing of the GOP only found their voice after the Bush Banker Bailout. And how did corporate America reward them. We need a third party.

Kudos to Mr. Z for reporting this story that Space News hasn’t even touched.

The same way that you know that they do have a crippled child. Why should the insurance policy for a large corporation be so much different than for a small Mom & Pop? And why shouldn’t Pop need to stand up, too?

Meanwhile, you have missed the point: if you set up an incentive for people to injure themselves on the job, you should expect a lot of injuries.

How do you know insurance is not paying for everything?
How do you know Elon is not picking up the extra not covered by insurance?
As for handing over cash to the family. He HAS to wait for the state to make any final decisions. He also has to wait for the medical condition to work its way to an end. No matter what that is. If he pays a few million now and the guy makes a full recovery how is Elon going to get his cash back? Will Elon even then hire the guy back?

Well, I’d wager a number of Greek children are named from the Greek alphabet. Maybe Musk is showing off his multi-culti chops.

I say this with love-mind you:
Something about Elon is bad off. I hear he wants to name his next kid after a Covid variant.

This is why I still root for Old Space…in case Tony Stark goes Howard Hughes on us. Maybe get a pastor friend to be Nathan to his David-and keep legal fighting ESG fools-not hurting families.

I don’t think you thought that through. I would love to work for your company, because if I hurt myself then I, my wife, and my children would never have to work again, and we all would live off your corporate welfare, playing X-Box all day long. This is encouragement to be less than safe at work. Plus, it removes the natural limits of the size of my family and the sizes of my children’s families. As well as the families of all the others who hurt themselves while working for you.

Where should I send my resumé?

Like many other businessmen-Elon views staff as a problem-not a resource.

I have no opinion on whether Musk gives Starlink use to Ukraine or not. Not our people.

This engineer IS your people, Elon…and for his wife to have to set up a Go-Fund Me says a lot about about Musk’s character, or lack thereof.
A head injury is worse than the shattered ankle from Boeing’s accident-but I say SpaceX and Boeing are neck and neck in disregard for their workers.
If it were me, I’d make sure that family never would have to work again for two generations.
But I’m not an aspie multi-billionaire business man: I’m a human being.
