Is Elon still as evil after today?

A source on that would be helpful because a lot of information

Tesla's impact report https://www.tesla.com/ns_videos/2024-ex ... report.pdf Pages 56 through 58 discuss water usage and how they aim to reduce it further.

The Del Valle factory doesn't even pay a lot if it's employees a living wage for the Austin area.

Del Valle would be freemont, Ca area though, right? why are you comparing their wages there to Austin? yet somehow with "low" wages they are still able to find people eager to work there, some people don't need to make "living wages" Whatever you want to define that as, sometimes that's a very inflated lifestyle. This is why many immigrants are able to come here and take jobs, because their lifestyle is not nearly as inflated as many Americans are.

Just remember at the end of that video they also said this was happening from Apple too.

At a tenth of absolute scale (in the text version below, I even find it at 1/20th, comparing Apple's total with Tesla in Texas only), while Apple has roughly 4x the yearly revenue than Tesla (currently. The factor was even higher in the past). So relatively, Tesla is at least 40 times worse than Apple there.

This is actually interesting, why would you compare revenue for that number, especially where this this 10% was isolated to just Texas cases, A much better comparison would be total amount invested in the last few years in Texas, by both companies. What apple has done in Texas over the last 2 years is about 1/8th of what Tesla has, so it would be fair to say apple should have about 12.5% the amount cases as Tesla has cases for. IMO from that there is no difference between what Elon is doing at Tesla as to what Cook is doing with Apple. It likely falls into something the contractor is doing wrong according to contract, or the contractor not fully understanding the terms of the contract. The CNN hit piece you linked is behind a pay wall in the US, so I cannot read it, I don't want to pay them for writing misleading articles.

No. It's in the Austin area, Travis county. No surprise another right winger doesn't understand geography.

Thanks, but I'm looking for something better than "trust me, bro". The city of Austin has denied requests for this information and they certainly have it since your water usage and mine are recorded by our respective cities. You wouldn't know this, but Del Valle has water problems. My friends that live there buy all their water from the store since the local water supply needs help. The local community outreach group wanted to make sure Tesla didn't make the problem worse and as of today they certainly didn't make it better. Also...

Del Valle would be freemont, Ca area though, right?

Wrong. Don't get triggered by a Spanish sounding name and immediately think of California. Both California and Texas are Spanish colonies and Spanish speaking families have lived there before either of those places were states. And having lived in both places for years I'll have you know they are way more similar than different. Aside from that, all wages should be living wages. People died for the right to work 40 hours a week and make enough to have a family. Any company that doesn't contribute to the prosperity of their employees is un-American. Tesla isn't meeting that standard in Del Valle. If you don't know what a living wage it, ask Grok.
