Three former SpaceX supervisors told Reuters that Musk would have machinery painted in industrial safety yellow repainted to black or blue because of he didn’t like how it looked. The ex-supervisors also said that some workers were told not to wear yellow safety vests when Musk was on site.

It says they couldn’t wear yellow safety vests, but I’m guessing, at least at first, that they didn’t have two colors of safety vest available for all employees.

And repainting machines unsafe colors because you don’t like yellow?

Just criminal assholeishness. If he wasn’t so rich, he would be charged with reckless endangerment.

    It’s baffling how one person can oversee so many companies. The U.S. seems lax when it comes to scrutinizing who’s fit to lead a company.

      It’s all the Invisible Hand of the MarketTM. It just so happens that the “hand” part is actually “money” and the “invisible” part is only if you’re willfully ignorant.

      And Elon has enough hands to fistfuck us all at once…or something. I lost the metaphor.

      I mean… Trump was president and he’s STILL not in jail.

      It is wholly accurate to leave it at, “The US doesn’t know how to scrutinize ‘leaders’.”
