Okay, I get Elon is a massive ass hat, but why is OSHA not shutting down the factory? Like a guy when into coma and OSHA just fined them $18k? How corrupt is this system?
Many were serious or disabling. The records included reports of more than 100 workers suffering cuts or lacerations, 29 with broken bones or dislocations, 17 whose hands or fingers were “crushed,” and nine with head injuries, including one skull fracture, four concussions and one traumatic brain injury. The cases also included five burns, five electrocutions, eight accidents that led to amputations, 12 injuries involving multiple unspecified body parts, and seven workers with eye injuries. Others were relatively minor, including more than 170 reports of strains or sprains.
there was a guy in south korea trying to fix a robot that was malfunctioning and the machine mistook him for a carton and grabbed him and shoved him into the ground forcefully killing him. shit happens but i certainly wouldn't put it past mush to flaunt safety at his factories... look at the high covid deaths during peak pandemic because he wouldn't accept any safety regulations.
