He's burned the bridge with the far left, and has won some support from the right. Tesla has never been a good workplace (low pay, long hours) and their cars have been passable at best for the price they ask (low range, surveillance, poor service). Musk has always been a dick, and it's hardly a privilige to work for him - that hasn't changed. What's changed is how the leftist media talks about him: if a few years ago they praised his vision on the great green future, now they're shittalking about him at every opportunity. I'm really curious what the outcome of this battle will be: the richest man in the US vs the angry and powerful leftists.
