It does seem like most studies show WFH workers being happier/healthier/more productive. Wouldn't necessarily take that as conclusive, but i've certainly not found much evidence beyond random anecdotes saying the opposite.

There is no way Elon doesn't know about this. I think for him, poor people should feel unhappy. He feels it immoral for poor people to be happy and content.

I think it's been shown to increase isolation. The number of young people going days without seeing another human being should startle and upset.

Young people all have 6 roommates with somebody turning the living room into an extra bedroom because rents are too high.

The isolation of being at home is countered by how many people are at home

That number has little to do with WHF. WHF might have increased it but it certainly isn't the root cause or even a major driver of the rise.

It's hard to decouple this phenomenon from the aftereffects of COVID restrictions. We'll be able to figure the isolation from WFH in the next few years.
