      If you burn down 10 cars at a tesla factory, doesn’t that just mean that they just sold 10 cars because i assume they are insured?

        Insurance can (and probavly will) increase prices if they’re more likely to be vandalized.

          And guess who’s gonna pay for this in the long run. Musk? Lol. No, the average tesla-worker-joe.

            I think it’s fair to say Musk already screws them to the maximum extent possible, so the degree to which they are screwed is probably not responsive to changes in insurance premiums and we can expect that to more or less come straight out of Musk’s pocket.

              There’s always more. And even, in the best case possible, he had to pay solely and completely alone, you really think he’d even notice? In the time I wrote this he made more.

                  The victims are those who want musk punished. Sadly those beyond ‘rich’ are basically untouchable. The minute you wrote this, musk made more than the insurance would raise. And even if he would not have, what would happen? If you had a million and I’d rob you of a fraction of a cent, how much would that affect you?

            I was under the impression that the company owner pays for insurance?

              I guess they’re saying the workers will get lower pay/ no raises because of the increased operational costs.

              My best guess would be that the customers will have to deal with higher prices, though.

                Both will, but sure as hell not musk. And even if he’d pay 1000x the cost, he wouldn’t even notice and still grin at this “rebellion”.
