    “No, of course it’s a joke about them sleeping on the floor. We will provide Tesla-branded housing onsite, and with the added convenience of the Tesla store and the workers being paid in Teslabux to pay me back for the room and board, they’ll always be ready to do my bidding.”

      I know you are joking, but this asshole’s parents were legit in the business of running company towns for mining and exploiting human labor. Just shy of slavery because it was technically legal, but a loophole that allowed them to get rich by taking advantage of people desperate for work. Real pieces of shit in this family.
