    "Tesla, which is known for its higher-than-average hourly wages, said if the claims against its contractors are true, they are "totally unacceptable."

    "Assuming the article is correct, we need to do right by Mr. Lesnik and his colleagues from Vuzem," Tesla wrote on Monday. "This is not a legal issue, it is a moral issue."

    I like the fact that Tesla is taking responsibility even though they may not be legally liable is admirable. That's a good company who wants to do the moral thing.

    Here is Trumps approach in regard to foreign workers:

    What a difference.

    The irony is that Elon Musk is known to be really hard on employees, expecting the same evangelical fervor from them about his companies that he has.

    I don't know that much about Elon Musk to comment intelligently. It does appear that this evangelical actually practices what he preaches in so far as "morality", or what is preached upon at his church. I am glad to see that. I wish we had more companies like this around. It is possible to make a profit, and treat your workers fairly. Good socially responsible company.
