Elon Musk: Working from home is 'morally wrong'

I'm a truck driver and obviously I can't work from home, But if you're in a occupation that can work from home I 100% support it. Traffic on the freeways is complete disaster, the more people that can work from home the better. Let's keep the highways open for people that have to actually go into work and can't stay home.
Yeah, but your truck is a second home. 😉😀
@@davide724 technically you're right. But I hate traffic so let's keep office workers at home lol
Well said and good logic. Elon is off base. It could be a bad decision for some people, but that is totally a personal understanding of what is good for your lifestyle. Individuals should use their own wisdom and descretion, not a one size fits all rational from Elon.
As long as the productivity stays the same
Yes I agree one hundred percent it depends on what industry you're in I'm a Wholesale Distributor my work-from-home I do mostly all shipping I live in Southern California the freeways are mess there's no point of me driving around I don't have to
As a construction worker who has to travel home from boston everyday, i say work remote if you can! The more people working from home the less traffic i have to sit in😂
I agree with you.. I work for the laborers union. Are you in the union?. We all say the same thing. It was much better during the days of covid when there was nobody on the road but the traffic is starting picking up again😂
That's true though. Why should a bunch of people who do office work have to pollute the air and wear down the roadways every day? It doesn't make sense. In fact it's a huge bonus to companies to reduce their fixed costs and downsize office space. Make the remote workers use their own toilet paper and their own utilities too. The remote workers save on gas too.
FAB FILM
:-D
TRUE SCIENCE FACT MY DUDE.
You know what's morally wrong? To sit in traffic for 2 hours a day. That's 10 hours a week wasted.
Thanks to y'all peasants voting for R and D politicians who rather steal millions $ than invest in an outstanding public transportation, taking care of mental health issues, etc, but they just pocket all the $ they can, all still take advantage of the taxes loopholes including Trump who obviously didn't change it.
In the end, both R and D are the same thing pretty much, and they both do an amazing job at splitting the peasants so they can all keep getting extremely rich.

What if you die when teleported and someone who looks and acts exactly like you, with the same memories and stuff, gets re-created there? Teleportation is scary stuff man.
I was thinking the same thing. If you go to work just to sit at a computer or at the phones it's wasted time, energy and more traffic when it's not necessary. Also if you have kids or elderly to care for it's invaluable. I usually agree with Elon though.
And 16 hours of pollution produced
Yeah CEOs are "morally wrong" for making 10,000x more than a typical employee....
Yeah. That.
It is not a problem, they are leaders but yes think about it he is right
You're just mad that the richest man in the world busts his ass working every day and your poor and lazy.
@@TOP_G11122 just that they are leaders does not mean the gap should be this big. The reality is that the top 0.1% are getting way too much of the pie, while the bottom 90% are left sharing a sin gle crumb
🔥🔥 Let me tell you what's morally wrong, there are construction workers, sewerage cleaners, delivery agents, street cleaners who can't sit in the AC offices, but there are laptop corporates who wants to sit in AC's in offices... To be morally right, We need to get all the laptop workers and corporates to sit and work on the streets and in the construction sites. That's how you make a level playing field.. right???
I have a better solution, compensate the people who work outdoors with the same pay as laptop workers.. laptop workers have the benefit of comfort, and outdoor workers have the benefit of equal pay.. no one loses..
I believe a lot of ultra wealthy people become out of touch with reality. He's saying "fair is fair" but it really doesn't make sense to have people commute to an office everyday for something that CAN be accomplished from home
its a car company, he can't afford people realizing they dont have to commute
Most people in the US are out of touch with reality that's why Russia invaded Ukraine because they knew the US is living in LALA land.
he's done more real, hard work than you ever have lol, shut up
That's because those that work at home don't have to be managed at work by a middling manager so if home workers are getting their work done then you won't need that middle layer of management...that's a great way to save company money.... YOUR 🔥 Fired!!

Well to be fair, he didn't say his workers need to drive to work. They can uber, bike, or take public transportation.

Lol. Clueless.
Nah he is extremely hardworking person and I understand the premise, but it’s not like I do it because it’s under me to go somewhere or I am lazy, I just make more money this way, at this point in my life.
Drive to work, sit in traffic for 2 hours, pull out your laptop and sit at a desk.
Or take a goddamn train. Laptop workers usually live in developed countries. Most of the time ,public transportation shouldnt be an issue.

I work way more hours working from home than i ever did at the office. Most of my teammates would agree
Not attending sick people and leaving children alone at home is morally wrong too.
The FMLA exists for exactly reason and many employers allow the use of a sick day for attending to your family. Your confusing this with Remote work policy, which is a privilege, not a right. And yes, I’m afforded this perk 3x a week, but If my employer changed their policy I’d be in the office all days without any pushback.
He’s got 10 kids with 3 different women, you really think he cares about parents being home with their children? He’s a deadbeat dad.
@@whitb62 that’s an odd take. His inability to fulfill his fatherly responsibilities shouldn’t be any concern for anyone besides himself, his children and the mothers of these children. Irregardless of his personal actions, working from home is a nice perk for some, but it’s not a right. Sick leave, and time off to care for a family member offers rules and protections as it’s an unrelated topic.
This is how the elites put one group against another.
For real. Calling us the "laptop class" in order to put blue collar workers against us, as if we're the ones putting 99 cents of every dollar they make for the company in our pockets. We're in the same crappy situation as them, we're just slightly better off.

By that logic, none of us should work in an office either- the people who built it worked outside in the heat, so we should too
A friend of mine works in a prison. We should all work around dangerous inmates because he’s forced to do so.
The people who ran plumbing for the building had to work in the sewer. All office cubicles, laptop equipment, & rolley chairs.. to the sewer!! 😂

Yeah agree ....totally nonsense.. we have showers Africans don't.... moral issue.... we go to office by car, people in africa go walking.... another moral issue... you are a millionare runing a company that produce car who exploits african miners... we are not... moral issue
@@user-bh5in4xf3q To be fair, Elon is African American.
And if he is taking advantage of African Miners, I'm just saying Africans were the ones who started slavery, one of the few exports they ever had.
On a more serious note, he actually used to sleep in his office instead of going home when things were starting up at Tesla.
What’s morally wrong is a guy that has never been broke or lived like a lot of us that do manage to get a job and you can work from home with that job as well is a blessing for a lot of single parents who can’t afford babysitters and that really helps them a lot.
Or the fact that he's the CEO of 6 companies. You're telling me he can jet set all over the country, run 6 companies and never works remotely?
Whatever makes you cope and feel like a loser bud.
@@2grown4 Does no one remember that when he started his first business, that he didn’t have a home? He slept at the business, and showered at a local Y. So yes, he did live like a lot of people. He just didn’t let that stop him. He didn’t use it as an excuse to not advance in life.

The guy who built his own tunnels because he hates traffic telling everyone to wait in traffic thats perfect
He builds tunnels so that the traffic is more fluid. His tunnels will allow for less time spent in traffic. Also he never said to wait in traffic; now THAT is perfect
So he’s trying to find more efficient methods for people who do leave the house to be productive? Also, does anyone enjoy sitting in traffic?
@@1chasehayez the best way to reduce traffic is to allow employees to work from home
@@mushylog tunnels eventually become congested speed limit would be 50mph people tend to drive even slower than that in tunnels. A mile of tunnels costs over a billion dollars compared to $900,000 for conventional roads. Tunnels would be much better used for subway railways than single person vehicles
@@joakos1122
Bro bro,
The tunnels he’s speaking of are these magnetic levitation capsules that travel at bullet train speeds
I can’t work from home in my job but I’ve got no issue with anyone that can. As long as you can be productive, working from home will give you a much better quality of life, no travelling, can cook a healthy meal, on your lunch break you can put the washing on or do the dishes. I see way more positives than negatives to it.
It gets abused by some people for sure. BUT i remember working onsite and theres PLENTY of time being wasted there too lol.
the problem is for some jobs technically yes you can absolutely work from home but in reality it makes the work much less efficient. it probably does provide many benefits that make your non work life better but it will make your work worse. of course many people only talk about how it makes it better for the non work part and refuse to admit there's a downside for the actual work aspect.
@chochooshoe it depends on the person. If they are a responsible, accountable person, their work doesn't suffer. Also management makes a big difference. I have quotas I have to meet everyday. My managers are more concerned about getting my tasks done, rather than being glued to my desk. Depends on the type of job. Pros and cons all the way around work from home vs on site.
this is like having some nobleman lecturing peasants on the morality of some working in a shop while others toil in the fields. Just downright stupid.
How on earth is that a reasonable comparison?!😂
Yeah noblemen were’t nearly as rich
Hey Elon, ever heard of the management iceberg? No? Not surprised.
Sorry Elon, but your front-line employees see 100% of the problems. Top management only sees the 3% above the surface.

I sometimes work on location with clients. I can confirm that working from home is a LOT more productive.
I think some people thrive working onsite, and some thrive working from home. I prefer working from home, but if my line of work required me to work onsite, then so be it. No ill will either way
@@davidfoote696 Difference between your line of work requiring it and your boomer boss requiring it. Certain jobs (currently) need to be done in person, like surgeons, nurses, grocery store clerks, food service, hairstylists, etc. With current technology there's no getting around that.
Any job that can be done entirely on a computer/phone, there is absolutely zero reason to require in office work. Anyone who disagrees with that is coping or has a vested interest in office work. Muskrat here obviously is a car salesman and wants everyone driving. But there's also a lot of money to be lost in urban office real estate if that becomes worthless, and wealthy owners don't want that. Micro-managing middle management types also become less relevant when performance can still be tracked remotely, so there's a whole subset of careers that are threatened by WFH, too. Neither are valid arguments against WFH, though.
@@davidfoote696 big difference between working from office because its actually required. and working from office because "my commercial realestate market"
As someone who works in a factory, WHO CARES?? If people can work from home, let them.
You are so right
What do u do at the factory?
If everyone does how do you get your Food>?
@HERO GAMES Well, that's why I said "IF people can"
Clearly, some jobs you can't work from home, including mine. But if someone just works in an office, I don't really care if they work from home or not.
Obviously you did

well said lolol
A man who starts a company based on reducing carbon emissions is against working from home.. FFS
He slept in the fsctory
Yeah if everyone worked from home less people might buy his cars to commute to work.
Lol great point
As long as productivity is good, working from home is also good, especially for reducing pollution!!
Well thats exactly the issue. Productivity in 80% of the population goes down drasticly at home.
There is a saying Good wants more.
If you give them home office, now suddenly they are entitled to walk with the dog, now suddenly they can take more breaks, cause the boss aint here ect.
And thags not really fair to the empleyer

High five 🖐🏼 for reading through the smoke. Elon! We love you… that doesn’t mean we believe everything that comes out your mouth🤭
Oooh I get it now.
Yes I see it more as business issue for him 🤣
Then it’s also morally wrong for someone to have a job indoors while other people have to work outside. Let’s all sit in the mud together laptop or shovel so we can all be equal.
Exactly !! Sorry but that sentense what Elons said just say idiots
So how tf am I gonna account for a company going bankrupt before it happens using a shovel outside 😂
Love this! 😂😂😂😂 😂 Correct
That's a bit of a stretch bud.
You can change your job if you don't wanna work in the mud. You're talking about occupation, musk is talking about being cozy at home while working vs anywhere but home.
That, and also make everyone work night shifts, just so it’s fair.
Rich men know nothing about our struggles.

I used to drive 4-5 hours a day, 3 days a week. Now work from home. In the future people will look back and say, you drive 2-3 hrs to get to work in traffic, to open a laptop 💻 that you could open at home 🏠 madness
Exactly this. I work a hybrid schedule and the days when I have to drive to work, I would waste one hour driving to work and two hours sitting in traffic on the way back home. That's three hours a day wasted sitting in traffic.
Sorry Elon, that's the stupidest argument against WFH I ever heard.
Outside of my own WFH job, I have other WFH jobs too, and they are 1) fixing my own car, 2) fixing my own plumbing 3) cutting my own lawn, etc.
Easily the stupidest argument. Makes zero sense

Because if they did, well they wouldn’t be average now would they?
Of course he's against that. Employees who work in-person are easier to control and monitor. Less autonomy for the individual, more corporate oversight
If you're satisfied having a job, then you don't value autonomy.
As they should. Workers should be controlled. They’re being paid. What? This is why China is doing so well and us entitled, lazy, soft fools are not

It's not a moral issue. He is wrong here.
Just rewatching the clip, it looks more like he's arguing against the people that consider 'work from home' as a moral/rights issue.
The message seems to be more of 'get off your high horse' than 'everyone should stop working from home'.
@@TheWolfnman My point is that his argument is neither sound nor valid.
A coder can work from anywhere due to the nature of the work. A plumber can't, due to the nature of the work. Therefore the work necessitates location.
This has nothing to do with morality, that's simply absurd.
He seems to be mixing up multiple things, like 'equality', 'choice' and 'necessity'.
This snippet has been all but ignored by media, MSM and alternate alike. For good reason.
@@RhetoricalMuse
I'd agree it's not a very sound counter-argument.
But from what I understand, he's arguing against people who consider work from home as something moral, or a 'right that evil companies are denying people'.
Which is not a very convincing argument to begin with.
I'm thinking about the context of what he's saying rather than the accuracy of either side's points.
@@TheWolfnman
*he's arguing against people who consider work from home as something moral*
No, this wasn't said or insinuated. Furthermore, the premise that working form home is 'moral' is absurd initself. No one has made this claim, or would.
*'right that evil companies are denying people'*
This isn't related to anything he said in this clip. He is saying :
'it is immoral for front line staff and mind workers to not have the same time spent in the workplace'.
This is insane. It's not even a coherant argument.

A plumber is not a mind worker, nor is a nurse. A coder is however, as is a policy advisor.
Funnily enough some jobs that require a high education and result in a high salary require in-person contact. Examples: G.P, engineer. Even these jobs are becoming at least semi-online.

Elon usually seems like a pretty smart guy, but this is just plain stupid.
Or is it by letting people to think he is stupid that he acts as a smart guy?
He just wants his car sales to continue. Working from home obviously affects that negatively. So...
Key word is seems
@@lasku0007 Do you use your car only to go to work?
When you work at home, you can use less time for it (because of not having to drive back and forth to any workplace) so, it gives you more time to drive to a nearby forest, lake, gym, etc for your hobby...
So, your logic is invalid.
BTW, Elon Musk didn't say that working home is a moral issue; he said that asking people not to work at home when you personally do it is a moral issue.

@@jaredweiman2987 sarcasm..
My productivity as an IT worker is far higher and more efficient use of time working from home rather than spending 3 hrs everyday commuting to work. Rich people like Musk who doesn't need to spend time on childcare, doing the school rounds, commuting on public transport, spending a quarter of wages on travel not to mention the lost time can talk off their backside about moral issues but in reality for many modern office workers going to the office everyday is a huge drain both physically and on the wallet.
He doesn't care, just trying to pit us against each other with irrational reasoning and appeals to emotion, a race to the bottom where he stands to make more money and exert more control. People like Elon praise equality and morals, while internally viewing almost everyone else as mindless grunts in need of an overseer. It's funny that he's factually incorrect more times than not, talk comes cheap to this guy. The 8/9 hour day is pretty much stretched to the limit of sane existence for the majority of people, add the commute and personal maintenance and you're left with almost nothing. Thank god for weekends - how about some team building?
And of course you charge for the benefit of the additional hours worked. if that's the case
He's not talking about the jobs that can be done from a computer okay whether that computer sits in a cubicle at work or sitting at home That's not the jobs he's talking about The laptop class that he mentions okay is not the IT class all right IT has always had to answer phone calls to tell people to turn it off and turn back on and they can do that at home or you know in a cubicle That's not what he's talking about
People need to work locally. We were at a factory and none of the people were local. Corporations talk about building local jobs and instead there's all kinds of labor staff agencies that rotate illegal foreign workers and these same agencies take part of the employees salary and these corporations get away with paying less than minimum wage.
Yes yes yes. Commute and useless interruptions at work a total time waste.
I couldn’t disagree more. Since working from home, I’m way more productive at work, I have more $ in my pocket, more time with family, I’m healthier, happier and have more energy…my company saves on office space and I’m not polluting the environment. It’s a win win all the way around.

If you can work from home do it! Our streets and roads need emergency services and delivery people to be priority. Car accidents are of epic proportions. It is from overpopulation overcrowding.
Plus if you work from home you can move out of the crowded places and help the small towns that are struggling to keep businesses going. We moved to a town with less than 1000 people because my husband can telework. There are remote parts of this country that have great internet connections.

Employers should pay us more if they require in-person work that can easily be done at home.

If its morally wrong for people to make career decisions that enable them to work from home because it is "unfair" to the people who choose a blue collar job. Then it is morally wrong for you to be filthy rich because its unfair that we arnt filthy rich because we chose a different path in life. There is no difference.

I totally understand this comment.
I totally and fundamentally disagree. I am more productive at home, not having to put up with all the chit chat and nonsense that goes on in an office.
100% agree!
He literally said there are exceptions. A lot of office jobs, that might be the case. Different occupations have different circumstances, some are more prone to toxic workplace cultures.
I think Elon has a point. At this current time the world is very much run by people doing jobs away from home. Without it civilisation collapses. So that reality that most people have to live by should be respected. Not that people can’t work from home, they can, but 99% can’t so it’s worth remembering that.
If working from home isn't moral, then working in an office probably isn't either. I can take an extra hour from lunch, talk to co-workers, and take toilet breaks whenever I want. I know for most that drive a truck or work in a car factory, that isn't the case.
@edster0398 not sure why I should feel bad for a job you chose when I have the skills to make multiple times more than them from home because I'm skilled.
Those same people probably don't want to pay taxes and politically don't help others ans generally selfish. Not sure why I should care about some entitled losers who feel entitled to bring me down because they're jealous?

@@user-gt6hx8eo5zmost reasonable commuting distance in the US is considered 60 miles which is about a 1 hr commute.

Some have to use the office so that customers aren't visiting employee homes. Some jobs only exist in the field. And some jobs can only be done with the employee's presence at the company to perform manual labor.

It takes a well-disciplined person to work from home and get the job done. Many people have been running business from home for years. There is nothing wrong with that. I have a niece who went to college to become a medical transitionist. She is dedicated and stays on her schedule making good money from home.
@@artgalleryandcraftsbydeb9135people do get a choice. What Elon is referring to are the people now demanding the job cater to them. He said there are exceptions, but everyone wants to be the exception and that doesn't work.

He’s got ulterior motives in what he’s saying. Which is probably true 90 percent of the time when any billionaire speaks
He is right. Those who want to work from home merely want to exploit coworkers and their boss. Anyone who has his own business or works alone, knows that when you work this way productivity is reduced. Writers, accountants, programmers, lawyers can all work from home when they will work alone anyway, but nobody does it. They all go to their office. Even those who live alone take the time to go to their office.
