That's whatever to Joe public, but horrible for those workers and their financial security during the holiday season. He makes a lot of snap hiring/firing decisions which are funny for meme'ing woke Twitter employees but not fun if you're the person getting fired, laid off or losing work hours suddenly.

I like a lot of things Musk does, but you can also look at it critically and know that he wouldn't be good for labor in general in a lot of industries.
If you work for Musk do your job and all is well.

He won't affect the airline industry even the tiniest bit. Unions are protected by law and to even mention as being a threat is laughable at best.

Now for over 75% of Federal workers that run DC from their living room except a one day office visit a MONTH ? All on our dime via taxes ? Yeah they are in real jeopardy and they should have been fired a long time ago.
