      Iain Banks was an ardent trade unionist, @Elonmuskhttps://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1008120904759402501 …

      Iain certainly wasn’t pro-union in the Culture books. At all. And wouldn’t be in the case of Tesla. Banks was about freedom through & through. Maybe for a single buyer (monopsony) vs single seller (monopoly), I would be too, but that’s a special case.

      Replying to @elonmusk

      Banks consistently endorsed the freedom of workers to form collective bargaining units. The existence of a thought experiments in which this was obviated by eg FTL is by no means an indication that a marginal improvement in EV tech would have turned him into a strikebreaker

      Not saying this invalidates your point, but come on, “marginal improvement in EV tech” doesn’t seem like a fair assessment of Tesla.

      Replying to @sahazel @elonmusk

      If we're talking about the space between the pre-Tesla electric car and the Culture (GAI, FTL, one trillion people living in space habitats spread across interstellar distances), I think "marginal" is probably pretty generous.

          For a guy who's lamented (in the past 30 minutes!) the lack of civility in this thread... ...oh, never mind.

          Mr Musk don't feed the trolls, they get bigger and bigger. Folks don't and wont understand your struggles and hardship. Easy for others to criticize those who are building something. Where were these guys when NUMMI went bankrupt.

          What is the carbon output of a rocket launch and compare that number to the output in number of 30 mph cars. Thx $TSLA
