Musk has said he intends for there to be “loans available for those who don’t have money,” and jobs on the Red Planet for colonists to pay off their debts. Some critics say Musk’s plans resemble an interplanetary form of indentured servitude.
“I’m also just trying to make clear that I’m serious about this. And it’s not about personal consumption. Because people will attack me and say, oh, he’s got all these possessions,” Musk said. “OK, now I don’t have them anymore.”
But will he stop exploiting the labor of his workers? :doubt:
why would anyone care whether his assets are in the form of goods or converted to financial instruments?
Born too late to explore the world, born too early to take part in a glorious, Red Faction-style uprising on Mars with a magical building-killing sledgehammer :angery:
people need to play Bioshock
Agreed, although if Musk does succeed in making a Capitalist hellhole on Mars full of indentured servants people should also be playing Red Faction :red-fist:
Rick and Morty meme about that’s just slavery with extra steps
“Resembles” interplanetary indentured servitude? No it literally fucking is that.
Smugface: You are technically wrong, most are only indentured on one planet! This makes is not interlanetary indenture, but just one planet servitude :i-am-very-smart:
The Elon Challenge: if you can get yourself off of Mars, your debt is forgiven!
I can’t wait until this guy flames out
I can’t wait until the Tesla bubble finally pops. Although I guess in an economy flooded with free money for financial institutions, that won’t be as soon as I hope.
