My response to a letter in SCMP, link below :
Gleb Tsipursky: you say Musk is a leap into the past? Because you don't like his views on staff actually turning up to the office?
This Musk, a man who has created a space rocket company, who dreams of Homo sapiens being multi-planetary; who has built the largest and best electric car company in the world; who founded Boring Co to make tunnels for future underground travel; who owns the Neuralink a company to interface the human brain with computers; who bought Twitter to enlarge the space for free speech -- and THIS is the man you chose to vilify?? Because he expects his staff to appear in the office, each workaday morning? Get a grip, man.
If it's a choice between a "Disaster consultant" and an entrepreneur employing hundreds of thousands in cutting edge jobs, I go with the latter. If Elon expects his staff to be at their desk during office hours, they better be there. No matter what a Disaster Avoidance guy thinks!
Later:
Above didn’t appear, got moderated out of existence. So I edited and reposted just now (4:55PM 25 May):

Because you don't like his views on staff actually turning up to the office? Musk has created a space rocket company; he dreams of Homo sapiens being multi-planetary species; he has built the largest electric car company in the world; he founded Boring Co to make tunnels for future underground travel; he owns Neuralink a company to interface the human brain with computers; he bought Twitter to enlarge the space for free speech -- and THIS is the man you chose to vilify??

If Elon expects his staff to be at their desk during office hours, they better be there, is my take on this.Still:
I have commented TWICE on the Musk letter. Why on earth have you moderated me out of existence???? Peter Forsythe 93080799
Commenting on the SCMP site has become fraught. What will the mods allow? What will they banish? I don't know. I've read the "commenting guidelines". Don't help. I'm thinking I'll have to cancel my sub. Not worth it, when they can't take something just a touch spicy
