The plutocrats that Republicans (and many Democrats) work for would sue newspapers over and over until they crack.

Musk said he plans to fire many salaried Tesla workers and hire more hourly workers. In other words, he wants a more precarious work force.

He also seems to plan to hire other salaried workers later this year to replace those he is firing now. You'd think he could afford to keep those workers on for the few months in between.
