The Cobalt from the Congo uses "artisan" miners who then sell to Chinese refiners.
Elon Musk still hasn't made any promises to modify his supply chain.
Now there is a thread saying the MyPillow CEO is a traitor and deserves to go out of business.
Meanwhile Musk is a good immigrant who wants to save the environment.
Tell me, do any of you care that Musk funds slavery? Is that patriotic? Is that why the state of california offers him subsidies, and he benefits from cap and trade.
Is he the real patriot, do you even care?
Lets assume that's true (and I have no reason to think it's not)...how does that differ from Apple, Nike, Microsoft, Amazon, Google or any other company that utilizes Chinese manufacturing, that in turn uses child and slave (prison) labor?
Before the late 1930s and the Fair Labor Standards Act, America use to allow child labor in dangerous work. My mother's grandfather's son died at age 13 in a mining explosion around the late 1800s and after that he didn't allow his children or my mom's dad to ever work in mining. It wasn't forced labor per se it was at the discretion of parents. I'm not sure what they are doing in Africa today. It was mostly very libertarian in this country before about 1940.

I cannot STAND Elon Musk or the My Pillow guy.
I would not put anything past either one of them.
