"Going forward, I've asked that every injury be reported directly to me, without exception. I'm meeting with the safety team every week and would like to meet every injured person as soon as they are well, so that I can understand from them exactly what we need to do to make it better. I will then go down to the production line and perform the same task that they perform."

He’ll save a few million in lawsuits by having that email on record. He will be able to claim that every injury he hasn’t heard about is the fault of somebody below him.
If I were below Musk, I’d be printing off every email that I sent to his office that had an injury on in to protect myself.
Someone gets a paper cut and the CEO is going to lose a half-day over it?
Not to mention everyone in between.
Musk stole it from me. I have been saying and doing the exact same thing for 20 years.
Sounds like he’s trying to scare people out of reporting accidents. But what else would you expect of a lib.
“what we need to do to make it better”
LOL!
Like Mommy to a child: “kiss it and make it better”.
Yeah, I guess on an emotional level that’s ‘smart’.
Oh, barf.
We are going thru the same thing where I work. Big safety push. Have been some accidents. It is an old plant with old machinery. I am supposed to turn in a”near miss” report each month and multiple “safety blitzes” about unsafe conditions. Trip hazards, leaks, etc. The head maintenance guy left a note with his keys on top of it last week. The powers that be wanted to write him up over a safety interlock on a machine that cut an employees finger pretty good. I dunno the right or wrong on that one, but everything is in an uproar.
Agree 10,000%
Employee Safety is a HUUUUUGE passive-aggressive SCAM.
You get hurt..? YOU GET IN HUGE TROUBLE.
Yes, after a million words are thrown back and forth about how NO ONE will EVER get into trouble for getting hurt on the job.
“You are not in trouble AT ALL, let me undersore that...”
In fact the more they say that, they MORE busted you will be.
That ain’t emotional intelligence. That is a CEO trying to stave off a union in a company that has never made a profit but lives off the govt teat
The operations VP at my place sent out an email congratulating one of our plants for 2 years without a recordable injury.
I walked into his office and asked if he was really proud of that. When he said yes I said “if you’re not bleeding you’re not working hard enough”
Yea, I got the look
Agreed. This is likely to have a chilling effect on reporting.
“Are you sure you want to say you are hurt? Musk will come down here himself to see what you were doing wrong. And then he’ll get the problem taken care of. Now, what was it you wanted to report?”
Sounds like what his workers really need is a militant union to take care of them.
Reminds me of those whisleblower training sessions. I’ve only seen it work out for the whistleblower once or twice. And those were third hand reports. NoFEAR Act? Believe the training at your own risk.
Replace everyone with robots.
$5 per hour for a Slovenian H1b guy to DESIGN and BUILD a Tesla BODY SHOP..?!!
“Surely you mean to SWEEP UP in the body shop...I mean that’s ridiculous...”
Ridiculous and TRUE!
And it only came to light cuz the exhausted guy FELL and hurt himself, whereupon they were trying to...
SMUGGLE HIM OUT OF THE USA...!
Ha. That is management’s dream, but the powder we work with is abrasive and eats up mechanical and electronic stuff. Some is even slightly conductive and we lose ‘puters unless they are in a positive pressure box.
Ho hum. Something to get his name in the news now that he is off the Presidental panel? Who knows. I do know after seeing a “how it’s made” on the Telsa and seeing the huge dies to smack the aluminum chassis, I couldn’t help but wonder why he wasn’t using the superplastic forming that Ford is using on the F-150, oh well I guess the F-150 is more advanced....
There’s no way he could perform his job as CEO effectively if he follows through with his pledge.
This is a PR stunt, full stop.
