That’s a weird way of bragging about understaffing leading to overwork, but I guess it explains why they can’t kick those quality issues.

Statements like that are just going to make it easier for the UAW to unionise those plants. Union factory workers don't sleep on the floor.

That does make a compelling campaign slogan. While I assume Musk's statement should not be taken literally, IIRC he made similar statements about Twitter. Shortly after, there were countless reports of how awful it suddenly became to work at Twitter.

You're actually right, this would look great on a poster. I hadn't even considered that, it was just a statement of fact.
