The comparison to China is whataboutism and/or a false equivalence. Chinese work practices and available legal recourse might be worse than what Americans have today, but that doesn’t mean Americans have to sacrifice their quality of life to remain competitive. The application of “breaking a few eggs to make an omelette” to workplace injuries is also insensitive at best: what if a family member or friend in your life suffered the same? Would that individual be a “broken egg” for someone else’s potential “omelette” in your opinion?
We might not be able to stop all workplace injuries, and I totally agree that Elon Musk has accomplished a lot in his all of his ventures to date; however, if Musk’s path to future success requires further harm towards his customers and/or his employees, then I’d rather wait for someone else to accomplish the same without any lives being in jeopardy.
