Musk created a company that gives around 15,000 workers a job. The company he created is not just a capitalist endeavor, but an attempt to start an environmental movement aimed at making electric cars viable in the world market. At multiple points during the company's early days, Musk put everything he had on the line; assuming huge levels of risk.

Meanwhile, Tesla is not making a profit and one wrong move could destroy it - ending the jobs of thousands and an environmental movement in one fell swoop. Giving luxurious benefits to Tesla employees just isn't possible at this point.

Your criticism that Musk is just a capitalist who doesn't care about his workers and treat them well seems completely unfair.

Boo hoo, not treating your workers like shit isn't some impossible, gargantuan task. Working your engineers & labor 60+ hours a week makes for great sound bites, but significantly below average productivity. Combined with an employer that won't even take basic suggestions on improving workflow from their floor staff, Tesla obviously has a certain level of arrogance about how to build a car. Fuck the employees who actually do it day in and day out, they don't know shit according to Tesla.
