Tesla has committed to covering travel-related expenses for employees who are forced to go out of state to have an abortion after Elon Musk’s electric car outfit recently relocated to Texas, where the governor has vowed to outlaw the procedure.


Musk has been hailed by conservatives for his pledge to acquire Twitter and alter its content moderation policies as well as his stated desire to vote for Republican candidates, though his car maker’s abortion-friendly policy flies in the face of his rightward turn.

Never forget that Musk loves money more than anything.

If they use the abortion pill, they won't have to go anywhere.

I wonder how this will work in practice.

Does the employee have to put in notice that they’re pregnant and want a few days off to end it? Do you require proof?

Seems like an HR nightmare that’ll create problems itself.

Elon is socially liberal. That hasn't changed.

Hi, HR, I need off for 3 days to go to Mexico because I let some stranger raw dog me last month.

Will spin it?
Either you have the correct mindset and values, or you don’t. There is no middle ground. With this decision, Tesla has displayed they have the wrong values.

Bingo! I have no problems with companies doing this. And states can still decide individually. You'd think the blue states would be ecstatic as this would open up a potential revenue stream.

They just hate losing our tax dollars. Want one? Pay for that shite yourself.

And that’s nothing compared to the insurance contributions for full term prenatal and delivery costs, and the subsequent costs through the years. These are strictly financial decisions.

Tell me what is more important than standing up for the defenseless who are dismembered everyday simply because they’re seen as an inconvenience?
