Elon Musk Trades Insults With Robert Reich Over Tesla Pay Cuts

Elon Musk didn’t mince words after Robert Reich, the Clinton-era labor secretary who now researches public policy at the University of California, Berkeley, criticized the Tesla CEO over pay cuts earlier this year and called him a “modern-day robber baron.”

“All Tesla workers also get stock, so their compensation increased proportionately,” Musk said on Twitter Wednesday in a response to Reich.
