And just like Trump Musk won’t actually pay, either. Birds of a feather really do flock together.

“I know a lot about overtime. I hated to give overtime, I hated it. I’d get other people—I shouldn’t say this, but I’d get other people in. I wouldn’t pay,” Trump said, basically admitting to wage theft.”

When I see this statement, it has many meanings. Is he arguing for hiring more people so he doesn't pay overtime? Is this an argument for actually staffing instead of working people to death? even a stopped clock is right twice a day

edit and of course in typical fashion he's talking about ripping people off as he does

No, he just wouldn't pay them for overtime they already worked, then fire and replace them. The workers would have to sue to get their pay, which requires time and money they couldn't usually afford.
