Three former SpaceX supervisors told Reuters that Musk would have machinery painted in industrial safety yellow repainted to black or blue because of he didn’t like how it looked. The ex-supervisors also said that some workers were told not to wear yellow safety vests when Musk was on site.

It says they couldn’t wear yellow safety vests, but I’m guessing, at least at first, that they didn’t have two colors of safety vest available for all employees.

And repainting machines unsafe colors because you don’t like yellow?

Just criminal assholeishness. If he wasn’t so rich, he would be charged with reckless endangerment.

      You don’t have to wait for someone to die to issue a fine, y’know. How many forklifts does Tesla operate? How many employees are supposed to be wearing safety vests? And that’s just what we know about so far. I guaran-fucking-tee that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Count each instance as an individual infraction and that’s going to spiral out of control real quick.
