I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you. I'd never imagine that nice Mr. Musk would do that... Oh? He's been a total ass to workers at his other companies too you say? No, say it isn't so...

Fuck the office and all the bullshit that goes with it. Stop forcing people to be in a place when the job can be done remotely. If people want to go it thats one thing but those who dont should not be forced.

It's all about real estate contracts, nothing more.

Sunk cost fallacy, though you're still probably right. That plus a heaping spoonful of good ol boomer ignorance.

How is it sunk cost when 90% of people will just go to work anyway.

What huh, I don't get what you don't understand about my comment. They need to keep their offices running since they have a piece of the pie in real estate. So they just force the workers to come back to the office, simple.
