Elon Musk Explodes Over Work-from-Home Elites.
“Get Off Your Damn High Horse!” Elon Musk LOST IT in a fiery interview published back in July 2024—and now, his explosive rant is going viral all over again in 2025. As remote work debates rage on and economic tensions rise, Musk’s unfiltered takedown of the “laptop class” is hitting a nerve.
With his signature no-BS attitude, Musk slammed the hypocrisy of white-collar workers staying comfy at home while millions in factories, food service, and construction keep the world turning.
His message?
Remote work isn’t just unfair—it’s morally wrong.
"It's like, really? You're going to work from home and you're going to make everyone else who made your car come work in the factory?..."
[Full rant continues below.]
It's like, really? You're going to work from home and you're going to make everyone else who made your car come work in the factory? You're going to make the people who make your food that gets delivered—they can't work from home. The people that come fix your house—they can't work from home. But you can? Does that seem morally right? That's messed up.
You see, it's a moral issue. Yes, it's a productivity issue, but it's also a moral issue. People should get off the goddamn moral high horse with the work-from-home thing, because they're asking everyone else to not work from home while they do.
The laptop class is living in la-la land. Okay, look at the cars—are people working from home here? Of course not. Building cars, servicing the cars, building houses, fixing houses, making the food, making all the things that people consume.
It's messed up to assume that yes, they have to go to work, but you don't. How is that—it's not just a productivity thing. I think it's morally—morally wrong.
