Industrialist Elon Musk has criticized work-from-home arrangements, claiming it was unfair to employees who cannot access such options while at the same time being less productive compared to working from an office.

“The laptop class is living in la la land,” Musk said in an interview with CNBC on May 16. The billionaire insisted that it was wrong for some employees to have the option of working from home while others who work in places like factories or shops are mandated to attend the workplace. “I kind of think that the whole notion of work from home is a bit like the fake Marie Antoinette quote, ‘let them eat cake.’ It’s like, really, you’re gonna work from home, and you’re gonna make everyone else who made your car come work in the factory.”
