Elon Musk is giving away $1 million a day to voters

Billionaire and Trump supporter Elon Musk has promised to raffle $1 million a day to voters who sign a petition, several media reports.

During yesterday's campaign meeting in the wave champion state of Pennsylvania, he handed out the first million to a surprised but pleasantly surprised man in the audience, writes TT. Handing out money to Republicans who sign a petition is a way to get around the law that in the US you can't pay voters to vote.

Mercedes CEO: The Germans take sick leave too often

Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius sees the high sickness absence in the German factories as a problem for the business, he says in an interview with Der Spiegel.

- When sickness absence in the German car factories is sometimes twice as high as in other European countries, it has financial consequences.

Recently, Tesla, which has a large factory in Berlin, has said the same thing. In Tesla's case, the company was criticized by the union for, among other things, making home visits to people on sick leave to check that they were really sick. The union IG Metall believes that it is the working conditions with low staffing and safety that have led to the high sickness absence, writes the German newspaper.
