I worked in a gas station in my youth. Back in the 70's gas stations
were full service. I fix flats, pumped gas, checked oil, cleaned
windshields, once in a while I would air up a tire.
And there was that job at the bakery where I made donuts. Did not
require a lot of skill.
Seems very unskilled.

Not sure anyone is suggesting they work for free. I assume they will be
highly paid as they are today.

I had no idea Musk was an elitist.
