I live in an area with an economy largely supported by union wages and worker input on working conditions, home of the Ford Motor Company. It is worth noting that the operative word with Musk, Bezos, and Henry Ford is "control" as in control freaks who want the reins on pay and working conditions (although Ford's opposition to the unions was also based on his belief that unionization was part of an international Jewish plot to control the world). In the case of all three of these guys, their success seems to have led them to believe that they should extend the borders of their "control" with communication satellites and space flight and in the case of Ford, the development of a "controlled" community, Fordlandia, in South America. Ceding any control is not in the natures of Musk or Bezos, and I will forever despise Musk for shutting down his Starlink satellite system in Ukraine in the early weeks of the Russian invasion thereby enabling Russia.
Here's something interesting about Musk: his family are not actually "Afrikaners." They haven't been there many generations. The fam,ily was originally in Canada, but in 1949, his father looked around at Canada and told himself he didn't like what he saw, so he moved the family to South Africa. The attraction was that the National Party had taken power and was instituting Apartheid.

I despised Musk before he did that , but the abject cruelty of that move was over the top even for him. Lots to think about.
