You can have workplace democracy without redistributing. Redistributing is about the dumbest thing you can do to a private company, or nation in general. If you want money, work for it. If you want to be rich, work for it. It is not easy, but riches dont come easy. Elon Musk does not deserve to have to redistribute his entire capital to a bunch of people. He earned his money, and he should keep it. It is his.

Yes while I do agree a large sum of his capital is his, his methods of acquiring said capital I do find a bit detestable. I do not wish to redistribute his wealth personally, I wish more to properly regulate the exploitation of workers. Elon Musk as an example has already been guilty of violating worker rights as CEO of his company Tesla by blocking Union organizers. He is also supportive of many predatory mining operations of lithium in Bolivia. I just believe that with a proper justice system and a more democratic consumer and worker force that injustices like this may be combated. I still believe that a mix of incorrupt government regulation and the free market forces are still beneficial to society. I do not subscribe to violent revolutions or forced redistribution of capital
