>Companies have always been for shareholders.

well we can trace that back to the 1920's, for one example.

>Do you people have some kind of contract with Tesla that I don't know about?

Are you aware of what a "social contract" is? There's nothing wrong with seeking to fill in gaps of knowledge.

>This entire discussion sounds crazy to me. If you want socialism, vote for socialism.

I'd be down for it, but this is almost orthogonal to the main point of the discussion. Social contracts exist in all forms of governing. Even rampant capitism has the bare bones social contract of "don't make your customers TOO angry so you can maximize extraction".
