Billionaire Elon Musk reacted to Ford CEO Jim Farley's remark that the automaker's dealerships have 5,000 mechanic vacancies despite offering $1,20,000 (about ₹1 crore) annual salary. "America has a major shortage of people who can do challenging physical work or who even wish to train to do so," Musk said. Several users criticised Musk's comment, with one saying, "That's ludicrous."
