Elon Musk's father said Europeans are increasingly unwilling to work.
In an interview with TASS Russian News Agency, businessman Errol Musk, Elon Musk's father, said that the willingness of European people to work is decreasing and linked this phenomenon to "the spread of socialism".
"In my opinion, as socialism spreads in Europe, people's willingness to work is weakening. If you can make money without working, then why should we work?" the elder Musk said.
In his view, it is natural to want to leave a country where taxes are rising.
"You move to a country where the tax rate is reduced rather than increased. So, those European countries that raise their tax rates have reached a level of 'you don't need to work if you don't want to work' through socialization." he shared.
According to this businessman, such practice goes against European traditions. "So, if people from a hundred years ago could come back and see what happened in Europe, I think they would be very disappointed," he said.
At the same time, he said that the intellectual level of Europeans has not decreased, so Europe should not be completely eliminated.
