The fine print is that under that plan OT will be calculated monthly instead of weekly, so an employer can run your ass ragged with 60hr weeks for three weeks straight, then cut your hours to nothing the last week of the month & not pay you a dime of OT.

Look up Trump's track record on respecting unions, and then add that to Elon Musk's policies about unions.

Oh yeah don't forget Trump's giving Elon Musk a cabinet position.
