Amazon isn't a great example though as Jeff “algorithmically controlling workers body” Bezos is only marginally less evil than Musk.

Tall poppy syndrome.

The entirely logistics industry tracks worker productivity closely.

Amazon are actually one of the better companies to work for. Their targets are more realistic, the pay is generally better, safety culture is much better and the facilities are air conditioned.

It's not just about tracking productivity, it's about the words he chose to say that.

Bezos also bought the WaPo and exert tight control over its editorial line so it can act as its own propaganda machine.

While not as ostensibly evil as Musk (likely because unlike the former, he's not high on drugs all the time), Bezos is still pretty close to a Bond villain.
