Elon Musk’s Tesla to Cover Travel Costs for Employees Seeking Out-of-State Abortions – By Alan Mastrangelo (The Breitbart) / May 6, 2022
Elon Musk’s Tesla is covering travel costs for employees who get out-of-state abortions, joining the ranks of several other companies that have introduced similar reimbursement policies in the wake of multiple states passing pro-life legislation.
Since 2021, Tesla has expanded its “Safety Net” program and health insurance offering to include “travel and lodging support for those who may need to seek healthcare services that are unavailable in their home state,” according to the company’s “Impact Report,” released Friday.
The electric car maker officially moved its corporate headquarters from California to Texas last year. In September 2021, the Lone Star state passed life-saving legislation, which bans most abortions at six weeks of pregnancy or when a fetal heartbeat is detected.
In September, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted that he believes “government should rarely impose its will upon the people, and, when doing so, should aspire to maximize their cumulative happiness.”
