“They won’t just be burning the midnight oil, they will be burning the 3 am oil, they won’t even leave the factory type of thing, whereas in America people are trying to avoid going to work at all,” Musk said at an FT Live event.
I think what people are trying to avoid is being exploited.

The modern company town. Musk has just taken the next logical step by removing frills like “rooms” and “personal space”. At least the workers get a 400 yuan allowance (or the equivalent in Muskdollars) to spend at the company store.
