I think he is right about tech workers working on a higher level, using a bulldozer instead of a shovel, but thats going to be a good thing for the company, not the worker.

He sees the company as the main driver in the economy and if it's good for the company, it's good for the country. If it sucks for workers, it's a sacrifice he is willing to make...

Boosting productivity is very bad for the stressed worker who gets a new performance baseline that is 10 times what it was before. We already see this happening.

“You could double the taxes I pay, and it’s not going to help that teacher in Queens. I promise you.”

He is right about this too, because he knows the taxes in America is not going to those people. America has so much money but they spend it on weapons instead of their country.

So he is not lying in this interview. He is saying the truth which is why things are so sad. Him paying more taxes would just give more money to the weapons industry. He is existing inside a country where the presidents doesn't care about ordinary people at all. Same as Russia.
