    All Tesla will achieve is destroying their reputation. Going after our unions is a boneheaded idea that will never work.

      I genuinely don’t understand what Musk considers his leverage here.

          He lives in the US and like many Americans, believes he can get away with the awful practices he could back home.

          Doesn’t even understand the mentality between the populations is completely different.

          In Norway, the unions are beloved by all. Union busting just isn’t a thing you can do.

        And if that has to ruin a few thousand people’s work/life balance, it’s worth it.

        Plus effective altruism blah blah.
