Tesla hiring Nordic policy expert as 'WWE-like standoff' with unions intensifies
Tesla hiring Nordic policy expert as 'WWE-like standoff' with unions intensifies
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.
It seems like he has... none?
I'm legitimately confused, is he trying to hire a Nordic version of an American lobbyist?
[laugh track]
You'd think they'd hire the expert before entering the market?
They did not and it is fucking hilarious. One instance is their spokesperson admits to a jounalist they have no clue at all what is legal and what is not when it comes to getting scabs. Which they 100% tried to get. "But we are only getting swedish scabs, not foreign scabs! Oh, not allowed? Really? Ehhhh...". Then a letter gets leaked by one of Teslas lobbyists trying to suck up to the minister of labour market (thats a literal translation, not sure what its called in english), and its all like "I dare wish for a short audience with you sire", basically. Cringe stuff. The minister of labour markets is the party leader of the liberal party, and has the backbone of a bacteria, celebrates working with the far right now because that gives him a minister post. Weakest liberal in the world, and he fucking ignores the letter. Hahahha
I mean Twitter currently only has one site reliability engineer so being prepared is clearly not a priority for Musk.
Sign the collective agreement!
I'd like my millions in cash, please.
Go apply. Who knows? Maybe the job will be yours.
It boggles my mind how this fucking loser ever got to where he is now.
It's a damn shame that kid didn't push him just a little harder down those stairs.
... how this fucking loser ever got to where he is now.
Starting life as the billionaire heir to a lucrative gem mine built on slave labor will let you stay rich no matter how much you fuck up.
He invested a lot of money into an electric car company. Anyone could tell the wind was blowing towards electric cars.
Anyone could tell the wind was blowing towards electric cars.
Not to defend Musk but that is simply not true. Everyone was saying electric cars will never work. Just 6 years ago the Volkswagen CEO made fun of Tesla and now they are still playing the catch up game.

People with money tend to trust people with money because their ego tells them how smart they are because of their own success, and they project that onto others.
Elon is also a brilliant con man, exactly like Donald Trump. They’re so close, it’s uncanny. Elon apparently got $13B in loans from major banks by telling them that his businesses never lose money.
We will have to see if reality is finally catching up with them.
He looks like a poorly aged Squall Leonhart in that thumbnail.
Yet somehow manages to be even more cringe than Squall, which is quite the achievement.
What does a WWE like standoff even mean. Is Roman Reigns going to run in with a steel chair?
So funny watching rich people use poor people's money against them.
LOL. Lets hire 1 person to change the politics in 4 countries to support a foreign private company..
(Also.. .. The primary point in all the nordic models is that politics shouldn't interfere in the labour market.)
It's ridiculously amusing to see the world's richest man attempting to throw money at a problem that can't be solved with money. I like it a lot.
Funny thing is it can be fixed with money. If only he gave it to the workers instead of lobbyists.
The workers don't want money. They want a collective agreement.
