figures of our time.

However, not everyone was thrilled with the outcome of this conversation. The UAW, a union deeply entrenched in leftist ideologies, has taken issue with comments made during the discussion.

Specifically, they have accused Trump and Musk of attempting to intimidate and threaten workers who exercise their rights to engage in protected activities such as strikes.

This has to be pre-planned from the get go in order to get a lawsuit going less than 10 hours after the Space X interview ended.

Joe Biden placed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs.

Joe Biden reversed Trump’s executive orders.

The UAW leadership needs to consider the possibilities.

According to the UAW it’s a crime to say “If you don’t work, we’ll fire you and find someone else who will”.

UAW members should revolt for the union wasting their dues on a frivolous law suit.

So now its a criminal offense to opine ( hypothetically) that striking workers be fired….

Did twitter even have a union?

Do either Elon or Trump employee UAW workers? Do Elon or Trump own any controlling interests in companies which employee UAW workers? Do Elon or Trump work for Federal Government? Then it’s just free speech.

The UAW needs to be concerned with the Chinese car companies….

The pot calls the kettle “black.” What is a striking labor union’s Picket Line except mass intimidation, a show of strength meant to cow the non-union workers into taking the day off?

I’m not very smart, I don’t understand how a Union can file charges against private citizens? Where did they get enforcement capabilities?

No. Unions aren’t used to consequences. (Though they understand them fully on the other side “be with us or you’ll get hurt, wink wink).

You want to unionize, go ahead. And you’ll all be out of work because the company will be gone. That’s a result of YOUR actions, not MINE.

But unions don’t like that kind of thinking. They don’t like tit for tat. Intimidation for intimidation.

What do they think “go along with this contract or we walk” is?? It’s intimidation.

Absolutely - no way they had a lawsuit come to mind, take shape, and all the paperwork ready to make this announcement over night. Further - exactly what remarks did Musk & Trump make that could in any way be interpreted as intimidating or preventing them from exercising their rights?

Trump’s comment was about Twitter employees who stayed at home doing nothing. How does the UAW even have standing?

And China responded by cutting off graphite that is needed to produce our EV's.

Hard for me to feel sorry for the UAW member when they are making about $60,000/yr without overtime or bonuses. I’m retired and living on less than 40% of that amount. Some illegal immigrants are getting more than that from the gov’t in the form of grants, subsidies, and housing.

Bunch of spoiled children.

They demand top pay and benefits for doing high school level work, turning out sh*tty, overpriced vehicles.
