Elon Musk doesn’t like unions ..

Elon Musk doesn't like unions . Electric car maker Tesla was found responsible for anti-union communication for a tweet from its boss Elon Musk and other US labor law violations. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued a published Thursday, which, among other things, condemned Tesla for the firing of an employee who had fought for the formation of union representation.

The employee was part of an organizational campaign, "Fair Future at Tesla". At the time of the campaign, Tesla said his business would remain union-free, but Musk's public comments on his Twitter account, where he has tens of millions of followers, were seen as threatening. Tesla considers Elon Musk's tweets to be an official communication from the company, as revealed in its financial documents.

Tesla must compensate the man for any loss of income and offer to hire him again. The agency also ordered Musk to delete a 2018 tweet. According to the NLRB, the Tesla boss illegally threatened employees with losing stock options if they were unionized. There are no direct comments from Tesla or Musk, but the group has so far denied the misconduct.

Musk thinks he's the old, digitally updated master of steam, but evidently the world doesn't work that way, and until he's completely replaced workers with AI-controlled robots, he'll have to settle for dealing with unions. When he no longer has employees, he will have to look for who to sell the cars to…

On Wednesday, Tesla made headlines with the announcement that customers in the United States will be able to pay for electric cars with Bitcoin cryptocurrency. "Now you can buy a Tesla with Bitcoin," Musk tweeted. In the coming months, this should also be possible outside the United States, and will be a decent boost for the adoption of virtual currency.
