The only thing insane would be to let Elon Musk exploit them.
But that’s exactly what every other Employee and country is doing.
And he’s not capable of handling the fact that someone might be standing up to him.
And I don’t even mean that in a “doesn’t have a business plan to handle that situation” sense either. I think that he’s personally not emotionally stable enough to fully grasp what’s happening.
Every other country? IG Metall (Germany) is also preparing to fight Tesla.
But that’s exactly what every other Employee and country is doing.
Insane behaviour has often been popular in society. Not sure what that says about our species.
If you want to go all philosophical about it, think about who decided what “insane” means. That was the same species. So we set arbitrary standards of sanity and then we repeatedly fail to meet them … something something philosophy …
Elon very likely lives in his own bubble with no one around that can disagree.
A millionaire could surround themselves with other millionaires and get a reality check. There are few billionaires and trillionaires, and they are likely surrounded by people that depend on the billionaires for their life’s stability.
This is a good argument for taxing billionaires heavily. They should not exist and will be destructive as they loose touch with reality.
It’s for their own good 😉
As a goal, that’s neither here nor there.
We should do it because it’s for the common good.
Billionaires only help society by accident - and even that’s unusual. We should help them make a bigger difference
I remember reading a comment that roughly said he could have been batman and he chose to be a shitposter instead.
Enjoying the slow moving trainwreck because he’s such a shitty person.
This is also a good argument for not allowing parallel societies for different income levels or similar distinctions to develop in other parts of society which means we need to get rid of isolating factors like car commutes from inside the garage to inside the office parking garage at work. People with different income levels should interact regularly in an informal setting where they can actually talk to each other.
That means it’s working!
Elon Musk is getting a taste of how strong workers unions are in Scandinavia. I remember reading something about McDonald’s very nearly getting kicked out of here from Denmark because how it was treating its workers.
Psychopath billionaire gaslights unions fighting for living wage.
It’s worse than that. Tesla is refusing to recognize the mechanics union at all. The Swedish mechanics union has many members at Tesla, and have asked to negotiate, and Tesla is flat out refusing to sign a deal to bring their working standards up to national standards. This would be illegal in the US under the NLRA.
Union collective agreements are so important in Sweden that they literally are our labor laws. Sweden does not have a minimum wage or overtime pay at all in the national law. Those are always regulated in the collective agreement. Tesla is refusing to accept any sort of minimum wage, overtime pay, etc for thair employees. They are trying to do business in Sweden without playing by basic labor rules, and they are being shunned by all of Sweden for it. They will end up like Toys R Us in 1995.

Elon Musk: Everyone is insane!
Everyone: No, Elon, you are insane, and now please take your pills.

Whiny man baby angry that he can’t break his toys
I hope this spreds internationally.
And yet he doubles down. The unstoppable force meets the immovable object.
I hope that Sweden prevails. If the strike fails, it’s the end of workers’ rights in Sweden and a Friedmanite short sharp shock plunging the nation into dog-eat-dog hyper-Thatcherism, with plunging standards of living for anyone dependent on selling their labour.
Not really, this stuff happens all the time
The real insane thing is posting and upvoting whatever this idiot says.
Nah, let him feel the hurt. Let’s enjoy the shitshow he brought upon himself.
Nothing matters to him as long as he’s rich.
And these strikes will hurt his wallet
i think these types of people feed off the hate and it only makes them hunger for more.
Disagree in this case. Its good for people to watch him loose this fight with the unions IMO.
I agree that the public needs to see Tesla losing the fight against unions. No need to post and upvote another article titled “elon musk said”.
The Guardian is a left leaning paper. I agree with the other poster that it’s important to highlight and champion those who oppose exploitation.
South African meets Scandinavians
If Musky, and capitalism, is/are sane then being insane is just fine.
Capitalists: We want free markets without government interference.
Swedish labor market organizes collective negotiation.
Capitalists: No, not like that!
Every accusation is a confession.
The insane thing is Tesla taking out wanted ads to hire scabs, disgusting.
What our self proclaimed socialist Musk disagreeing with unions ?
