Elon Musk

learning of the existence of that clickhole blog jed posted is the best thing to come out of all this

my favorite headline of the day: Musk's Stock-Option Tweet May Invite U.S. Labor Board Complaint

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-22/musk-s-stock-option-tweet-may-invite-u-s-labor-board-complaint

Many Silicon Valley companies give employees shares that fully vest over a four-year period, which has made equity in fast-growing companies a critical part of employees’ compensation packages. The National Labor Relations Act forbids employers from threatening employees with loss of jobs or benefits if they join or vote for a union.

“This is an interesting example of an employer using social media for purposes of campaigning and sharing its views with employees before they vote to decide on representation,” Steven Swirsky, a former NLRB attorney who’s represented companies including Volkswagen AG, said in an interview. “I can foresee the union claiming that this is a threat that the company will discontinue this benefit if the workers chose to be represented.”

Musk would have been on safer legal ground, Liebman said, if he had just described collective bargaining as a give-and-take proposition and warned workers that they may lose benefits in the process.

a genius unlike any other

wow, there is no elon musk news

Well, he's having quite the day on Twitter there.

I was just coming over to say, it just keeps going.

PRAVDA

Thing I’ll be thinking about all day today: people offering hugs to Elon and buying Tesla stock in response to people roasting Elon Musk about not liking unions pic.twitter.com/G3pRJXu9Jr

he’s really owning the Gavin Belsen resemblance

Was his calling it Pravda some weird irony, or is he just stupid?

if nothing else, musk deserves the guillotine for further encouraging peter daou

I'm sure the people who are motivated to evaluate the 'truth' of an article will be untainted, dispassionate defenders of 'verity'.

that daou tweet made my day, just beautiful stuff

so he's just putting the struggle to combat lies and fake news with the pure authorized TruthTM "on hold" to work on a book?

this book will be nothing but lies.

I think he might even be lying about working on a book! Oh my gosh.

well well well

May 24 (Reuters) - The United Auto Workers International Union (UAW) has filed a complaint accusing Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk of illegally threatening to take away benefits from workers who join the union.

The UAW, which is seeking to represent workers at Tesla’s facility in Fremont, California, filed the complaint with the National Labor Relations Board late Wednesday.

Musk in a tweet on Monday said there was nothing stopping Tesla workers from joining a union, but “why pay union dues & give up stock options for nothing?”

Hey buddy. Don't do this. You're making a terrible mistake. https://t.co/SxqsYh8V1s

Uh-oh, Elon Musk has caught a Twitter-specific mental disease. You've seen it before. Someone or some group on here has owned him so bad that he is re-aligning his whole life and worldview to prove them wrong. Happens all the time, but only Musk may blow up a planet as a result

— Vincent Bevins (@Vinncent) May 23, 2018

Non-trivial part of my timeline alternating between "Elon. Please. Stop Talking." and "only following @spacex now" performative outrage.

I think there’s another Twitter user who is actually much more likely to blow up earth as a result

Amazon has to ship to every military PO, right? Jeff decides to sneak an explosive in all the packages going to US bases worldwide

No way does the Trumpster have that pull

Anyone want to bet he’ll address the absolute flood of antisemites supporting him in the replies here?

Who do you think *owns* the press? Hello.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 27, 2018

Or is he going to be crying about the unfair media covering stuff like this?

It don’t take long to get to a pro-Assad anti Semitic Pepe the frog and that was enough.

Revolting.

lmao

Marx was a capitalist. He even wrote a book about it.

Came to post that, hehehe we live in a fictional narrative this world isn’t real

I'm... pretty sure that has to be a joke. Even hating Elon Musk, I'm willing to extend credit that far.

Yeah he’s trying “humour” and it’s coming out exactly as you’d expect

he was just researching humour

so yeah how many billions has Musk personally siphoned from public coffers?

...the Tesla employee had confessed to "quite extensive and damaging sabotage to our operations." The email said the employee made changes to the computer code of the company's manufacturing operating system. The employee also exported large amounts of highly sensitive company data to unknown third parties.

wreckers, comrades!

it reflects so badly on the impressive heads down type Stakhanovites who just love nothing less than making rich ppl much richer!

"Not sure we actually need a building. This tent is pretty sweet."

LOLOLOL

the fake saboteur is responsible for that tesla catching fire for sure

also the final mix of realiti

"Not sure we actually need an album version"

charges filed today, but only for stealing date, no sabotage

so basically some employee tried to leak documents about this guy's collapsing house of cards, is what I think

braver than the troops

date = data

nearly every article about this is picking up on it, but it's worth noting that any time any of Musk's ventures has had a setback he's immediately jumped to the "sabotage!" angle

in 2016 he was convinced someone was firing a laser at his rocket from a neighboring building

Was actually someone else’s drawing of a unicorn on hidden Tesla sketch pad app & we gained no financial benefit. Have asked my team to use a diff example going forward. He can sue for money if he wants, but that’s kinda lame. If anything, this attention increased his mug sales.
