    So very long story short, IF Metall one of Swedens largest Unions took out all workers on strike that worked in Tesla repair shops cuz the shops refused to sign under collective deals, rumors are now coming that Tesla might try to fly in people from outside Sweden to work in the shops which means Tesla will find out what ToysRus did years ago.

    What will basically happen is that IF Metall members from other places will also strike against Tesla meaning cars and parts will get stuck in the harbors, offices wont get cleaned and pretty much everything in between.
    If you mess with the unions here you are very likely to end up in a situation where it is almost impossible to do business.

    There is a very good reason for IF Metall to not back down aswell cuz if they do it is very likely other companies will try to ignore how things are usually done here with collective deals.

    The Big List of Elon Musk’s Hyperbole, Evasions, and Outright Lies
    The billionaire simply can't stop making shit up

    TO HIS MANY fans, Elon Musk is the future. Whether that future means self-driving cars, brain chip implants, an “everything app,” a colonized Mars, or all of the above, they believe in the billionaire’s ambitions — and, crucially, his ability to bring them to fruition.

    But why? Musk has an uneven track record as both innovator and entrepreneur. If he maintains a reputation for high-tech triumph, it’s in part because he’s been a relentless self-promoter, announcing new projects at such a clip that headlines can never quite catch up with the failed and abandoned ideas left in his wake. By appearing restless, driven, always in pursuit of the next big thing, he adds to the impression that he’s accomplished plenty already.

    Along the way, he’s exaggerated, overpromised, skirted facts, and lied. A lot. There are lies to save face, misrepresentations to gain an advantage, and, perhaps most of all, bluster about when a scientific breakthrough will become a reality. There are also lies about stuff that doesn’t matter. (Like, at all.) Here we present a comprehensive but by no means exhaustive list of Musk’s habitual hucksterism, hyperbole, evasions, and outright fabrications.

    https://www.rollingstone.com/cul…

    • He should run as Trump Vice President.utopian
    • Our future is being built by idiotsPhanLo
    • Give your heads a shake, why cares about these small details (like, at all)? he's human, humans do dumb things...prophetone
    • as long as he keeps tossing money, resources at different technologies then so be it, some fail, some will help unlock the next advancement, that's how it worksprophetone
    • I could care less about the rest of it b/c it's all fleeting, and what appears to be 'exaggerated, overpromised' today might pan out in the future, more quicklyprophetone
    • and possibly not by this guy... but that should be a good thing overall for the future of humankind... even if it's learning from mistakesprophetone
    • America's future never looked brighter.utopian

    • Agree with Prophetone here. Throw enough shit at the wall and some will stick. At least he's doing stuff, trying, pushing the limits, pissing off governments...microkorg
    • Imagine any other future thinkers of great minds (not saying Elon is one :P) of history had billions at their disposal and were running huge companies...microkorg
    • ..they'd be just as questionable. haha.microkorg
    • Elon reminds me more of Evangelical wanks, I think that's why he's been successful in the US because it's part of the culture to be fleeced by clownsPhanLo
    • Tx microkorg, this is all it is, this is what’s important, so what if he said this or that, even messed up, if even 25% of efforts make a long term differenceprophetone
    • Then great... but the other 75% is valuable as well because someone has now at least attempted it... but him being a big doofus is icing to scrapeprophetone
    • He is not the guy imo... the next guy is the guy... then the next guy is the guy... each one pushing it a bit furtherprophetone
    • ...until we finally get a real hoverboard, and other stuff tooprophetone
    • How people can take him seriously after that tunnel shit is beyond me.PhanLo

    Verified pro-Nazi X accounts flourish under Elon Musk
    An NBC News review identified 150 verified "Premium" accounts that have posted or amplified pro-Nazi content.

    Elon Musk’s X is a thriving hub for Nazi support and propaganda, with paid subscribers sharing speeches by Adolf Hitler or content praising his genocidal regime.

    NBC News found that at least 150 paid “Premium” subscriber X accounts and thousands of unpaid accounts have posted or amplified pro-Nazi content on X in recent months, often in apparent violation of X’s rules. The paid accounts posting the content all consistently posted antisemitic or pro-Nazi material. Examples included praise of Nazi soldiers, sharing of Nazi symbols and denials of the Holocaust.
