Gotta get those sales numbers up for the share holders.

Already granted preliminary requests.
The request was very reasonable: if your contracted postal service doesn’t want to do their job then let us pick up plates ourselves.

They aren’t suing “Sweden”. That’s like saying you’re suing the USA if you sue the DMV.

Musk is anti-union in the US. He is not going to stop being anti-union in Sweden. Musk doesn’t own the world. Let him stew.

He just lost all sales to union members in Europe.

Reading between the lines it sounds like it is Elon Musk’s own obsession with not allowing talks with the union. What he doesn’t understand is that it is a complete model for how we in Sweden approach a balanced market, labor rights and company policies. Instead of letting politicians fiddle with laws the company and union needs to find a resolution by talking to each other and in that way find a more effective and efficient collaboration. There are drawbacks as with every solution but we get a very predictable way of working for the market and the companies also enjoys protection from wild strikes for example.
So all Elon has to do is to give power to the local TM Sweden who knows and understands the Swedish system and let the workers unionize. Everyone, including Tesla, will be a winner. And frankly, trying to get a perceived edge against the competition on the market by these types of stunts to avoid unions is a bit… lazy. The same rules applies to everyone or the market becomes skewed.
It now looks like Elons ego will cost Tesla a chunk of money with no upsides and if I had stocks in Tesla I would be annoyed. Just think about what else he thinks he’s right about and wants to take a fight for, do Tesla stock owners want the value to go the same way as it did for Twitter?

Could I be a complete asshole?
No, no. It’s Sweden who is wrong.
