Tesla Strike Spreads to Denmark, Halting Shipments to Sweden
Tesla Strike Spreads to Denmark, Halting Shipments to Sweden
Tesla Inc.’s labor dispute is expanding to Denmark, where the country’s largest union said it will halt shipments of the cars to Sweden in support of striking workers in the biggest Nordic country.
I shall look forward to witness a ketamine-fueled Musk disabling all Teslas in Europe out of spite while tweeting "Fuck you Europe, this wouldn't have happened under Hitler".
Isn't it wild how this is actually realistic, now?
A few years ago I would have laughed at that absurdity, but then Elon straight up said some shit like "facts!" to antisemitic conspiracy theories and now I'm like...
This is putting heavy pressure on Tesla, Scandinavia is a huge market for them. And if the strike spreads to Germany, which it very well could, it could mean the cease of operation of the Model Y factory in Berlin, which would be devastating to them. I hope Musk manages to fuck up enough that he's ousted from day to day control of the company.
I dream of the day the board / shareholders oust him. They don't need him. He adds no value. He only owns like 11% of the stock or thereabouts. He's nothing but a POS. Why they haven't yet only makes me think there are some agreements / clauses in place we're not aware of...but I hope not. Maybe 2024 will bring some respite.
I imagine...Twitter closure, Tesla ousting, it would be amazing.

A big problem is that Germany's labour laws do not allow sympathy or political strikes. A strike can only be legally called in association with a collective bargaining agreement negotiation/dispute.
Germany will be the weak link in this cross-country wave of strikes.
Fuck that shit. Anyone calling a strike illegal does so because they know they have a losing hand.

The thing is, he was supposed to step down as a condition of his settlement with the SEC over fraudulently pretending he was going to take Tesla private.
Wouldn't that be lovely
I love this for him. I hope it makes his hair plugs fall out.
Good.
They may have to unload them in the UK (where sympathy strikes have been illegal since the Thatcher era) and truck them all the way to Sweden.
The UK is not in the EU. That would cost more customs delays, formalities, and costs.
Musk is an idiot. There's a reason companies like McDonalds cooperate with unions in Europe. It's cheaper.
McDonald's actually learned the hard way to work with union agreements when they first opened in Denmark.
Here is an interesting read about it:
