If Tesla gets unionized it’s because we deserve it (www.yahoo.com)

I am a big fan of Tesla. The cars are amazing. Generally I respect Elon, who has a track record of success. I support unions but I would never join one.

I think this is the best quote from the article.

“I don’t know, maybe they will unionize,” he mused. “If Tesla gets unionized it will be because we deserved it, and because we failed in some way.”

Elon has made many employees rich. If they unionize, they jeopardize the benefits that made them rich. I can't see the company agreeing to be as generous when dealing with a union.

Employers have the right to fire anyone who tried to unionize

No they don't, not since 1935. This is easy information to not get wrong.

Just because the government infringes on a right it doesn't mean it isn't a right.

Just because you call something a right doesn't make it a right either. It's a legal protection so either agitate against it or stop fucking whining.

Good to know you don't consider free association to be a right.

It's not about what I consider, it's about what you want to posture about versus what you actually do. Stop your goddamn whining, if you have a problem, do something about it. Don't complain to me, I'm not your mom.

I bet you won't. Talk is easy, and repealing 100 year old laws that every sane person agrees with is hard, and I doubt you have either the gumption or the intelligence to even begin to try :D

Fucking prove me wrong.

I'm not whining. Funny, coming from the guy who thew a tantrum over having to follow the rules.
