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.

I'll never fully understand how forcing his engineers to actually make the Cybertruck wasn't enough to get him ousted.

I'll never fully understand how pitching that box on wheels didn't get him ousted

The oppinion of Tesla was way different back then, the cult of Musk has lost a lot of influence since then.

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.

Wouldn't that be lovely

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.
