Elon Musk has decried a wave of “insane” strikes focused on Tesla workshops in Sweden, as workers target the US electric car manufacturer in a strike calling for collective bargaining rights.
In what has been portrayed as the largest fight in decades to save Sweden’s union model from global labour practices, the powerful trade union IF Metall has been leading a strike across eight Tesla workplaces in Sweden for five weeks.
It is the first time workers for the US carmaker have gone on strike and on Thursday, Musk, the tech billionaire and chief executive of Tesla, made his feelings clear, writing on X, formerly Twitter: “This is insane.”
To me, proof that Elon Musk is a doofus and not as smart as he thinks he is, is that he had this public persona of “real life Iron Man” billionaire playboy thing going, and within just a couple years his public image has become “douche bag with too much money”. Obviously that one is way closer to reality, which is exactly my point.
Someone with half a brain would have hired a PR team to keep the original image intact for as long as possible, but he’s so egotistical and so prideful and so oblivious he thinks he can let his real self on display and that’ll just carry him
I think most people are at a point where they only really want to know what he’s up to to make fun of him.
I would love it if people would just stop talking about him
do you think that will make him go away? Stop shining a light on the dark and disgusting in the hopes that they just disappear? Doesn’t work like that pal.
If you actually cared, there are ways of stopping phony stark from coming up in your feed, yet here you are
who? Elon Musk you mean? That brilliant billionaire inventor and leader?
No Elon Musk the rich apartheid profited dipshit who deserves to be blood eagled.
dude he HAS a massive PR team to keep his image up, hell that PR Team is the only reason why people had this image of him in the first place
He has literally fired most (not sure if all?) of Tesla’s PR team in the past as well as Twitter’s. Guy doesn’t believe PR is worthwhile.
For a while there I had hope he was doing it so he could run as a republican and then do a flip on them when he got elected.
Just started passing things usually called literal.
This was 5 years ago
Evidently he has Asperger’s, so there might be a non-nefarious explanation for his lack of understanding of social things and why he is both simultaneously so successful/creative but also completely socially inept.
He might be actually incapable of understanding others’ perspectives.
You do not need to understand others on an emotional level for this, you can come pretty far on rationals alone. This excuse might work in a personal relationship, not here.
Not this again, really just shitting on Autistic people by saying stuff like this.
I still believe in him
