Tesla is hiring a Nordic public policy expert as the U.S. electric vehicle giant's bitter dispute with labor unions across the region shows no sign of reaching a resolution.
Anyone could tell the wind was blowing towards electric cars.
Not to defend Musk but that is simply not true. Everyone was saying electric cars will never work.
Just 6 years ago the Volkswagen CEO made fun of Tesla and now they are still playing the catch up game.
So what? Diess was optimistic but had to also drag German labor along, and that market has rights US union could only dream of.
But he worked cooperatively with them, even through a worldwide pandemic. They’re still waiting for parts.
We’re far beyond that pandemic and Elon is doing whatever his highness wants, when he wants it. Surprise, surprise - it doesn’t get him anywhere outside of Republican-controlled territories, and he’s having a hissy fit on X.
I, meanwhile, munch popcorn and enjoy driving the VW ID.3 I bought in place of the Model 3 order I cancelled. Fuck Musk - he gets none of my money, and clearly nothing from Norway either.
People with money tend to trust people with money because their ego tells them how smart they are because of their own success, and they project that onto others.
Elon is also a brilliant con man, exactly like Donald Trump. They’re so close, it’s uncanny. Elon apparently got $13B in loans from major banks by telling them that his businesses never lose money.
We will have to see if reality is finally catching up with them.
It boggles my mind how this fucking loser ever got to where he is now.
It’s a damn shame that kid didn’t push him just a little harder down those stairs.
Starting life as the billionaire heir to a lucrative gem mine built on slave labor will let you stay rich no matter how much you fuck up.
He invested a lot of money into an electric car company. Anyone could tell the wind was blowing towards electric cars.
