Musk has previously called the Swedish strike "insane". His company has stood by its policy of not agreeing to collective bargaining and said that its employees in Sweden already have similar terms to what their union has called for.

He still doesn't get it, does he?

Having a union agreement is not about the compensation. It's about the right to negotiate the working terms.

His employees everywhere, do not have the right to negotiate anything.

They do not have similar terms, even if he pays more and makes pizza parties. It's not about that at all.

It's not about money. He has enough of that. The Swedish employees have enough of that. It doesn't matter what the compensation is. It's all about the rights to have a say in your own employment. He won't give that away, because he wants to rule like a dictator.

I hope that some day he will understand it. But I will not be disappointed if he decides to fuck off out of Europe altogether, because he's not at all fit to run a company here.

And he said

I disagree with the idea of unions. I just don’t like anything which creates a lords-and-peasants kind of thing.

By not having unions, he exactly creates the lords-and-peasants kind of thing.

There are no class differences! You're not workers, you're the same as me, the billionaire emerald mine kid. Why would you make yourself feel less by being in some kind of lords-and-peasants union? Wow I'm so smart!!

Fuck I hate this piece as shit and I hope he just dies soon.
