  2. shouldnt be hard to find. he just needs to ASK THE LOCAL UNION

  3. “Just sign the contract. That’ll be 2.4 million, thank you”.

    edit: oh wait… he is hiring LOBBYISTS and trying to change the Nordic instead of just signing the contract that doesn’t cost him anything. He is escalating this and creating so much bad blood between the Nordics and Elon Inc…

    >[According to a job posting on Tesla’s website](https://www.tesla.com/careers/search/job/public-policy-and-business-development-manager-nordics-214707), the company is now seeking an “all-round Stockholm- or Oslo-based Nordics public policy and business development manager,” whose role will be to **ensure that the “political, regulatory and fiscal frameworks” in the Nordics “support Tesla’s mission.”**

    If he was looking for someone that could guide how to work within the system it would be opposite, that Tesla’s mission is in accordance with the regulatory etc…

  4. This is very scary. If more places dont get on this union thing. It will be very easy for elons to crush it all to fuck.

  5. I just couldn’t resist the headline:

    “Tesla hiring Nordic policy expert as ‘WWE-like standoff’ with unions intensifies.”

  6. Jesus, what a dumb hill to die on. I will always be blown away about how he went from rocket guy, which everyone thought was a bit odd but cool, to this. How to ruin global public opinion in 5 simple steps.

  7. He doesn’t understand agile Nordic democracy, he is looking for a loophole. Any loophole found would get closed 3-6 months later with wide support from most people in society.

  8. Lol. Management probably know it’s a lost cause, but doesn’t dare to defy elons edicts, but got to do *something* in order to look like there’s movement.

  9. Man, even nordic capitalists (investors) are turning away from your company, what do you believe ?

  10. Musk is the fucking idiot that the Italian right wing decided to give a welcome nothing short of a Messiah at their big stupid party for ~~fascist youth kids~~ oops, young right wing party hopefuls. It’s no wonder that the Italian minister of transport is such a big fan of his, the Italian government has repeatedly cut short public transport strikes, they would love to copy Musk’s way of “dealing” with the unions.

  11. Pretty sure a Nordic policy expert would tell him to stop being a dick and work with the unions like every other company operating at Tesla’s scale in the Nordics.

  12. Isn’t it too late to learn Nordic mythology after you pissed on Thor’s sanctuary?

  13. This “expert” has experience from where in how to deal with Nordic unions?

    Over time the foreign chains eventually make a collective agreement, because it is simply the easiest way to deal with and prevent potential employer/worker conflicts.

  14. Oh! Elon I am right here. Hire me for 500k/year and I’ll tell you to pay the workers.

  15. Get Elon out of Tesla. His time is over as CEO, exceptional achievements to build this company but he’s becoming a liability.

  16. damn he’s still stupid enough to union bust in the nordics…

  17. Next week:

    “Nordic Policy Expert Union announces measures against Tesla.”

  18. It’s a shrink for they manchild of a president they should hire…

    Or just someone whose sole job would be to slap him in the face when he’s being a dick.

  19. You don’t. That is 1 million dollars for my services, thanks.

  20. Can’t wait until big boy Elon realises that he stepped in the wrong ant’s nest. Either he will run away or cave in, unions are the people and the Nordic countries are all functional democracies.

    Military invasion is the only way Elon can win this, and I’m fairly confident that Vladimir isn’t ready to die on that hill for his far right friend.

  21. Oh sweet summer child, Elmo… you have no idea how union busting is going to work here. It’s not going to.

  22. I can tell you how to deal with the unions for 40 billion dollarydoos…
