trump is so desperate to garner Musk's support that he is acknowledging illegal acts in public. He is boasting about Musk firing workers who threaten to strike. But that will not stop trump from kissing the ring of Elon. Well, he will be investigated. Can you imagine...? Two billionaires sitting around bragging about firing workers? trump is killing his campaign.
“I won’t mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and you say, ‘That’s OK, you’re all gone. You’re all gone. So, every one of you is gone,’” Trump said.
Trump was referring to the 2022 gutting of Twitter staff after Musk took over the social media business and renamed it X.
It is illegal to fire workers who threaten to strike, because the right to strike is protected under federal labor law.
“When we say Donald Trump is a scab, this is what we mean,” UAW President Shawn Fain said Tuesday in a statement on the new charges. “When we say Trump stands against everything our union stands for, this is what we mean.”
