US Court Rules Against Tesla and Musk in Union Campaign Tweet Case

A federal appeals court upheld a finding that Tesla illegally fired an employee involved in union organizing and that Elon Musk had illegally threatened workers' stock options if they chose to unionize. The court's opinion allows the National Labor Relations Board to enforce a 2021 order requiring Tesla to reinstate the employee with back pay and for Musk to delete a Twitter post suggesting workers could lose stock options if they unionize. The finding comes as other companies run by Musk have had workers raise concerns about labor law violations.
