If Tesla gets unionized it’s because we deserve it (www.yahoo.com)

I am a big fan of Tesla. The cars are amazing. Generally I respect Elon, who has a track record of success. I support unions but I would never join one.

I think this is the best quote from the article.

“I don’t know, maybe they will unionize,” he mused. “If Tesla gets unionized it will be because we deserved it, and because we failed in some way.”

Elon has made many employees rich. If they unionize, they jeopardize the benefits that made them rich. I can't see the company agreeing to be as generous when dealing with a union.

Unions predate Marxism.

The second paragraph I agree with. There needs to be a balance from both sides. I don't work for Tesla, but I have friends who became rich working for Tesla. They did say the problem is you are pushed hard, you are working on interesting stuff, but the stress is unreal. My friend worked there for 5 years and walked away with about 5 million dollars. As such you can say he was rewarded well for his time. THe problem is after 5 years he just couldn't do it anymore.
