Tesla should crush pesky swedish unions, no matter what. Buy ports, buy ships, buy trucks, buy electricians, buy a brand new postal service etc. The $26 B cash on hand should be used somewhere, instead of usual executive package and share buyback. Edit:- If my comment is not as per HN guidelines, I am willing to delete it.

Yup, squashing worker rights for corporations everywhere sounds like a good way of spending $26B. > Edit:- If my comment is not as per HN guidelines, I am willing to delete it. Why don't you try to read the guidelines before posting, if you think you might be breaking some guideline? But no, you're getting downvoted not because of breaking the rules, but because of the horrible opinion and lack of care of the common worker.

Why?

This is one of these cases where one would assume that it's a joke, but because Naughty Old Mr Car is involved, Poe's Law is in full effect. So, assuming you're serious... Eh? Tesla shareholder meeting, 2024. "We're going to spend 26 billion dollars on attempting to build a parallel economy in Sweden." ".... Why?" "Oh, spite, mostly." How do you think that would go over?

That’s cute Go and try that somewhere else where it might work. We don’t need any Tesla / douchemobiles here.

So the first thing I think of here is Toys'R'Us when they tried to break their strikes. Banks stopped processing payments. So if they did try this, they would be unable to pay for any of those things! Plus most employees like their unions. They offer a lot of perks beyond what companies offer. So they'd probably not find any staff.

I'm sure the shareholders will agree that spending so much money on something so obviously unprofitable is a good idea. Spending 0 dollars on just fucking signing the contract like literally everyone else in the country, or several billions trying to construct a parallel society in Sweden. This parallel society would of course have just as much right to strike as the current one, given that the right to strike is constitutionally protected in Sweden. I guess it would be an effective way of dethroning Elon from Tesla, so I agree - let's go ahead and do it.
