    What are you talking about? They have infrastructure in Germany. They can’t just hide on US land.

    I get it’s edgy to be defeatist about systems these days, but some countries actually do act and I guarantee you if shit goes down Tesla will be paying up one way or another

      Bold of you to assume I’m expressing defeatism. My point is that Tesla can and will fight it. They’ll lose eventually, sure. My hope is that the union has enough money to pay the court costs.

        The German government given the current environment with musk will likely get involved if it goes there

        IG Metall is one of the largest unions we have. They have deep pockets. Also, in Germany the losing party automatically pays court fees and their opponent’s lawyers afterwards.

        I would worry more about those workers who aren’t union members. It’s possible they’ll still help them out of principle, but they don’t have to.
