TL;DR Summary

A federal appeals court in New Orleans is reconsidering whether a 2018 Twitter post by Elon Musk unlawfully threatened Tesla employees with the loss of stock options if they chose union representation, with the National Labor Relations Board deeming it an illegal threat. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals initially upheld this decision, but later voted to rehear the matter, leading to a recent hearing before a panel of 17 judges. The case revolves around a tweet made during United Auto Workers organizing efforts at a Tesla facility in California, with the judges questioning whether the post, which appeared on Musk's personal account, constituted a threat to workers.
