US Appeals Court Revisits Elon Musk's Controversial Anti-Union Tweet

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed to a "en banc" review of Tesla CEO Elon Musk's 2018 anti-union tweet, giving him a second chance to prove it was not an illegal threat. A three-judge panel had previously upheld a ruling that the tweet violated federal labor law, but now the full 16-judge court will re-hear the case. Musk's tweet, which stated that employees would lose stock options if they joined a union, was seen as an implied threat to discourage unionization. The case is unlikely to be decided before 2024.
