Given that one of Donald Trump's longest-running jobs involved sitting in front of a camera and telling strangers to their face that they are fired, it makes sense that he would be a huge fan of layoffs. This fact became apparent yesterday, during Trump's interminable conversation with Elon Musk on Musk's platform X. Amidst the hours-long rhetorical marathon, Trump, at one point, went off about how great it is to fire people, referring to Elon as one of the best fire-ers (or, in his words, "cutters") of them all: "You're the greatest cutter," Trump said, of Musk. "I mean, I look at what you do. You walk in, you just say: 'You want to quit?' They go on strike—I won't mention the name of the company—but they go on strike. And you say: 'That's okay, you're all gone.'"

Now, as with other times when Trump has blabbed indiscriminately, there may be consequences. In response to Trump's dumb, mean-spirited remarks, the United Auto Workers union, which protects manufacturing workers at major car companies, has filed a federal complaint against both Musk and Trump. Though it seems unlikely that Trump is up to date on federal labor laws, he really should know that it is illegal to fire workers (or threaten to fire them) for striking. As such, Trump's comments could quite easily be construed as worker intimidation.

"When we say Donald Trump is a scab, this is what we mean," said UAW President Shawn Fain, in a statement. "When we say Trump stands against everything our union stands for, this is what we mean. Donald Trump will always side against workers standing up for themselves, and he will always side with billionaires like Elon Musk, who is contributing $45 million a month to a Super PAC to get him elected. Both Trump and Musk want working-class people to sit down and shut up, and they laugh about it openly. It's disgusting, illegal, and totally predictable from these two clowns."

It will interesting to see how the UAW law suit against Trump and Musk for worker intimidation works out.

Trump has never been pro-worker, except when it comes to his campaign rhetoric. During his years as a business and real estate mogul, Trump was widely known for treating workers like shit.

With all of the above, Trump will still get some rank and file votes.

I want to see Elon Musk get arrested.  He and Trump have incited more hate and chaos to the planet.  They truely do vibrate "civil war".

Two billionaires who want the government to bow to them. Some of the things Trump said I agree with most of what they discussed was weird.
