Tesla isn't dumb. I'm sure their HR consulted their lawyers and evaluated the risk.

But I'm positive that benefits of the chilling effect sacking a few pro-union employees had were far greater than whatever pittance they would pay to the NLRB and those employees were to Tesla.

Think of how expensive a union drive would be to a company that's already plummeting in value. I don't think the NLRB can just step in and shut down a company either.

Elon doesn’t strike me as a person who thinks his actions through. Seems more of a shoot from the hip kinda person.

I said "Tesla" and not Elon intentionally. If he's got enough bandwidth to be the CEO of several companies, he's not really involved in any of them. Plus his current shiny thing is getting more people on Twitter to see his posts.
