The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has filed federal labor charges against former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The charges allege that both Trump and Musk attempted to intimidate and threaten workers during a Monday night interview on Musk's social media platform, X. The UAW claims that the remarks made during the discussion, which included comments on firing striking employees, constitute illegal intimidation against workers engaging in protected labor activities. The charges were filed following an interview on X, where Trump and Musk discussed workers' rights and strikes.
