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 conversation on the social media platform X. The UAW claims that comments made by Trump during the discussion, which included praise for Musk's actions against striking workers, constituted illegal intimidation. The conversation reportedly faced technical difficulties but attracted significant attention, with over 1.32 million live listeners.
