If they were up against a competent c-suite, this would be a failed effort from the start.

"cybertruck" is going to be a massive flop and and an embarassment and that is a perfect opportunity to "downsize" and have a semi-legit reason to fire anyone who doesn't spit with enough vigor at any calls for unionizing.

But acknowledging that glorified SUV is a flop is a step too far and it will be marketed as a success. Which gets rid of the cover.

I have no idea if UAW will succeed. But I think we are looking at a LOT of wrongful termination lawsuits (speaking of, did the twitter ones go anywhere?) and a massive poorly executed social media campaign on a single dying site.
