Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday brushed off efforts by workers at his California factory to unionize, insisting that joining the United Automobile Workers would yield no benefits. “There are really only disadvantages for someone to want the UAW here,” Musk said during a call discussing Tesla’s earnings with analysts and investors. The worker, Jose Moran, 43, and the UAW both denied he was paid by the union. “There is quite a strong effort by the UAW to unionize Tesla,” Musk said Wednesday. “Preventable injuries happen often,” wrote Moran, who has worked at the Fremont, California, assembly plant since 2012.
