The United Auto Workers has filed federal labor charges against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk, accusing them of illegally attempting to threaten and intimidate workers who go on strike. The UAW’s complaint comes in response to comments made by Trump during a discussion with Musk Monday on the social media platform X, which Musk owns. The Wall Street Journal reports that Musk is funding a new super PAC to help Trump in swing states and return him to the White House. There have been reports Musk was planning to spend $45 million a month to help elect Trump, but Musk has disputed that figure. Reporter Dana Mattioli says it’s the culmination of Musk’s “remarkable political transformation,” with his break from the Democratic Party largely driven by his anti-union politics and the Biden administration’s ties to the United Auto Workers.
