Elon Musk hasn’t been sighted at the picket lines in Missouri, Ohio, or Michigan, where autoworkers are striking against the Big Three US carmakers. Yet the influence of Musk and his non-unionized company Tesla have been everywhere since the United Auto Workers called the strike last week. In some ways, Tesla—the world’s most valuable automaker by market capitalization—set the whole thing in motion.
Tesla’s pioneering electric vehicles kicked off a new era that has turned the entire auto industry on its head. In a scramble to compete with Tesla and make that transition, the legacy automakers targeted by the current strike, General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis, have each pledged billions in global investment and have begun dramatically restructuring their operations. For workers, the “green jobs” being created can be scarcer and worse paying. Electric vehicle powertrains have many fewer moving parts than conventional gas-powered ones, and so they require 30 percent fewer vehicle assembly hours, according to one estimate. Plants that make EV batteries are generally outside the core, unionized auto supply chain. The United Auto Workers has seen a dramatic drop in membership due to jobs moving outside the US—it lost 45 percent of its members between 2001 and 2022. A future with more electric vehicles could mean fewer union jobs overall. “This strike is about electrification,” says Mark Barrott, an automotive analyst at the Michigan-based consultancy Plante Moran.
The new assembly plants that the legacy automakers need to pull off the transition have been stood up mostly in US states hostile to union organizing, such as Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama. And because many of these plants are joint ventures between automakers and foreign battery companies, they are not subject to previous union contracts.
The UAW did not respond to a request for comment, but UAW president Shawn Fain told CNBC last week that the electric transition can’t leave workers behind. “Workers deserve their share of equity in this economy,” he said.
Tesla’s rise over recent years has also put ever-ratcheting pressure on the legacy automakers to cut costs. Including benefits, Musk’s non-unionized EV company spends $45 per hour on labor, significantly less than the $63 per hour spent in the Big Three, according to industry analysts.
Musk’s willingness to upend auto manufacturing shibboleths has also forced his legacy competitors to seek new efficiencies. Tesla led the way in building large-scale car casts, stamping out very large metal components in one go rather than making a series of small casts that have to be joined together. And it pioneered an automotive chassis building process that can be easily adapted to produce different makes and models.
Tesla’s Silicon Valley roots also helped it become the first automaker to envision the car as a software-first, iPhone-like “platform” that can be modified via over-the-air updates. And the company aims to automate more of its factories, and extract more of the materials it needs to build its batteries itself.
Tesla’s novel production ideas could soon lead the company to put even more pressure on legacy automakers. Musk said earlier this year that Tesla plans to build a new, smaller vehicle that can be made for half the production cost of its most popular (and cheapest) vehicle, the Model 3.
Musk says a lot of things, and many don’t come to pass. (The world is still waiting for the 1 million Tesla robotaxis promised by the end of 2020.) But Tesla has been disruptive enough to leave legacy automakers, including Detroit’s Big Three, “in a quest for capital,” says Marick Masters, who studies labor and workplace issues at Wayne State University's School of Business. Detroit’s automakers have made good money in the past decade—some $250 billion in profits—but also paid a significant chunk of it out in dividends. Pressure from Tesla and the EV transition it catalyzed has left them feeling as if they need every penny they can corral to keep afloat as the industry changes.
“They have little money to concede for union demands,” says Masters. The UAW’s wants include significantly higher wages, especially for workers who have joined the companies since their Great Recession and bankruptcy-era reorganizations, which left some with less pay and reduced pension and health benefits.
So far, the UAW has shown little patience for the idea that the automakers it is pressuring are cash-strapped and under competitive pressure. “Competition is a code word for race to the bottom, and I'm not concerned about Elon Musk building more rocket ships so he can fly into outer space and stuff,” UAW president Fain told CNBC last week when asked about pressure from Tesla. He has argued that production workers should receive the same pay raise received by auto executives over recent years.
When automakers have taken the opposite tack, insisting that they’re well capitalized and making plans to put them ahead of the electric car maker—well, that set up conditions for this strike too. The three American automakers are forecasted to make $32 billion in profits this year, a slight dip from last year’s 10-year high. “The more they toot their own horns about profitability, the more the union looks at them and says, ‘We want our rightful share,’” says Masters.
Tesla did not respond to a request for comment, but Musk has, in typical fashion, chimed in. He posted on X last week to compare working conditions at his companies with the competition, apparently seeking to turn the dispute he helped foment into a recruiting pitch. “Tesla and SpaceX factories have a great vibe. We encourage playing music and having some fun,” he wrote. “We pay more than the UAW btw, but performance expectations are also higher.” A UAW attempt to organize Tesla workers in 2017 and 2018, as the company struggled to produce its Model 3, failed. The National Labor Board ruled that Tesla violated labor laws during the organizing drive; the carmaker has appealed the decision.

My neighbours just sold their six year old Tesla and bought a brand new Polestar to replace it. Polestar is Volvo’s electric car.
They explicitly did this because they were embarrassed to be seen driving a Tesla in these times. Not because there was something wrong with the car itself. It was working fine.
Now, these neighbours aren’t hurting for money. They’re both junior corporate lawyers. But they’re patriotic Canadians and Elon Musk disgusts them. They also thought they’d better sell their Tesla now, before the whole Tesla owning community of Canada gets in on it, and the resale value drops significantly. That’s where the lawyer part comes in, I suspect.
One of the oddities of the Vancouver, Canada real estate market is that prices have hit the stratosphere since 2000, when they first started climbing.
I bought a fixer upper one bedroom apartment in this building in 2002, so over 20 years ago, for slightly less than $100,000 CAD. I was extraordinarily lucky to get in when I did, and wouldn’t have if my abusive grandfather hadn’t left me $17,000 CAD in his will, which served as my downpayment on the mortgage. I was 26, I had no savings. In 2025, you couldn’t even buy a parking space in Vancouver for less than $100,000 CAD!
The junior corporate lawyers who just bought the Polestar and jettisoned their Tesla bought into the building in 2022, and I believe paid about $700,000 CAD for their two bedroom unit.
The neighbourhood and the building have changed significantly since 2002 when I moved in. Then it was mostly blue collar workers, nurses, and teachers. Now it’s corporate lawyers with money to buy a Polestar. And they put a sign for the Conservative Party in their window at the last provincial election. So not exactly bleeding heart liberals. But at least they don’t like Elon Musk.
So Elon and Tesla have lost even the corporate lawyers.

DOGE will be a testament to how government agencies are efficient and free of fraud.
Naming his fictional agency after a meme crypto coin will be a testament to Elon Musk's fraud and inefficiency as his highly-subsidized companies enter extinction.

Why Tesla Has the Lowest Maintenance Cost! Why!  Tesla ranks lowest in average 10-year maintenance costs at just $5,050, landing in 15th place. Why so low? It all comes down to the simplicity of electric vehicles. With far fewer moving parts than traditional gas cars, EVs like Tesla require less maintenance, fewer repairs, and less frequent servicing. Simpler powertrains = lower costs. Fascinating, right?
