<p>Billionaire tech executive <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> shot back at the United Auto Works (UAW) on Tuesday after the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/labor-unions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">union</a> filed labor charges against him and former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>.</p>
<p>During the Monday evening discussion <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamala-attacks-elon-as-lackey-for-team-maga-team-trump-fires-back-during-x-spaces-chat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on X Spaces</a>, Trump <a href="https://x.com/RealSaavedra/status/1823197760830451955" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> Musk &#8220;the greatest cutter&#8221; and touted him as someone who fires employees going on strike. Musk laughed and responded, &#8220;Yeah,&#8221; as Trump spoke.</p>
<p>Although he declined to mention a specific company, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/13/musk-trump-uaw-labor-union-x-interview.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Trump had been referring to a time when Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-stressful-situation-elon-musk-has-fired-more-than-80-of-twitter-staff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fired a great deal of the staff</a> at Twitter, the social media platform he purchased in 2022 and rebranded as X.</p>
<p>The UAW, in response to the exchange, <a href="https://uaw.org/uaw-files-federal-labor-charges-against-donald-trump-and-elon-musk-for-attempting-to-intimidate-and-threaten-workers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that it had filed federal labor charges against Musk and Trump for allegedly making illegal attempts to threaten and intimidate workers engaging in protected activity.</p>
<p>CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/13/business/uaw-trump-musk-charges/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) would investigate the labor union&#8217;s charges and could help settle the case if wrongdoing is found, and might even sue Trump and Musk on behalf of UAW.</p>

<p>On X, remarking on a post about the labor charges and featuring a photo of UAW President Shawn Fain, Musk suggested the union boss may end up incarcerated for criminal activity.</p>
<p>&#8220;The last two UAW presidents went to prison for bribery &amp; corruption and, based on recent news, it looks like this guy will join them!&#8221; Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1823376901001420917" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quipped</a>.</p>

<p>Gary Jones and Dennis Williams are two former UAW presidents who <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/10/second-uaw-president-sentenced-to-prison-in-union-corruption-probe.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">received prison time</a> for a corruption scheme; however, they are not Fain&#8217;s direct predecessors in leading the union.</p>
<p>The UAW recently <a href="https://uaw.org/everything-the-working-class-has-ever-won-weve-had-to-fight-for-uaw-releases-new-video-endorsing-kamala-harris-for-president/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">endorsed</a> Trump&#8217;s rival in the 2024 race, Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a>. Earlier this year, Trump said Fain should be fired and insisted that <a href="https://www.wxyz.com/news/trump-says-uaw-president-shawn-fain-should-be-fired-fain-fires-back" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;every single&#8221;</a> auto worker should be voting for him.</p>
<p>Musk, whose other companies, <a href="https://fortune.com/2023/11/27/tesla-sweden-lawsuit-labor-unions-postal-workers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla</a> and <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/16/amazon-and-spacex-are-quietly-trying-to-demolish-national-labor-law/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SpaceX,</a> have clashed with the NLRB and Big Labor, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-bill-ackman-endorse-trump-after-left-wing-donor-attempts-assassination" target="_blank" rel="noopener">endorsed</a> Trump last month after the former president survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>The comment about firing employees came up during the X Spaces talk on Monday, right after Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-hed-love-to-have-elon-musk-lead-new-proposed-government-commission" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said he would &#8220;love&#8221;</a> for Musk to help out with a prospective Government Efficiency Commission to cut wasteful spending.</p>
