The action was brought by the United Auto Workers after staff tried to unionize at Tesla's factory in Fremont, California.
"Nothing stopping Tesla team at our car plant from voting union. Could do so tmrw if they wanted. But why pay union dues & give up stock options for nothing? Our safety record is 2X better than when plant was UAW & everybody already gets healthcare," Musk tweeted.
