    “Musk is indeed a villain in the eyes of organized labor.”

    In this month’s Labor Pulse, Jim Castagnera ponders the potential impetus behind Elon Musk’s turn to support for Donald Trump and MAGA policies in the 2024 election, and then what Musk’s announced intention to found a “competitive” new third political party may mean for organized labor in the United States.

    “Musk being Musk,” Jim observes, “even a swing back to a pro-labor posture wouldn’t shock me.”

    To learn more about these developments, enjoy Jim’s latest Labor Pulse article, “Why Musk Became MAGA.”
