Occupy Tesla? Live with Hamilton Nolan

We have just spoken to the Labor journalist Hamilton Nolan and 1,600 ink readers about the #Teslatakedown Movement and a real, practical plan to take $ 100 billion From Elon Musk's bank account.

As Nolan told us, Tesla's share is very overvalued – it is not based on the value of the cars or factories, but on public expectations of the future explosive growth. And that is a great opportunity to change things because these expectations are simply beliefs in Musk's genius, based on a story that ultimately has the public – and the public can take away, protest, speak and participate in all possible From things that you can find out by a visit Tesla Takedown. Change the story enough, and when people buy a car, you will buy something else that means making him.

We spoke to Nolan – the editor of How things workand author of the new book Hammer, power, inequality and the struggle for the soul of work – Not only about Tesla, but also about the many challenges that the workers' movement faces in the 21st century, from entrepreneurs of the GIG economy, which ended an end to the regulations of the union regulations by the AI, which threaten to take the jobs of millions , and about the hope and the possibility of taking work solidarity. And we talked about the kind of changes that people can work together at that moment. Taking Elon Musks away is only the beginning.

“The bad people who are currently responsible are not that smart,” emphasized Nolan. “So there is no reason why we cannot step into them.”
