Federal court to revisit ruling that Elon Musk tweet about unions violated labor law

A federal appeals court will reconsider its decision that Elon Musk unlawfully threatened Tesla employees' stock options in a 2018 tweet regarding unionization efforts.
The court previously upheld a NLRB order to delete the tweet and rehire a fired Tesla employee with back pay.
Tesla argues the earlier ruling conflicts with free speech protections and the employee was properly terminated.
The case originated from UAW efforts to organize workers at a Tesla facility before Musk acquired Twitter in 2022.
A new decision is not expected until 2024 as the full 16-judge appeals court will revisit the matter.
