Threat or not? Elon Musk gets new hearing on tweet about Tesla workers' stock amid UAW union effort

A federal appeals court will reconsider its March ruling that Tesla CEO Elon Musk unlawfully threatened employees with a loss of stock options in a 2018 Twitter post. That post was made amid an organizing effort by the United Auto Workers. Three judges on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had upheld a National Labor Relations Board order to delete the tweet. The panel also upheld an order to rehire a Tesla employee who had been fired. But Friday’s brief order says a majority of the court’s judges voted for a rehearing before the full court, currently with 16 full-time judges.
