Elon Musk famous for sacking entire department or even close down factory PERMANENTLY. Europeans will find out their current unemployment will be doubling in coming months with no money to pay for American expensive oil and gas replacement to Russian. Swede will learn they arent that special and even influential. Their train schedules really under perform if you ever experienced the Japanese one.

One of the stereotypes I have about Japan is that the rail system will be keep, to within seconds, and that the drivers sometimes commit seppuku if they're 30 seconds late.

I don't doubt that everyone else's trains "really under perform" in comparison.

As was the sentiment when Facebook said they'd pull out of Europe if forced to abide by the laws: Don't threaten us with a good time :D
You're suggesting that Naughty Old Mr Car flouncing out of Sweden in a huff would double Europe's unemployment?

How's that work?

Well, those 130 people is a really big thing. Another company in Sweden just got a strike on their hand. That company has 2000 employees and is hardly mentioned on the news while everyone is talking about Tesla :-)
What a strange little person you are; I would like to get to know you better and try to understand you
