The United Auto Workers (UAW) union announced on the 14th that it has begun activities across the United States to support Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Harris. The plan is to mobilize a total of 1 million union members and former members. UAW Chairman Fain and his leadership formally endorsed Harris at the end of July. Fain has also continued to criticize former Republican candidate and President Trump. The UAW filed a complaint with labor authorities over comments made by Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday, claiming that the two men intimidated workers. The UAW’s influence is particularly strong in states with large membership, such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania. All of these are battleground states that could determine the outcome of the presidential election. In the 2020 presidential election, UAW members accounted for 9.2% of President Biden’s votes in Michigan alone. The UAW has not disclosed how much money it is putting into the campaign, but people familiar with the matter say it plans to spend millions of dollars.

Musk was shocked by his son’s sex change and switched to supporting Trump, and Trump in return switched to defending electric vehicles, he started an autoworkers union and switched to supporting the Democrats ← here we are now.
Musk’s support for Trump is for family reasons, so he shouldn’t have defended EVs in return; his response was too ad hoc. It also contradicts the defense of the oil industry. It’s clear that Trump’s true nature is opportunistic.
They are ungrateful people, even though Trump took the lead in bashing Japan and Japanese cars during the bubble period, helping the American auto industry.
>>29 If America becomes poor and declines, Japan, its vassal protected by the Japan-US alliance, will be finished. The alliance will no longer be able to be maintained, the US military will withdraw from the Far East, and China and Russia will really invade.
There is a big difference between an incompetent person who knows they are incompetent and an incompetent person who mistakenly thinks they are competent. If Harris is the latter then he’s finished lol.
I think half of it is Elon’s fault lol. If it was Trump, they would have moved away from EV and returned to oil, but Elon spent a lot of money and changed the situation. There must be a lot of distrust in Trump, who was swayed by them.
While Musk supports decarbonization and nuclear power, Trump has expressed his negative views on nuclear power, citing the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident. Opinions were divided on climate change measures and energy policy, with some calling for increased oil production. Trump: “Abolish nuclear power!” Stupid right-winger: “That’s right, abolish nuclear power! Wearing masks is crazy, and those who support nuclear power are crazy.”
On the 14th, Reuters reported the results of a survey of Japanese companies regarding the US presidential election. According to the survey, 43% of companies responded that “Vice President Harris would be preferable” for their business strategy. Only 8% chose former President Trump.
