From a previous discussion: https://www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2021/09/21/when-mcdonal...

“Truckers refused to deliver food and beer to McDonalds.“ Beer?

McDonalds doesn’t do beer in Sweden anymore but Burger King will happily sell you a Pripps Blå or an alcohol-free Mikkeller.

Elon acting like a true South African born in the 80's. Niemand gaan my fokken vertel nie :). Die Blerrie Commies. Translation - Nobody is going to tell me how to do things. Esp Bloody Socialists.

He is the richest man in the world with many excellent companies. Seems to be working well for him.

Sabotage would be self-sabotage + criminal investigation. Also, "the beatings will continue until morale improves" is a common tongue-in-cheek saying; morale will improve if working conditions do, not by removing people until whoever is left just sucks it up.

It's understandable that swedish language sources don't know this, but the English word for 'strikebreakers' is 'scabs.'

Scabs is quite pejorative though, I had always assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that it's usual usage is to insult.

Socialists are a scourge. Source: I'm Spanish.

I have to say I don't understand Elon's (Tesla's) reaction here. Surely he was advised on Swedish and EU laws and how things work over here before he decided to do business in Sweden?

Maybe, but why do you think he would care?

This works if you read it in Trumps voice.

I take it you missed the part where he shot his mouth off in public about buying Twitter and then got dragged into court and forced to actually buy it.
