Musk has previously denied the claims on Twitter, saying there was "nothing stopping" his employees from voting to be in a union.
@dmatkins137 @ShayneRarma @NASA Nothing stopping Tesla team at our car plant from voting union. Could do so tmrw if they wanted. But why pay union dues & give up stock options for nothing? Our safety record is 2X better than when plant was UAW & everybody already gets healthcare.
The union tweet was just one of many that Boucher has now deleted, saying the conversation was "way too nuanced" to have over Twitter, and that she would rather debate "in an organized way."
@cocteau_twinks @jcfrancisco @thefader hm.. deleting my tweets abt this shit bc this is way too nuanced of a convo to have over twitter. again, down to hash out in ama later, down to hear opinions. in any case love and respect to all. plz try to see me as a human being an not just an extension of another person 🖤
Other tweets from the artist defending her relationship with Musk are still up; however, she did make the point that who she's dating "is irrelevant to my music."
@cocteau_twinks @jcfrancisco @thefader that said i respect yalls commitment to social justice. we all gotta work to make the world better,, i’ll stay on my game too.don’t wanna answer more questions cuz who i’m dating is irrelevant to my music lol, speaking of gotta get back 2 work 🖤🖤🖤😥
People definitely had thoughts about the Monday night tweets.
As a music fan, it's amazing I could follow Grimes from her "DIY" phase to her "defending Elon Musk for union busting" phase
“Grimes defends boyfriend Elon Musk from union-busting accusations” is definitely up there in terms of extremely 2018 things
bro grimes is like a 35 year old white woman who is a millionaire. there's a way bigger chance she's going to start tweeting in Sperrys and Madwell in a month versus changing elon musk's mind on unions
ELON MUSK: *running onto the Tesla factory floor and pulling the huge EMERGENCY STOP lever* okay. everybody listen up. my girlfriends outside and you HAVE to tell her i didnt discourage you from unionizing. FOREMAN: wait wh ELON: guys she’s RIGHT OUTSIDE
At the very least, Boucher hinted at new music being on the way. So that's fun.
