By CBS San Francisco Staff: PALO ALTO (CBS SF / CNN) — Elon Musk's tweets have once again come under fire from federal regulators. The National Labor Relations Board says that Bay Area-based Tesla and its CEO engaged in illegal actions against US employees trying to organize a union. One of those actions was a tweet, now three years old, in which Musk appeared to threaten to revoke employees' valuable stock options if they voted for a union. "Nothing stopping Tesla team at our car plant from voting union. Could do so tmrw if they wanted," the tweet reads. "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." Read more at CBS San Francisco
