A series of tweets from various sources and individuals have highlighted a growing concern over corporate America's efforts, led by Elon Musk, to undermine the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the rights of workers. These actions are seen as an attack on the New Deal order, established by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and the achievements of the labor movement. Critics, including Ben Burgis in COMPACT and Sohrab Ahmari in his 'American Affairs' column for The New Statesman, argue this represents a significant threat to organized labor, calling for a radical response, including the possibility of wildcat strikes and general mobilizations, to protect workers' rights. Companies like SpaceX, Amazon, and Trader Joe's have been specifically mentioned as part of this effort to dismantle the NLRB.

SpaceX, Amazon, and Trader Joe's are trying to dismantle the National Labor Relations Board, the linchpin of workers' rights in America. @BenBurgis on this frontal assault on what remains of the New Deal: https://t.co/5a0T0wO15j
“If anyone is engaged in ‘tyranny’ in these situations, it’s the employers in question.” Read @BenBurgis latest piece in COMPACT: https://t.co/Bpw3kDEY6m
Elon Musk's threat to the @NLRB should be taken as an opportunity by labor leaders to renew the radicalism that helped bring about the New Deal in the first place. Imagine the return of wildcat strikes, general mobilizations, and the like! https://t.co/ryC2f3oo3H
Musk and his allies aim to tear down Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal order and the hard-won achievements of the labour movement, victories sealed with the blood and tears of untold workers. It’s a moment of danger for organized labor. My latest. https://t.co/ryC2f3oo3H
