At the end of the day, a billionaire's primary ideology is money. Signing the contract, after failing to defeat the unions, will make him the most money at the end of the day, so I suspect that he will sign it.
Unless he feels like exiting the Swedish, Norwegian and German markets, of course.
while corporate ideology is money, there’s absolutely no thought put into it – immediate profits always trump long term savings – new customers are gold, customer retention is anathema – we’ve already seen multiple companies that would happily block entire countries rather than play nice – and Elon has proven himself far more infantile and narcissistic than anything we’ve seen before
You're forgetting that he's also a narcissist who will waste money on points of pride, like the whole Twitter thing.
Like a certain other (allegedly) billionaire narcissist, he's obsessed with enriching himself but even more obsessed with trying to appear strong and smart and right about everything.
The primary ideology is not money all the time, though. Musk showed us that with Twitter quite well. His ego can get in the way of his profits.
