Lotta, you're quick with your influencer comparison, but the Audi boss has thousands of jobs in Ingolstadt on his back, and those jobs aren't on Instagram. And Ms. Fuß, who actually gave you permission to accuse me of smirking? That's defamation, I'm looking into legal action, and I'm doing it immediately!

General Streik
Otto, anyone who wants to defend jobs in Ingolstadt has to stand tall and meet people eye to eye, rather than presenting himself like a recruit standing in front of the drill sergeant. Pragmatism is no license to kneel, and a boss who lets himself be photographed like a supplicant has already lost the negotiation before the first contract lands on the table. Backbone is shown in the fight, not just in the photo.

Otto, if we're talking lawyers, let's hope they're working on the tariffs, which should be giving an Audi boss more headaches than a photo with Trump. And General Streik is right: anyone standing next to Trump looks like someone about to sign a deal nobody has read. I'd love to know whether Ingolstadt ends up getting more out of the handshake or out of an actual negotiating strategy.
