NEW YORK, April 1— A US appeals court said yesterday Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk violated federal labour law by tweeting that employees of the electric vehicle maker would lose stock options if they joined a union.

Amid an organising campaign at Tesla’s Fremont, California, plant by the United Auto Workers union, Musk tweeted: “Nothing stopping Tesla team at our car plant from voting union...
