SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies that at high energies, the electromagnetic and weak forces unify into the electroweak force, but electrons still generate an electrostatic field. This means that even under these conditions, electrons do not lose their ability to repel each other due to electrostatic interactions. The concept of the electroweak force does not negate the fundamental properties of electrons in terms of electrostatics.
