Another not a racist billionaire, who's not really a good guy but I'd work for him because he's rich and that's what counts.
Morals are second to wealth.
The suits against Tesla are two of many facing the company and its chief executive, Elon Musk. Investors at Twitter announced a suit against Musk last week regarding his recent investments in the company. The US Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating Musk and his brother for insider trading. On Friday, a judge settled another suit against Musk, ruling he had falsely claimed he had funds to take the company private in 2018.
It is also not the first time Tesla has been accused of tolerating egregious discrimination at the Fremont plant. In 2017 it faced a class action suit regarding widespread racism at the factory, and a jury in 2021 ruled in favor of a former employee who alleged discrimination and was awarded $130m in damages.
A federal judge in California last week awarded $15m to a former Tesla elevator operator in a racial bias case. The judge slashed a $137m jury verdict but said the plaintiff had shown ample evidence of racial abuse and Tesla’s failure to address it.
