In the lawsuit filed in federal court, Tesla accused former Gigafactory employee Tripp of unlawfully hacking into the company’s “confidential and trade secret information” and transferring “that information to third parties.” Is Tesla Trying To Make An Example Of Tripp?
How Tesla Found Out Not exactly a point to the alleged sabotage itself, but a question I’ve been wondering is how Tesla found out. The automaker hasn’t responded to questions about what tipped them off to Tripp, but a story from Business Insider earlier this month offers a possible hint: We sent Tesla an identification number for one of the cars, and the company would neither confirm nor deny that the piece was in a finished vehicl

Would anyone in their right mind drive a Tesla home in a rainstorm, park it in an attached garage with their bedroom above it, plug it in to recharge and then go to bed? Musk is pushing M3 production and the stock has been paralleling his production figures which he hopes to be 5,000 vehicles per week.

Musk has a cult like following and IMHO any investment in this company is very risky.
Electric vehicles beg the question of the impact on the quantity and price of electric power...deep stuff...and definitely not priced into his insanely priced stock.

Comrade Musk failed to read the training manual when he signed onto the Socialist party. This is how Socialism operates, Mr. Musk.
If corporates proprietary secrets were stolen, that is espionage not sabotage.
Great Musk-bashing comments on this thread:
