Hotbed of Misinformation (Tesla lawsuit. Musk responds)
Tesla.com ^ | 11-14-17 | Tesla Team

Posted on 11/15/2017 5:48:40 PM PST by dynachrome

There are a number of other false statements in the class action lawsuit alleging a so-called “hotbed of discrimination”:

- There is only one actual plaintiff (Marcus Vaughn), not 100. The reference to 100 is a complete fabrication with no basis in fact at all.

- The plaintiff was employed by a temp agency, not by Tesla as claimed in the lawsuit.

- Marcus was not fired, he was on a six month temp contract that simply ended as contracted.

- His email to Elon was about his commute and Tesla’s shuttles, which was addressed as he requested. There was no mention of racial discrimination whatsoever.

- The trial lawyer who filed this lawsuit has a long track record of extorting money for meritless claims and using the threat of media attacks and expensive trial costs to get companies to settle. At Tesla, we would rather pay ten times the settlement demand in legal fees and fight to the ends of the Earth than give in to extortion and allow this abuse of the legal system.

He thought he was safe, as a good little progressive.

“Get thick skinned, don’t be jerk.” Doesn’t matter to the entitled.

He still kinda is safe, given that he can just use taxpayer subsidies to fight it, and and taxpayer subsidies to pay off, if necessary.

Won’t cost him one dime of his own.

There is talk of removing the subsidies (as they should be).

The “do what would make your parents proud” is not as reliable a standard of behavior as one might hope. Given that there are so many millions of liberals and plenty of scumbags of many descriptions, not everyone should do what their parents would want them to do. Imagine that Maxine Waters or Harvey Weinstein is your parent..... DO NOT DO what would make them proud!!!!

Musk’s real problem is with the laws of physics. He also has difficulty actually making cars.

I read it, and he's kind of all over the place.

Yes, he HAD to include the requisite pandering to minorities stuff, but at the end, he almost sounded "conservative".

As in, we expect excellence at Tesla, if you can't cut the mustard, we don't want you here.

And don't go crying to mommy when you just aren't doing the job I hired you to do.

“alleging use of racial language, including the “n-word” and “w-word,” towards each other...”

“w-word” Wuss? Sounds like a bunch of snowflakes working there...definitely.

Cultists work there, Elon is their god. The few that I met were seriously indoctrinated. Trying to get us to “buy in” on a sunny beach in the USVI.
very odd experience, I have worried about that couple for years.

They talked about “Elon” like he was Daddy.

Musk does seem to have the laws of physics down pretty well with SpaceX.
