"Pablo Escobar’s brother recently demanded $100 million in cash or Tesla shares from Musk for purportedly stealing his flamethrower idea, but the Escobars are Colombian."
(Edit: sorry, didn't see the first part where it is stated that the lawsuit includes Mexican nationals. But, I still think it's crazy that this is included in an article about Tesla and whistleblowers)
- PhantomGremlin 7y agoIt's not clear from your one word comment exactly what you're "whatting" about. Perhaps it's the silliness of the demand. Perhaps it's the "Colombian" thing at the end? If it's the Colombian bit, what you didn't quote makes clear what's happening. The lawsuit alleges links to a Mexican drug cartel. The Colombian comment at the end was to make clear that the Escobars are (allegedly) part of a different drug cartel. Here's the full paragraph: Paragraphs 16 through 19 of the lawsuit identify thefts ranging between $37 and $150 million dollars, along with links to a Mexican drug cartel.
