Let’s be frank, he’s moving to TX/NV for more lax workers regulations. They were caught suppressing their workers injury reports.

They were never caught, they were alleged to have been caught. There's never been any legal action for such media reports. People forget that almost any media you hear about Tesla is backed by people with a lot of money to make by either seeing Tesla fail or seeing Tesla succeed.

  Sure, if you're having trouble taking the worker's word for it. They had 3x the OSHA violations of the top 10 auto manufacturers combined in 2019. https://www.thedrive.com/news/26727/tesla-had-3-times-as-many-osha-violations-as-the-10-largest-us-plants-combined https://www.thedrive.com/news/26727/tesla-had-3-times-as-man... Occam's Razor, is there a giant media conspiracy against a single company (whose continued existence creates content for their company) or workers rights are being infringed upon for profit.

    CALOSHA is not OSHA. You can't compare apples and oranges. > Occam's Razor, is there a giant media conspiracy against a single company (whose continued existence creates content for their company) or workers rights are being infringed upon for profit. I'd say Occam's Razor says that a company making headlines makes more money for those companies so any kind of dirt that can be found will be found no matter how insignificant.

      Not sure why you're being downvoted, you have a point. California's OSHA is definitely more strict and inclined to slap fines than other OSHAs.

    CALOSHA It would seem that the largest car manufacturer in the state would tend to be overly represented among CA car companies?.... So whats your point? How about national, or per capita stats, to back up your claim
