Whistleblowers becoming active after they have been fired are often ascribed retaliatory motives, but there's an interesting tidbit towards the middle:
> Walmart in a 2019 lawsuit against Tesla said the latter's roof solar system led to seven store fires.

- simion314 5y agoFrom my reading >Henkes, in the SEC complaint, said he told Tesla management that Tesla needs to shut down the fire-prone solar systems, report to safety regulators and notify consumers. it appears this person did not stayed quiet and only start speaking after getting fired, he did the right thing and was fired because of that(allegedly).
- tyingq 5y ago>Whistleblowers becoming active after they have been fired are often ascribed retaliatory motives They are also often fired for complaining internally about the thing they whistleblow about after being fired...
- ckastner 5y agoIndeed. Just to be clear, the internal complaint preceding the firing is apparently documented, and I did not mean to imply any particular motive. On the contrary: I found the that an otherwise unconnected third party, Walmart no less, would sue over this very supportive of the claim.

I certainly would err on the sides of believing the whistleblower, especially given that my former employer’s Tesla spontaneously burst into flames while his two kids were in the back seat. Fortunately he was able to get them out on time, but I can’t even imagine.
