- tomrod 4y agoTry setting the timeframe to search up to a few weeks ago. Maybe this one? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/feb/03/elon-musk-blogger-tesla-motors-model-x https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/feb/03/elon-musk...
- cldellow 4y agoI think not a journalist, but a journalist's source [1]. I think the facts are something like: - Martin Tripp, a Tesla employee working at the Gigafactory, leaked to a journalist that Tesla was wasting a large amount of raw material when making batteries - Tesla identified that the leak came from Tripp and fired him - Musk told the local sheriff and The Guardian that they had been tipped off that Tripp intended to come in and shoot up the factory - Tripp disputes that he wanted to shoot up the factory - Tripp was visited by police - There was a civil lawsuit from each side, Tripp ended up having to pay $400K for leaking his employer's corporate trade secrets [1]: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jun/21/tesla-whistleblower-sabotage-elon-musk-gigafactory-martin-tripp https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jun/21/tesla-whi...
