> I'm not going to take Tesla at their word when they have an extensive history of using bogus lawsuits to intimidate people. The lawsuit wasn't bogus, and Tesla went on to win that lawsuit, with a large payout from that former employee to Tesla. I suggest having a more skeptical eye about what you read on the internet. There's a tremendous amount of very motivated reporters out there wanting to write about anything Musk related and will automatically believe any source that disparages Musk or a Musk company in some way.

These reporters have created a false impression about Musk and his companies that's now a sort of shared deception held by many such that they believe Musk companies are bad in some way and will further believe any negative news, causing a self-perpetuating cycle. It's been interesting to watch how it works over the years. https://www.reuters.com/article/tesla-court-tripp/former-tesla-employee-to-pay-400000-to-end-lawsuit-over-tips-to-reporters-idUSL1N2IH13J https://www.reuters.com/article/tesla-court-tripp/former-tes... > A former Tesla Inc factory employee will pay Elon Musk’s electric car maker $400,000 after it accused him of tipping reporters about alleged production inefficiencies and delays, a court filing shows. ... > According to the court filing, Tripp did not contest Tesla’s claims that he stole trade secrets, and acknowledged that his counterclaims were funded by a short seller of Tesla stock.
