I don't see how else your comment relates to the original article, then. Other than to insinuate that the main reason "these stories from Tesla keep coming out" ... is because Musk is a "thorn in side" of various na

Some background articles on the Diaz case, in which Tesla was ordered to pay $137 million for tolerating a hostile, racist environment (by the jury's determination). And no, this was not a matter of "racial slurs delivered by bla

Right -- and that is precisely his intended message: To be openly court corruption of this sort, as a way of rejecting the accepted norms of Western democracy. In its current effete, collectivist form. "Burn it down, burn it down!&q
