Since 2017, > 30 @tesla employees have been victim of whistleblower retaliation

$TSLA Employees blew the whistle on fraud, safety , harassment, sexual assault & more. Most disturbing, many were terminated immediately after contacting Musk or ethics hotline.

This $TSLA & @elonmusk pattern of whistleblower retaliation is now beyond dispute. In addition, a double digit number of OSHA whistleblower retaliation claims are active.

This thread will touch on 20+ of those employees, external critics , & the pattern continuing at SpaceX.

Retaliation happening immediately after notifying Musk or ethics hotline strike me as blatant, pernicious bad faith.

Former Army CID Karl Hansen filed a SOX whistleblower complaint against $TSLA & @elonmusk personally alleging Musk involvement:

This corroborated case of sexual assault at $TSLA whereby the victim was fired immediately after contacting Musk disturbs me daily.

Employee sees both fraud & safety concerns going on at $TSLA, refuses to falsify documents, calls the ethics hotline with what he sees, terminated.

What's that? Employee sees clear evidence of financial fraud re: solar valuations & revenues? Wonders why $TSLA ignores his concerns & goes directly to Musk . . . fired

for good measure, this complaint against $TSLA (its Staples vs., 3 plaintiffs) also has retalation for trying to eliminate words like "faggot" from the workplace.

Now let's focus on the many other examples where an employee pointed out fraud & was subsequently terminated.

Elon is in the clear on this one, the employee only spoke of the two separate schemes to willfully sell $TSLA lemons to Jerome Guillen.

When in doubt, Musk attacks the whistleblower. He falsely plushes the narrative that Tripp was "bribed", while failing to ever negate his specific, documented allegations against $TSLA

. @3d_Cristina is now suing $TSLA for defamation involving their retaliation against her. Ever one to prove my point, $TSLA counsel forged her signature "for her benefit" in Oregon court.

Cristina has the courage to speak publicly for herself.

Many of the safety related whistleblower claims involve sprinkling of fraud as well, as $TSLA appears willing to commit any act to hide its safety statistics.

@pac_watson blew the whistle & had Child Protective Services contacted for her courage:

$TSLA believes it can ignore whatever laws & regulations they want. What they can't ignore is employees pointing them out.

$TSLA really hates the safety spotlight

Terria McKnight was so worried about $TSLA retaliating for her safety complaints, she peed herself. Her concern was warranted.

Next, let's highlight $TSLA retaliating against employees for wanting a work environment where women are treated equally & harassment doesn't occur daily.

Let's start with "equal pay", a foreign concept to $TSLA

Marcus Vaughn is right, $TSLA does have a pattern of promoting bigots & punishing the harassed.

The wheels of justice are turning in the $TSLA whistleblower complaints, as this one is finally making it to trial.

Without the context of the thread, I would never have believed this one.

Cases of $TSLA retaliating against employees injured on the job or having other disabilities litter the docket. Here's one example.

Not touched on are the countless other examples, public & private, that are more standard type claims, such as this.

https://twitter.com/orthereaboot/status/1142216361277566976?s=20

Or Musk's threatening to "nuke" an employee & then shoving him a parking lot, all part of the pattern.

These instances are just the tip of the iceberg on a $TSLA culture that defines fast & quick, unless you have ethics. Then your contribution is strictly forbidden.

$TSLA executive turnover is near 100%, I don't wonder why.

Retaliation against non-Tesla employees tk.

This thread today from the sage @temp_worker details the $tsla style pattern of retaliation extending to SpaceX better than I could.

New $TSLA Whistleblower suit for solar fraud alleging Tesla sold projects to gov't entities (Balt & Montg counties) that 1) Tesla had "no intent to honor the obligations they had" & 2) caused "revenue from sales to be overstated"

Accounting & general fraud secured

Big deal

Case details (for a case that in and of itself has felled other companies)

Eskay et al vs. $TSLA et al

This $tsla accounting (likely tax as well) fraud has now been alleged by 5 independent employees to have occurred both before & after the $scty merger.

@PlainSite do you have this docket up on your site? I can't find it but imagine you do.

Thanks

here we have another $TSLA employee who works up courage to note he is being paid / promoted less than his non-white colleagues

Employee is quickly terminated upon speaking up. The pattern of "conscious disregard of the rights & safety" of employees continues unabated

Saucer vs

Find me a whistleblower/anti-retaliation statue w jurisdiction re: $TSLA & I'll show you a statute Tesla has violated.

This time at least, not for fraud, but basic discrimination against those w disabilities. Mr. Thurman-Silva has obtained the EEOC right to sue letter.
