EXCLUSIVE: A veteran Tesla worker has come forward to detail extraordinarily dangerous conditions at @ElonMusk's auto factory.
"It was like a modern-day industrial sweatshop," said Dennis Duran, who worked at Tesla’s Bay Area plant for 5 years.

Duran’s Tesla stories are harrowing:
"Someone got their leg run over. People were sent home for exhaustion. They were throwing up at random because they didn't have enough water.”
"Management never really cared. All they care about is hitting numbers and pleasing @ElonMusk."

For years, Tesla had injury rates far higher than other carmakers.
In 2019, Tesla claimed its rate dropped. But a damning report later found Tesla under-reported worker injuries that year.
Duran says people often worked while hurt and even bleeding. revealnews.org/article/tesla-…

The culture of fear and disregard for worker health at Tesla comes from the very top.
Last year, @ElonMusk re-opened the factory at the height of the pandemic, defying county orders.
At least 400 workers wound up with COVID. Musk’s net worth jumped $140 billion.

Last week, we spoke to another Tesla worker, Richard Ortiz, who was illegally fired for trying to form a union.
