#2This is not stable behavior of a CEO of a billion dollar company.
Edit: This is not the first time that he's been calling "sabotage":

#3Even if it's true I doubt the wisdom of publicizing it. It could derail any internal investigation, not to mention potentially looking like bullshit excuse-making.
Industrial espionage is real. I've heard plenty of stories. Usually it's handled very quietly and internally for exactly these reasons.

#4> This included making direct code changes to the Tesla Manufacturing Operating System under false usernames and exporting large amounts of highly sensitive Tesla data to unknown third parties.
How do "false usernames" work in a modern development environment where all commits are tied to a single real-world user?

I'm curious whether this would require disclosure with the SEC as a material event, as well as whether a police report would have been filed.

#6At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, perhaps a short-seller paid an employee to sabotage. It is not out of the realm of possibility, especially since $TSLA is at a whopping 33% float short.

How is not keeping your employees in the loop in a critical week and reminding them sabotage won't be tolerated not stable?

Not that anyone cares or asked what I think but I wouldn't be surprised if Elon ends up surpassing Crazie Eddie Antar [0] as far as fraud goes. (I have no idea whether he is a fraud. He just strikes me as likely a fraud.)

A culture of fear is generally demotivating.

I see a lot of resentment and "hate" on HN about Elon and quite honestly I don't understand where it is coming from. Where are the facts that Elon/Tesla is one gigantic fraud? Where is the scientific proof?
