How do you know what happened between Tripp and his lawyer?
It was all on Twitter between them.

I agree with you that he's not an exception, but at the same time I got a chronic sickness from the air pollution that's caused by oil and diesel car companies, and I know that millions of other people are dying, so I still think that other car company CEOs are even more shitty.
It's not like Tesla is novel or unique or better at electric cars. Conventional car companies have worked on electric cars, and have their own models for decades. Tesla's unique proposition was about building an electric supercar (and even that is not working very well, profits wise). They'll hardly be the one's replacing the mass oil and diesel cars with electric models...

#84Bloomberg conveniently left out the reason why "Tripp has since changed lawyers". It's because he published on Twitter a trove of confidential internal Tesla documents. Once he did that his lawyer knew they had no case anymore. Tripp only deleted the documents after his lawyer was able to get in touch with him. This showed that he did in fact access internal Tesla systems and he did in fact exfiltrate this informatio…
- Photos of trailers parked outside the Gigafactory full of potentially hazardous battery waste.
- Photos of shoddy workplaces within the Gigafactory and precision work being done with crude implements like Dremel tools.
- VIN numbers of cars which Tripp believed had been fitted with batteries with possibly punctured cells handled by the defective GF machine.
- Some entries in the accounting system which Tripp claimed supported his argument that waste was not being accounted for correctly.
- Photos of internal emails with Tesla execs (including Musk) where he tried to raise concerns about scrap and the general chaos at the Gigafactory.

#85Elon Musk is a pathological liar who goes full evil against people who dare to question him. Remember the British diver Unsworth. Or how tried to trigger a short squeeze by lying on Twitter multiple times. He called a respected non-profit media organization an extremist organization" after they did a piece critical of Tesla.
in 2016 he shared an article that suggested a rocket explosion was sabotage. Though he qualified that by saying it isn't true.

Whistleblower complaints are for obvious reasons typically based on exfiltrated documents. There may be liability against the whistleblower for that, but generally that does not impair the merits of the case against the company (except to the extent the company can use threats of legal action over the documents to keep the whistleblower quiet). And in some cases there are specific legal safeguards for whistleblowers whose complaints are based on confidential documents, especially in the case of public companies: https://www.zuckermanlaw.com/court-rules-whistleblowers-can-...

I could only find the lawyer's twitter account but not the tweets you're referring to.

It is accurate that we no longer rep M.Tripp in any matter.Nor do we have a need for any connection whatsoever with his attys in his Nev civil action.There wont be further comment on this.We still rep K.Hansen with re to his SEC submission & do have confidence in his submission

Also Mr. Tripp's Twitter account WAS NOT suspended/removed by twitter this AM. He himself voluntarily terminated his twitter account on advice of myself, so that there will not b any more confusion re if he has published anything or not. There is enough confusion re $TSLA already

Waaaat who told you this? An ceo directly interfering with engineering is a huge nono. Do you think this guy is Tony stark? He's a up jumped Web Dev.
He literally designed his rocket and built multiple million/billion dollar tech companies.

It's really frustrating how many people don't see through this narcissistic double-faced CEO.
We should really learn not to bother. I see there's a flood of downvotes/flagging on any comment presenting Musk in a bad light in any way. Evidence be damned.

#90For a hit piece on Musk, I don't think that's the most flattering quote for the victim in this story.
