ELON MUSK’S TESLA EMPIRE OF CORRUPTION

Tesla, Inc. has been criticized for its cars, workplace culture, business practices, and occupational safety. Many of the criticisms are also directed toward Elon Musk, the company’s CEO and Product Architect. Critics have also accused Tesla of deceptive marketing, unfulfilled promises, and fraud. The company is currently facing criminal and civil investigations into its self-driving claims. Critics have highlighted Tesla’s downplaying of issues, and Tesla’s alleged retaliation against several whistleblowers.

The safety and quality of Tesla cars and services have been questioned. There have been hundreds of now old reports of sudden unintended acceleration, brake failures, and “whompy wheels” – collapsing wheels due to faulty car suspension. These safety and quality problems have been compounded in the past by the poor wait times of Tesla’s customer service. Some features such as Autopilot, Full Self-Driving beta, and Passenger Play (a feature allowing riders to play Tesla games while in motion) have been criticized for their careless deployment. Critics have noted that some Tesla cars have had poor build quality due to rushed testing, leading to a high ratio of flawed vehicles. Others criticized the company’s “stealth” vehicle recalls, requiring customers to sign non-disclosure agreements.

Relationships between Musk, Tesla board members, employees, and unions have been complicated, partly resulting in a high turnover rate. Employees have reported poor treatment and policies, resulting in a high injury rate, with some having faced sexual harassment, racism, and union-busting incidents. Tesla’s environmental practices, use of cryptocurrencies, and compliance with open source licenses have been mentioned by critics. Detractors also claim that Tesla and Musk’s public relations activities have been used to deflect criticisms.

Musk and his company have been repeatedly accused of engaging in fraud, such as in their buyout of SolarCity, selling defective vehicles, overpromising, and posting reckless tweets. One tweet resulted in Musk agreeing to pay a fine and step down as Tesla’s chairman.[1] Proponents and opponents of Tesla consistently accuse each other of conflict of interests, believing Tesla’s stock valuation is either under- or over-valued.

Fraud allegations

SolarCity buyout

The so-described “SolarCity debacle”[2] led a group of Tesla shareholders to file a lawsuit alleging Musk breached his fiduciary duties and unjustly enriched himself in Tesla’s buyout of SolarCity in 2016.[3] The shareholders claim that Musk knew SolarCity was going broke before the buyout,[4] that Musk failed to properly recuse himself from the deal-making process,[5] and that the deal was, in effect, a bailout of Musk’s cousins Peter and Lyndon Rive.[6] In order to gain shareholder support for the buyout, Musk unveiled the Solar Roof in October 2016, but the Solar Roof tiles that Musk displayed were later revealed to be fake.[7] The trial was held in July 2021.[8] The court ruled in Musk’s favor in April 2022.[9] Some lawyers and legal academics criticized the ruling as a mistake and vulnerable to appeal.[10] In June 2023, Delaware’s Supreme Court upheld the ruling.[11]

7 Aug 2018[13]

In September 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Musk with securities fraud for his “false and misleading” statements after tweeting that he had “funding secured” to take Tesla private.[14] The SEC also charged Tesla with failing to have adequate controls and procedures in place regarding Musk’s tweets.[15]

Musk settled the fraud charges with the SEC in 2018, agreeing to pay a $20 million fine and stepping down as Tesla’s chairman.[16] Tesla also agreed to pay a $20 million fine and put in place additional controls to oversee Musk’s communications.[15]

According to The Wall Street Journal, the SEC told Tesla in May 2020 that the company had failed “to enforce these procedures and controls despite repeated violations by Mr. Musk”.[17] A lawsuit filed in March 2021 alleges that Musk violated his fiduciary duty to Tesla by continuing to send “erratic” tweets in violation of the SEC settlement, and that the board has failed to control Musk.[18][19] On April 1, 2022, a federal judge ruled that Musk “recklessly made the [2018] statements with knowledge as to their falsity”.[20] Comments made by Musk later in April 2022 disputing the factual basis of his settlement with the SEC likely violated the terms of the settlement agreement.[21][22]

Accounting

In 2017, a lawsuit alleged Tesla made materially false and misleading statements regarding its preparedness to produce Model 3 cars.[23] The U.S. Department of Justice also began an investigation in 2018 into whether Tesla misled investors and misstated production figures about the Model 3.[24] The lawsuit was dismissed in Tesla’s favor in March 2019.[25]

In 2018 Francine McKenna, investigative journalist and lecturer in accounting at Wharton, claimed Tesla made use of new revenue recognition accounting rules (adopted 1 January 2018) to post a first-quarter revenue beat. The new rules allow cars leased through its leasing partners to generally qualify to be accounted for as sales with a right of return, rather than operating leases, allowing an accelerating recording of revenue for Tesla.[26] In May 2018, Tesla reported a final adjustment of $623 million to its cumulative earnings resulting from the revenue recognition change.

In November 2019, hedge fund manager David Einhorn accused Elon Musk of “significant fraud”[27] and in April 2020, questioned Tesla’s accounting, in particular their large accounts receivable balance.[28] Musk responded on X (formerly Twitter) to Einhorn’s claims with a kissing-face emoji and attached a letter signed “Treelon Musk” containing “…It is understandable you wish to save face with your investors … [and] desire to feel somehow relevant with your Tesla short position.”[citation needed] In the same letter, Musk promised to send Einhorn “a small gift of short shorts”.[citation needed] Einhorn later received a package of shorts from Musk but Einhorn noted they came with “some manufacturing defects”.[29] Later, in 2020, numerous reporters and financial analysts speculated that Tesla could be the next Wirecard scandal.[30][31][32]

The SEC received a whistleblower complaint in 2021 from former Tesla employee Lukasz Krupski[33] detailing numerous allegations that Tesla “may have violated securities law and flouted accounting standards.” The SEC looked at one portion of the complaint, then closed the investigation without interviewing the submitters or evaluating the 18,000 files of documentation.[34] As reported first by Handelsblatt, Krupski then leaked the so-called Tesla Files, leading to court injunctions and warnings from the corporation.[35] Krupski received the 2023 Blueprint Europe Whistleblowing Prize for his work.[36][37]

In August 2023, Tesla’s Chief Financial Officer Zach Kirkhorn resigned unexpectedly. Dan Ives, a tech analyst at Wedbush Securities, speculated about various scenarios in which Kirkhorn might have left amicably, but also speculated about one possible scenario where Kirkhorn may have left due to a disagreement with Musk over “some aspect of strategy or succession”.[38]

Autopilot and Full Self-Driving fraud

As of October 2022, Tesla is facing a criminal probe from the US Department of Justice over claims it has made about its “Full Self-Driving” driver-assist system or capability.[39][40] Critics call out the company for selling and promoting its so-called Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta add-on when the software requires drivers’ constant supervision and is not actually capable of full self-driving.[41][42] Tesla’s Full Self-Driving beta is generally considered a SAE Level 2 advanced driver-assistance system, similar to competitors’ offerings such as General Motors’ Super Cruise and Ford‘s Co-Pilot360.[43] Legal scholars William Widen and Philip Koopman argue that Tesla has misrepresented FSD beta as SAE Level 2 in order to “avoid regulatory oversight and permitting processes required of more highly automated vehicles.”[44] They argue that FSD beta should actually be considered a SAE Level 4 technology, and have urged state Departments of Transportation in the U.S. to classify it as such, because publicly available videos show that “beta test drivers operate their vehicles as if to validate SAE Level 4 (high driving automation) features, often revealing dramatically risky situations created by use of the vehicles in this manner.”[44]

Tesla has benefited from increased sales and profit margins due to sales of the FSD option in particular, priced at $15,000 as of September 2022.[45][46] In April 2019, when Tesla was low on capital, Musk announced that Tesla would have one million robotaxis on the road by the end of 2020; a few weeks later Tesla sold stock to raise an additional $3 billion, solving its cash troubles.[45]

Elon Musk has repeatedly claimed that Tesla vehicles will be capable of full autonomy in the near future, but a Freedom of Information Act request made by PlainSite revealed that Tesla told the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in December 2020 they “do not expect significant enhancements” to the Full Self-Driving software that would enable full self-driving.[42][47] In May 2021, the California DMV said it was investigating whether Tesla violated state regulations by misleading customers in its claims about “full self-driving”.[48] Bryant Walker Smith, an autonomous vehicle law expert at the University of South Carolina, said “it’s so obviously clear that there’s a contradiction” between what Tesla is saying in its marketing of Full Self-Driving versus what its lawyers and engineers have told the DMV.[45] Smith said that using the name Full Self-Driving “leaves the domain of the misleading and irresponsible to something that could be called fraudulent”.[49] In August 2022, records surfaced showing that the California DMV had formally accused Tesla of false advertising Autopilot and FSD in July.[50]

In Germany in July 2020, authorities ruled that Tesla misled consumers regarding the “abilities of its automated driving systems” and banned it from using certain marketing language implying autonomous driving capabilities.[51] Upon appeal, that decision was reversed in 2021 by a higher court under the condition that Tesla clarify the capabilities of Autopilot on its website.[52][53]

In a 2021 lawsuit against Tesla, Texas police officers claimed “systematic fraud” involving Tesla Autopilot after a Model X crashed into two parked police cars.[54] As of October 2022, a trial has been requested.[55] In September 2022, Tesla was sued by drivers in a proposed class action suit over alleged false advertising of Autopilot and FSD.[56]

Insiders revealed to the press in 2022 that the U.S. Department of Justice launched an investigation in 2022 following reports of more than a dozen crashes that involved Autopilot.[57] Then, in a 2023 quarterly company report, Tesla stated receiving subpoenas from the Department in connection with the investigation and other probes.[58]

Reselling defective vehicles

In mid 2020, Tesla was accused of reselling defective “lemon” cars in the U.S. and Europe,[59][60] followed by accounts of Norway Tesla service centers using lemons as loaners.[61] Multiple customers have accused Tesla of knowingly selling defective vehicles in China as well.[62] In September 2021, a Chinese court ruled that Tesla had acted in a fraudulent manner by reselling a customer a defective used Model S car.[62]

Musk’s promises

Tesla factory at the Tesla Fremont Factory in 2011. Automation of car production is prevalent.

According to journalist Bethany McLean, skeptics have come to see Elon Musk’s attempts at promoting Tesla as “more unhinged than iconoclastic”, and noted his “penchant for making grandiose statements that he either knows are not true at the time he makes them, or that he has no real intent of following through on.”[63] Other critics go further and characterize Musk’s overpromising as “unethical”[64] or manipulative in order to “raise capital, collect customer deposits, or secure regulatory benefits.”[63] Musk has made numerous promises about Tesla that have failed to come true,[65][66][67][68] including:

  • Musk claimed in 2016 that the Nevada Gigafactory would be a net zero-emissions facility, running on 100% renewable energy from solar panels covering the factory’s roof.[69][70] The Gigafactory needs at least 300 megawatts of power,[71] but as of September 2022, Tesla has only 8 megawatts of solar panels on the Gigafactory roof.[72]
  • In 2018, Musk conceded that his 2016 plan for “excessive automation at Tesla was a mistake.”[73] Tesla ended up building some of its Model 3 cars in a tent using mostly manual labor who used shortcuts.[74]
  • In 2018, Musk said “Brake pads on a Tesla literally never need to be replaced for lifetime of the car.”[75] The price to change a Tesla’s brakes is $8500.[76]
  • Musk said that 2019 would be the “year of the solar roof,” and was hoping Tesla would manufacture 1,000 roofs a week by the end of the year.[77] Publications estimated that solar roofs were installed on less than 100 homes and challenged his prediction.[78] Then, in June 2020, Tesla cancelled many customers’ orders for solar roof installations, saying they were outside of their service area.[78] Customers complained about being upset with this decision since they had placed $1,000 deposits for pre-orders as early as 2017.[79] As of June 2022, about 23 roofs per week are being installed.[80]
  • In 2019, Musk said that “Tesla will have 1 million robotaxis on roads next year”.[81] In 2022, he said that robotaxis are expected to be produced by 2024.[82]
  • In 2021, it was reported CEOs of major automotive manufacturers had approached Tesla for electric vehicle technology that it was supposedly open to sharing and were instead offered the opportunity to purchase regulatory credits by Musk, suggesting that the company and Musk “may not be not as eager for the electric revolution to occur as [they claim]”.[83]
  • From 2013 to 2023, Musk has promised some form of full self-driving “next year” or the end of that year each year.[84][85] Musk said in 2015 that he did not think making fully autonomous cars was very difficult,[86] and predicted “complete autonomy” by 2018.[87] Starting in at least 2019, Musk has claimed that Tesla vehicles are capable of “full self-driving,” but Tesla’s Autopilot is only a Level 2 advanced driver-assistance system, requiring drivers to maintain full attention and be prepared to take control of the vehicle at a moment’s notice.[88] In 2019, Musk said that Tesla would have more than 1 million robotaxis on the road in 2020, and sold a “Full Self-Driving capability” package, despite the technology not yet being available.[89][90] Experts stated the 2020 prediction was unrealistic and Tesla had no chance of achieving it.[91] In April 2020, Musk admitted that “punctuality is not my strong suit” and robotaxis in some form could be in operation sometime in 2021, which they did not.[92] In 2021, Tesla was ranked last for both strategy and execution in the autonomous driving sector by Guidehouse Insights.[93]

Misuse of government subsidies

Tesla has been accused of gaming the California Air Resources Board system for zero-emission vehicle credits by launching a “battery swap” program that was never made available to the public.[122][123][124] In 2018, the state of Oregon reclaimed $13 million from Tesla after an investigation found that SolarCity had falsely inflated the prices on 14 large-scale solar projects in 2010–2014 by over 100% in order to qualify for higher tax credits.[125][126]

Since 2019, Tesla has sold a 94-mile range Model 3 in Canada in order to thwart their limits on electric vehicle tax incentives,[127] which has cost Canadian taxpayers C$115 million.[128] Aaron Wudrick, director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, accused Tesla of gaming the system by listing the no-frills model one dollar below the program’s cut-off price of C$45,000.[128] As of October 2020, Tesla had sold only 126 of the base model, versus 12,000 of the higher-end Standard Range Plus.[129] Wudrick said, “Tesla and their wealthier customers are making off like bandits at taxpayers’ expense.”[129]

Tesla has faced significant criticism regarding its Giga New York factory, which was built and equipped using nearly $1 billion in New York taxpayer money. Allegations in 2018 and 2019 include inflated job promises, cost overruns, construction delays, and a lack of effort from Musk.[130][131][132]

Many observers have criticized Musk and Tesla’s dependence on government subsidies.[63][133][134][135] Critics have argued that these subsidies are inefficient and inequitable, as they go mainly to high-income households.[136][137][138][139] As of 2015, Musk’s companies Tesla, SolarCity, and SpaceX benefited from an estimated $4.9 billion in government subsidies.[140] In December 2020, journalist Jacob Silverman in The New Republic accused Tesla and Musk of “grifting the government” and getting “unimaginably rich by maximally gaming the government’s largesse”.[141]

Fandom

Tesla has been noted for having an especially loyal and devoted fanbase,[142][143][144] which has been likened to a cult, in particular a cult of personality around Elon Musk.[145][146][147] According to Vice, there are “quasi-religious overtones” in any debate about Tesla.[148] Ed Niedermeyer characterizes the culture that Tesla has fostered as “ambitious, aggressive, ruthless, defensive, and unapologetic”[149] and has speculated that Musk orchestrated a “hype campaign” to gain fans and positive media coverage.[150]

Tesla’s loyal fan base has frequently turned toxic, attacking critics with “relentless fervor” while focused on harassing female journalists.[145][151][152] An account in the Detroit Free Press illustrated the serious threats made by fans to a fellow Tesla owner and videoblogger for praising the Ford Mustang Mach-E.[153] Scientist and engineer Missy Cummings was also the subject of personal harassment by Tesla advocates following the announcement of her joining the NHTSA as a senior advisor.[154] Jennifer Homendy, head of the National Transportation Safety Board, said that the attacks against Cummings were a calculated attempt to distract from safety questions regarding Tesla’s driver-assist and “full self-driving” technologies.[155] Separately, Tesla fans became the subject of ridicule themselves after several fans independently tested Autopilot’s automated braking system using children and homemade child-like dummies.[156][157][158] Videos of some of the tests were later removed from YouTube for violating their child endangerment policy.[159]

An article from Deutschlandfunk describes how “online armies take on defense work and information policy for Elon Musk” via tech blogs and social media.[160] In addition, Tesla’s clean-energy division Tesla Energy is alleged to have a team dedicated to searching for customer complaints on social media and asking them to delete their comments.[161][162] A separate team is dedicated to managing negative social media posts aimed specifically at Elon Musk.[161] Electrek, the largest electric car news site, has consistently promoted Tesla and has been accused of failing to disclose its conflicts of interest and close relationship with Tesla.[163] Researchers found 186 bot accounts on Twitter that have consistently published positive sentiments about Tesla, which they say “may have buffered the Tesla narrative from an emergent group of critics, relieved downward pressure on the Tesla stock price and amplified pro-Tesla sentiment from the time of the firm’s IPO in June 2010 to the end of 2020.”[164]

Environmental practices

Protest against building a Tesla factory in Germany. Translation of the text: “Capitalism doesn’t come in green! Change everything!”

In June 2019, Ed Niedermeyer reported that Tesla showed a pattern of “chronic noncompliance that stands in stark contrast to Tesla’s public image as an environmental crusader” as related to air quality permits at Tesla’s Fremont factory.[166] Tesla repeatedly ignored air quality regulations,[166] receiving notices from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District for 21 permit deviations.[166][167][168]

Tesla launched its Supercharger network in 2012 with the promise that its stations would be solar-powered,[169][170] and only in 2021 did Tesla state the network power was 100% renewable, but through solar power on-site and through purchasing electricity which was matched to renewable generation.[171][172] Despite the company’s anti-carbon and anti-oil messaging, some Supercharger stations used diesel generators for backup power in 2015.[173]

Tesla’s 2018 impact report was criticized for not disclosing details on its emissions or electricity consumption, though emissions are rising as they expand in China and India.[174][175] Tesla’s 2021 impact report was criticized for not disclosing enough about how their operations affect the environment.[176]

In May 2022, Tesla was removed from the S&P 500 ESG Index by S&P Dow Jones Indices, and in response, Elon Musk posted a tweet to his Twitter account criticizing the decision and, in noting that ExxonMobil was rated within the top 10 constituent companies in the index by weight, accused ESG of being a scam.[177][178]

In January 2024, Tesla agreed to pay $1.3 million in civil penalties and $200,000 to reimburse investigation costs for the alleged illegal disposal of hazardous waste in 25 counties in California. Tesla also agreed to train its employees on hazardous waste disposal and to have 10 percent of Tesla’s facilities audited for waste disposal for the next 5 years.[179][180]

Safety issues

Autopilot

Tesla Autopilot interface

Critics argue that Tesla has published misleading safety claims about its Autopilot driver-assistance system, and that Tesla cars are actually less safe with Autopilot activated.[181][182][183][184] Tesla’s “public beta” release of Autopilot has been called unsafe and irresponsible, as critical safety features aren’t thoroughly tested before being released to consumers.[185] The National Transportation Safety Board has criticized Tesla for neglecting driver safety, calling certain Autopilot features “completely inadequate”,[186] and cited Autopilot as the probable cause of multiple deadly crashes involving Tesla vehicles.[187] A 2019 study found that Autosteer increased the odds of airbag deployment by a factor of 2.4.[188] A 2020 study found that drivers were more distracted when they used Autopilot, and the researchers called on Tesla to take more steps to ensure drivers stay attentive.[189] Another 2020 study identified significant inconsistencies, abnormalities, and unsafe behavior with Autopilot on three Tesla Model 3 cars.[190] Numerous videos have shown misuse and apparent malfunctions of Autopilot leading to collisions,[191][192] and between 2016 and 2022 at least fifteen fatalities have involved the use of Autopilot, nine of which occurred in the United States.[193]

The Center for Auto Safety and Consumer Watchdog have criticized Tesla for what they believe are deceptive marketing practices related to Autopilot.[194] Studies by AAA and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety have shown the name “Autopilot” to be misleading, causing drivers to think the system is safer than it actually is.[195][196][197] A German court ruled in 2020 that Tesla had misled consumers by using the terms “Autopilot” and “Full Self Driving”.[51]

As of March 2021, the NHTSA was investigating 23 recent accidents involving Tesla vehicles that may have been on Autopilot.[198] Tesla’s Autopilot technology has struggled to detect crossing traffic and stopped vehicles, including stationary emergency vehicles, which has led to multiple fatal crashes.[199][200] (Tesla released an “Emergency Light Detection” over-the-air update to Autopilot in September 2021, and the NHTSA questioned why it didn’t issue a recall.[201]) Additionally, an MIT study published in September 2021 found that Tesla Autopilot is not as safe as it claims and leads to drivers becoming inattentive from regular use of the system.[202][203]

In February 2022, NHTSA began an investigation of phantom braking at highway speeds after 354 complaints from customers concerning a group of about 416,000 Tesla vehicles.[204] The complaints describe rapid deceleration that can occur repeatedly without warning and apparently at random. One owner of a 2021 Tesla Model Y reported a violent deceleration to the NHTSA from 80 mph to 69 mph in less than a second.[205] In May 2022, the NHTSA said in a letter that they had received over 750 complaints about this issue.[206]

In June 2022, NHTSA announced it was investigating 16 instances in which Autopilot shut off less than a second before a collision. Fortune suggested this “might indicate the system was designed to shut off when it sensed an imminent accident”. Fortune also pointed out that Musk has frequently claimed that “accidents cannot be the fault of the company, as data it extracted invariably showed Autopilot was not active in the moment of the collision”.[207] Senator Ed Markey praised the NHTSA investigation, criticizing Tesla for disregarding safety rules and misleading the public about its “Autopilot” system.[208]

Full Self-Driving

Tesla has also been criticized by industry observers and safety advocates for its “fast-and-loose approach” to developing its automated-driving technology.[209] Critics argue that pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers didn’t sign up to take part in Tesla’s “lab experiment” of testing Full Self Driving with amateur drivers on public roads.[209] In July 2021, many videos surfaced showing dangerous behavior in Tesla vehicles using the latest version of the Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta add-on.[209]

Tesla initially required all customers to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in order to take part in the FSD beta testing, which journalists noted as an attempt by Tesla to hide the system’s flaws and protect itself from critics who argue that Tesla is actually making roads more dangerous.[210][211][212] In response, the NHTSA sent a formal letter to Tesla asking about the terms of the NDA.[213] Since then, videos of incidents from many beta testers have been posted online.[214] Billionaire software safety advocate Dan O’Dowd aired a commercial claiming to show a Tesla running over child-sized mannequins several times; this generated a cease-and-desist letter from Tesla, which O’Dowd dismissed.[214]

In August 2022, consumer rights activist Ralph Nader called on the NHTSA to outright remove FSD from all applicable Tesla cars.[215] Vice and Consumer Reports also noted the poor implementation of Tesla’s “Safety Score” measurement, which has led to drivers taking unsafe actions such as not braking for cyclists in the hopes of increasing their safety scores.[216][217]

In February 2022, Tesla agreed to remove the “rolling stop” option from the add-on after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration complained the practice is unsafe, and illegal everywhere in the United States.[218]

Fire risk

Leaked emails revealed that starting in 2012 Tesla knowingly sold Model S cars with a design flaw in its battery that could cause fires.[219] Toyota ended their partnership with Tesla in 2014 in part because of disagreements about structural designs that could help prevent battery damage from road debris which could cause fires.[220] Following a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) investigation into two high-profile Tesla vehicle fires in 2014, Tesla added a titanium underbody shield to better protect the battery from road debris.[221]

The NHTSA investigated Tesla in 2019 for allegedly issuing over-the-air updates to cover-up a non-crash fire risk in their batteries.[222] In early 2021, Chinese regulators reprimanded Tesla after an increase in customer complaints about battery fires.[223][224]

Sudden unintended acceleration

Over 200 incidents of sudden unintended acceleration in Tesla vehicles were reviewed by the NHTSA following a defect petition filed in December 2019.[225][226] The investor who filed the defect petition said that the number of sudden unintended acceleration incidents involving Tesla vehicles was “astonishingly high” compared to other vehicles.[226] The NHTSA concluded in January 2021 that the incidents were the result of user error, due to drivers confusing the brake and accelerator pedals.[226][227]

In June 2021, Chinese regulators announced that Tesla would recall nearly 300,000 China-made and imported Model 3 and Model Y cars due to an assisted driving function that could be activated accidentally, causing sudden unintended acceleration.[228][229]

Brake failures

In March 2021, the owner of a new Model 3 in China reported an accident that she believed was caused by a brake failure; a Tesla China technician reproduced the accident at the same location.[230] Tesla China later issued a statement saying that both the customer’s and the technician’s cars showed no signs of any malfunction.[230]

In April 2021, an angry Tesla owner protested atop a Tesla Model 3 at the Shanghai Auto Show, repeatedly yelling “Tesla brake lost control”.[231] The woman says that the brakes on her Tesla Model 3 failed, nearly killing four of her family members in an accident. Tesla China disputed the claim, saying the car’s brakes and emergency-warning system functioned properly.[231]

Stealth recalls

Tesla has been accused of performing “stealth recalls” by labeling safety-critical repairs as “goodwill”, while also requiring customers to sign non-disclosure agreements.[232][233] Journalist and author Ed Niedermeyer called this type of agreement “unheard of in the auto industry”, and noted that a policy of demanding non-disclosure agreements for “goodwill” repairs would limit the number of defects Tesla owners reported to the NHTSA.[234] The NHTSA stated they were aware that Tesla had entered into a “troublesome” non-disclosure agreement with one Model S owner regarding a failed suspension.[235][234]

Misleading safety ratings

A graph of Tesla’s often cited statistic of kilometer per crash

In 2013, the NHTSA awarded the original Tesla Model S its maximum safety rating of five stars. Tesla subsequently claimed that – based on the details of the test – it actually achieved 5.4 stars, prompting the NHTSA to release a statement reaffirming that it does not award more than five stars, and that Tesla was “misleading the public” by claiming in their marketing that the NHTSA had awarded them a higher rating.[236][237]

In 2017, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded the Model S their second-highest rating of “acceptable,” denying the Model S a “Top Safety Pick” rating due to less than satisfactory results in a frontal overlap crash test of the vehicle and its “poor” headlights.[238] Tesla responded by accusing groups like the IIHS of using methods “that suit their own subjective purposes”, and dismissed the results by claiming that the Model S and Model X were “the safest cars in history” based on the NHTSA’s older and less comprehensive tests.[239][240][241] Reporters noted Tesla’s dismissiveness of potential safety concerns, calling it “irresponsible” and “ridiculous.”[242][240]

In 2018, after the Tesla Model 3 was awarded a five-star rating by the NHTSA, Tesla claimed that the Model 3 had “the lowest probability of injury of any vehicle ever tested by NHTSA,” prompting the NHTSA to publish a statement that it does not rank vehicles within the five-star category.[236] In 2019, documents acquired by PlainSite revealed that the NHTSA had sent Elon Musk a cease and desist letter in response to this and several other “deceptive” and “inaccurate” statements about the NHTSA’s ratings which were made by Tesla and promoted on social media by Musk.[243][244] The NHTSA then referred the matter to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission‘s Bureau of Consumer Protection for further investigation.[245]

“Whompy wheels”

Starting in 2015, many Tesla drivers have complained about “whompy wheels”—an issue where the car’s suspension system breaks, sometimes causing a wheel to collapse or fall off the car.[246][247][248][249] NHTSA announced it was investigating Model S suspension issues in 2016, seeking input from the company and Tesla owners after receiving multiple reports of possible suspension failures. In addition, NHTSA stated it was concerned that Tesla asked owners to sign nondisclosure agreements covering repairs for safety issues;[250] a spokesperson for NHTSA stated “The agency immediately informed Tesla that any language implying that consumers should not contact the agency regarding safety concerns is unacceptable, and N.H.T.S.A. expects Tesla to eliminate any such language.”[251] Tesla disputed the characterization of NHTSA’s actions as an investigation, calling it a “routine screening” instead and questioning whether the reporter, Edward Niedermeyer, had financial motivations.[252] The 2016 probe was closed without further action.[253]

Rather than issue a recall on potentially defective suspensions, Tesla has released multiple technical service bulletins warning mechanics about suspension issues and in some cases, advising replacement.[248] For example, Tesla issued SB-17-31-001 in February 2017, which stated “Some Model S and Model X vehicles may have been manufactured with front suspension fore links that may not meet Tesla strength specifications”, calling for those links to be replaced as the remedy.[254] Some of the additional bulletins advising inspection and replacement include SB-17-31-002 (front stabilizer bar links, 2017 Models S and X),[255] SB-17-31-006 (front suspension lower fore links, 2016 Models S and X in China),[256] SB-18-31-002 (front upper control arms, 2017 Model 3),[257] SB-18-31-005 (front stabilizer bar links, 2017–18 Model 3),[258] and SB-19-31-001 (lower rear control arm assemblies, 2013–14 Model S).[259]

During a twelve-month period ending in April 2019, Tesla spent $4 million globally on warranty repairs to Model S and X suspensions, of which the plurality ($1.3 M) was attributed to front suspension aft links.[260] Based on data reported internally by a Tesla engineer in September 2020, Reuters calculated that approximately 5% of all Tesla Model S and X vehicles in southern Europe and the Middle East had required aft link repairs.[260] In October 2020, Chinese authorities forced Tesla to recall 30,000 Model S and X cars due to suspension issues.[249] Tesla stated the recall in China for the front suspension aft link and rear suspension upper link was to avoid “a heavy burden through the Chinese administrative process” but “there is no defect in the subject components and no associated safety-risk”, reporting the root cause was “driver abuse, including that driver usage and expectation for damageability is uniquely severe in the China market” and citing the overall low incidence of failures, both in China (0.1%) and elsewhere (<0.05%).[261] However, internal records show the front suspension aft link was redesigned four times between 2016 and 2020 while Tesla was resolving 400 complaints about aft link failures in China.[260] In December 2020, NHTSA opened a preliminary evaluation (PE20-020) in response to 53 complaints alleging that front fore links fractured at the steering knuckle ball joint attachment for certain years of Model S (2015–2017) and Model X (2016–2017) vehicles, which were the parts covered by SB-17-31-001, issued in 2017.[262]

A lawsuit was filed against Tesla in 2022, alleging that after the suspension failed on a 2021 Model 3, the vehicle’s undercarriage impacted the roadway, igniting the batteries; after colliding with trees, the driver and passenger died.[263][264]

In December 2023, Reuters published an investigative article showing that Tesla had dismissed prior customer claims for suspension and steering failures as resulting from prior damage and/or driver abuse, while internally documenting the same parts with chronic failures as flawed.[260]

Passenger Play

In December 2021, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into Tesla’s Passenger Play feature, which allowed riders to play games on the car’s touchscreen even while the vehicle was in motion. The agency’s inquiry included four models – S, X, Y and 3. A day after the investigation was officially launched, Tesla responded with an over-the-air update that disabled Passenger Play for vehicles in motion and making it only accessible while the car is parked. However, NHTSA stated it will continue with the investigation.[265][266]

Quality issues

Many critics, including Consumer Reports, J.D. Power, and What Car?, have noted the questionable quality and poor reliability of Tesla cars.[267][268][269][270] For 2021, Consumer Reports rated Tesla’s overall reliability as 27th worst out of 28 car brands.[271] For 2022, Consumer Reports expects the reliability of the Model 3 to be average, and the Model S, X, and Y to be below average.[272]

Tesla used non-automotive grade materials in their 2012 and later Model S infotainment screens in order to have the largest car screen on the market, but they distorted over time.[273] Tesla skipped pre-production testing before the Model 3 launch in 2017, which other major auto manufacturers consider a crucial part of the quality control process.[274][275] Tesla’s production of the Model 3 was criticized in 2018 for producing an abnormally high ratio of flawed vehicles and parts.[276] Jonathon Klein, reporting for The Drive, argued in 2019 that many of Tesla’s quality problems stem from their cars being “rushed to market”.[277] For example, Tesla skipped a critical brake-and-roll test and reduced the number of welds on the Model 3 in order to meet quarterly production targets in 2018.[278][279] Tesla vehicles have experienced noteworthy issues such as the roof detaching while driving on the highway in 2020.[280] In September 2020, Model Y owners reported finding its cooling system to be held together with a “band-aid” of tape and faux wood.[281][282] One manufacturing engineer in 2021 called an issue with Tesla vehicles having loose or missing suspension bolts “especially scary”, since it indicates that Tesla does not have proper preventative measures in place to make sure parts are not missing.[283] In early 2023, the steering wheel of a brand new Tesla fell off during driving, closely reflecting a similar case from 2020.[284] Chinese regulators rebuked Tesla in early 2021, urging them to strengthen their internal management in order to improve quality control after growing consumer complaints amidst Tesla’s rapid sales expansion in China.[285]

Recalls have become a recurring matter for the company as well: In February 2021, Tesla was forced to recall 135,000 Model S and Model X vehicles built between 2012 and 2018 due to using a flash memory device that was only rated to last five to six years[286] and, between November 2021 and February 2022, there were eight recalls across models for various issues (some involving safety concerns).[287]

German Technical Inspection Association 2022 Report

In the 2022 the German Technical Inspection Association (Technischer Überwachungsverein or TÜV) evaluated passenger cars whose main inspections took place between July 2020 and June 2021, and did its first-ever evaluation of the four most popular electric cars in Germany, with their defect rates:

 
Electric Car # of Samples Defect Rate Compared to ICE cars
Smart Fortwo Electric Drive 1645 3.5% Top third
BMW i3 1142 4.7% Middle third
Renault Zoe 1939 5.7% Bottom third
Tesla Model S 812 10.7% Bottom third

With a defect rate of 10.7 percent, every tenth Tesla Model S failed the inspection and the Model S would end up in the bottom third of the 128 internal combustion engine (ICE) cars TÜV evaluated.[288] The General German Automobile Club states the average defect rate for 2-3 year-old ICE cars is 4.7 percent.[289]

Customer service issues

A Tesla service facility

In 2017, certain Tesla vehicles equipped with its Ludicrous performance mode had limited power output, as discovered by some Tesla owners in 2017. The power limits were connected to how frequently the drivers used Launch Mode; if a driver used it too much, the car’s power output was restricted to prevent excessive wear and tear on components. Customers complained and the company removed the limiter.[290]

Tesla owners complained in 2019 about “nightmarish” repair delays, with some car owners waiting upwards of six months for repairs due to long wait-times for parts and insufficient service centers.[291] Customers also complained in 2019 about their inability to contact a human employee for service issues.[292] Tesla has pushed customers to book service appointments via their mobile app, which one owner called a “black hole” in 2019.[292] Customers complained in 2019 about Tesla being sloppy and inconsistent in handling returns and refunds, with some customers waiting months to receive refunds.[293][294] In March 2021, Tesla double-charged some customers for new cars;[295] about a week after significant public outcry, Tesla apologized and the customers received refunds.[296]

In early 2020, Tesla was criticized by Chinese publications and individuals for delivering Model 3 cars with lower-performance Autopilot hardware than promised. Specifically, Tesla’s Hardware Version 3.0 for Autopilot had been cited as being included when buyers bought the vehicles, but, upon closer examination, the new owners said the cars featured only Version 2.5 of the hardware.[297]

In July 2023, Reuters reported that Tesla had created a special “diversion team” in 2022 to cancel service appointments related to driving range issues. Approximately 10 years prior, the Tesla in-car range estimation algorithm was adjusted to provide an optimistic forecast when the battery state of charge was greater than 50%, switching to a more realistic forecast below 50%, and included an additional “safety buffer” range of approximately 15 mi (24 km) when the state of charge was 0%.[298] Recurrent Auto, a third-party battery monitoring company,[299] noted the average Tesla Model Y in-car estimated range remained at approximately 90% of EPA estimate regardless of ambient temperature, while real-world measured range was 45-60% of the EPA estimate.[300] In a test published by SAE International in April 2023, three Tesla models averaged 26% lower range than advertised.[298][301] Diversion team members were told to run remote diagnostics on owner vehicles, provide driving tips to maximize range, and explain the range values were estimates, not measurements.[298] In early August, several Tesla owners filed suit over the alleged range inflation.[302]

Battery throttling

In August 2019, a class action lawsuit was filed in Northern California, claiming that a 2019 over-the-air sotware update throttled the Model S battery life, some by as much as 40 miles.[303] On December 7, 2020, Tesla settled the suit for $1.5 million.[304]

In April 2021, a Norwegian judge found Tesla guilty of throttling charging speed in a similar suit, after they failed to respond to the lawsuit. The 30 customers who were part of the lawsuit were awarded 136,000 Norwegian kroner each ($16,000).[305][306]

Data privacy concerns

Tesla was only the second product ever reviewed by the Mozilla Foundation which violated all of their privacy concerns.[307][308]

A Tesla owner filed a lawsuit in 2023 following a Reuters report that Tesla employees shared “highly invasive videos and images recorded by customers’ car cameras” with one another.[309]

Internal data troves shared with various international government agencies and news organizations by former employee and whistleblower Lukasz Krupski in late 2023 implicated Tesla in “serious data protection lapse[s].”[310] The data Krupski retrieved included “information about current and former Tesla staff, including passport numbers, medical details and salaries” and was readily available on internal systems that most employees had access to.[311] As of November 2023, the Data Protection Authority in the Netherlands is investigating whether this alleged lack of internal security violated privacy laws.[312]

Relations with the government of China

Tesla has received special treatment and strong government support in China, gaining perks such as tax breaks, cheap financing, the ability to wholly own its Chinese operations, and assistance in building its Shanghai factory (Giga Shanghai) at breakneck speed.[313] During the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Bloomberg, one Tesla executive said, “Tesla didn’t just have a green light from the government to get back to work—it had a flashing-sirens police escort.”[313]

Musk has frequently praised China, a controversial stance due to deteriorating U.S.–Chinese relations, China’s ongoing persecution of Uyghurs, and alleged human rights abuses in Hong Kong.[314] James McGregor, chairman for Greater China at APCO Worldwide, said that foreign companies in China under Chinese Communist Party general secretary Xi Jinping need to “be aware that the ultimate plan is for all the advanced technologies to be Chinese.”[314] McGregor added, “I hope that Elon is going in there with both eyes open.”[314]

In August 2020, Congressional negotiators (led by then-U.S. Senator Cory Gardner) highlighted Tesla’s ties to China as a potential national security risk for the United States.[315][316]

In July 2021, Bloomberg Businessweek reported on Tesla’s “fall from grace” in China due to data collection and safety issues. Tesla reportedly asked the Chinese government to censor criticism of Tesla on social media.[317]

In January 2022, the Council on American–Islamic Relations, Senator Marco Rubio, and others urged Tesla to close its showroom in Ürümqi, Xinjiang, due to the Persecution of Uyghurs in China in the Xinjiang region.[318][319]

Working conditions

In 2017, The Guardian published a story about working conditions at Tesla Fremont, in which former and current Tesla employees publicly expressed concerns about worker treatment.[320][321] Between 2014 and 2017, ambulances went to Tesla Fremont over 100 times to provide emergency services to workers exhibiting symptoms including fainting, dizziness, abnormal breathing and chest pains resulting from the physically demanding tasks associated with their positions.[320] At the end of that period, Tesla Fremont employed over 10,000 workers.[320]

Underreported Total Recordable Incident Rate

Tesla has acknowledged that its Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR, a measure of employee safety)[322] exceeded the industry average between 2013 and 2016.[323][324] Tesla did not release exact data over that period, claiming it is not representative of the factory’s current operations.[320] Musk defended Tesla’s safety record and argued that the company had made significant improvement; in early 2017, Tesla added extra shifts and safety teams to improve conditions.[320][321][325] However, when The Guardian reached out in 2017 to 15 current and/or former workers, each contradicted Musk’s viewpoint.[320] Jonathan Galescu, a production technician for the company, said, “I’ve seen people pass out, hit the floor like a pancake and smash their face open. They just send us to work around him while he’s still laying on the floor.”[320] In February 2017, Jose Moran, a Tesla worker, blogged about the company’s practices of mandatory overtime, frequent worker injuries and low wages.[320] Both workers are involved with the United Auto Workers (UAW)’s current organizing campaign.[326][327]

In 2018, The Center for Investigative Reporting‘s Reveal published an investigation concluding that Tesla under-counted worker injuries to make its safety record appear better. It included findings such as the factory floor not having clearly marked pedestrian lanes and instead having lanes painted different shades of gray because Elon Musk does not like the color yellow. In addition, other safety signals (such as signs and warning beeps) were lowered in order to please Musk’s aesthetic preferences.[328] Susan Rigmaiden, former environmental compliance manager, commented: “If someone said, ‘Elon doesn’t like something,’ you were concerned because you could lose your job.”[328] Tesla called Reveal’s investigation an “ideologically motivated attack by an extremist organization working directly with union supporters to create a calculated disinformation campaign against Tesla.”[329] Reveal responded by publishing the details of their investigation, which included interviews of more than three dozen current and former employees and managers as well as the review of hundreds of pages of documents.[328] Additionally, many of the interviewed safety professionals had no involvement in a unionization effort.[328] A California regulator (Cal/OSHA) confirmed the 2018 under-reporting and stated that including those injuries would raise Tesla’s 2018 TRIR from 6.2 to 6.5, compared to the automobile manufacturing average of 6.1.[330][331]

Injury policies criticized

Tesla’s policies for dealing with injured employees has been criticized.[320] In 2017, workers alleged that Tesla’s policies got in the way of workers reporting injuries.[320] At Tesla, workers who reported injuries were moved to lighter work and also lower pay, while also being given access to supplemental insurance benefits.[320] One injured worker reported that his pay went from $22 an hour to $10 an hour.[320] To protect their incomes, many workers choose to work during their recovery from injury, in some cases causing further damage and pain.[320]

Anti-union efforts

A California judge ruled in September 2019 that Tesla and Elon Musk had illegally sabotaged employee efforts to form a union.[332] Union organizers voiced concerns about high injury rates and low wages.[332] Organizers were illegally harassed by Tesla security guards, threatened with losing benefits such as stock options, and warned by supervisors that they could be fired.[333] Tesla fired one employee, Richard Ortiz, who had been active in union organization efforts.[334] In May 2021, the National Labor Relations Board upheld the 2019 court ruling, ordering that Ortiz be reinstated with back pay and that Musk delete an anti-union tweet.[334] Tesla later appealed and a federal appeals court sided with the original decision.[335]

In June 2022, a CNBC report found that Tesla paid MikeWorldWide to monitor a Tesla employee Facebook group and to conduct research on Tesla union organizers on social media from 2017 to 2018. MikeWorldWide monitored discussions on social networks alleging unfair labor practices at Tesla and monitored discussions on a sexual harassment lawsuit. Former and current Tesla employees told CNBC that they believe the company continues to monitor its workers on social media.[336]

Child labor in supply chain

In 2019, IRAdvocates, a US-based NGO filed a class-action lawsuit against five large technology companies including Tesla for “aiding and abetting the use of young children in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) cobalt mining industry.” In 2020, The Times cited Tesla’s dependence on cobalt from the DRC in their lithium-ion car batteries, which have been called “blood batteries” due to incidents of child labor and extremely poor working conditions.[337] Tesla stated in 2020 that it is moving to cobalt-free batteries, without giving a timeline.[338] In the January–March 2022 quarter, half of Tesla’s car batteries were cobalt-free.[339] The 2022 Tesla Impact Report reports that “Tesla’s cell production growth rate will increase our demand for primary mined minerals”, which includes cobalt.[340][341]

Sweatshop conditions

In December 2020, PingWest highlighted poor working conditions at Giga Shanghai, calling it “Giga-Sweatshop“.[342] Employees reported being “crammed into tight workspace”, intense manual labor, and office bullying. Many employees at Giga Shanghai quit after Tesla cancelled employee stock options and failed to keep its promise of paying an overtime allowance.[342]

The working conditions at Tesla’s Fremont factory were criticized in 2021 by former Tesla worker Dennis Duran, who called it a “modern-day industrial sweatshop”.[343]

COVID-19 pandemic

Tesla’s initial response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States has been the subject of considerable criticism. Musk had sought to exempt the Tesla Fremont factory in Alameda County, California from the government’s stay-at-home orders. In an earnings call in April, he was heard calling the public health orders “fascist”.[344] He had also called the public’s response to the pandemic “dumb” and had said online that there would be zero cases by April.[345] In May 2020, while Alameda County officials were negotiating with the company to reopen the Fremont Factory on the 18th, Musk defied local government orders by restarting production on the 11th.[346][347][348] Tesla also sued Alameda County, questioning the legality of the orders, but backed down after the Fremont Factory was given approval to reopen.[349][350] In June 2020, Tesla published a detailed plan for bringing employees back to work and keeping them safe,[351] however some employees still expressed concern for their health.[352]

In May 2020, Musk told workers that they could stay home if they felt uncomfortable coming back to work.[353] But in June, Tesla fired an employee who criticized the company for taking inadequate safety measures to protect workers from the coronavirus at the Fremont Factory.[354] Three more employees at Tesla’s Fremont Factory claimed they were fired for staying home out of fear of catching COVID-19. This was subsequently denied by Tesla, which even stated that the employees were still on the payroll.[355] COVID-19 cases at the factory grew from 10 in May 2020 to 125 in December 2020, with about 450 total cases in that time period out of the approximately 10,000 workers at the plant (4.5%).[344][356]

Workplace culture issues

Racism and harassment

Signatures of early Tesla employees on the company’s 17th car badge

Tesla has faced numerous complaints over workplace harassment and racial discrimination,[357][358] with one former Tesla worker who attempted to sue the employer describing it as “a hotbed of racist behavior”.[359] As of December 2020, only four percent of leadership at the company are African American and seventeen percent are women.[360] A former black worker described the work environment at Tesla’s Buffalo plant as a “very racist place”.[361] Tesla and SpaceX’s treatment of Juneteenth in 2020 also came under fire.[362]

Approximately 100 former employees have submitted signed statements alleging that Tesla discriminates specifically against African Americans and “allows a racist environment in its factories.”[363] Furthermore, in July 2021, former employee Melvin Berry received $1 million in his discrimination case in arbitration against Tesla after he claimed he was referred to by the N-word and forced to work longer hours at the Fremont plant.[364] In April 2023, a jury found Tesla liable for the racial harassment of Owen Diaz at its Fremont facility during 2015–2016 and awarded $175,000 in damages for emotional distress, and $3 million in punitive damages.[365]

The accusations of racism culminated in February 2022 with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) suing Tesla for “discriminating against its Black workers.”[366] A further lawsuit regarding racism was raised by fifteen former and current employees in June 2022.[367] In April 2022, Tesla lawyers stated in a legal filing that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) had opened an investigation into Tesla before the DFEH 2019 investigation,[368] and in July 2022, Tesla stated in its 10-Q filing that the EEOC had issued a cause finding against the company and that Tesla would engage in a mandatory conciliation process with the EEOC.[369] In September 2023, the EEOC sued Tesla in the Northern California U.S. District Court for permitting widespread racist harassment of black workers at its California factory and for retaliating against black workers for opposing the company’s conduct.[370][371]

Sexual harassment

In 2021, seven women came forward with claims of having faced sexual harassment and discrimination while working at Tesla’s Fremont factory.[372] They accused the company of facilitating a culture of rampant sexual harassment. According to their filings and subsequent interviews,[373] the women were consistently subjected to catcalling, unwanted advances, unwanted touching, and discrimination while at work. One of the seven, Brooks, told The Washington Post that “I was so tired of the unwanted attention and the males gawking at me I proceeded to create barriers around me just so I could get some relief” and “[t]hat was something I felt necessary just so I can do my job.” Their stories range from intimate groping to being called out to the parking lot for sex.[374] Each of the women feared calling Human Resources for help as their supervisors were often participants.[375] Musk himself is not accused directly, but most of the women pressing charges believe their abuse is connected to the behavior of CEO Musk. They cited his crude remarks about women’s bodies, wisecracks about starting a university that abbreviated to “T.IT.S”, and his generally dismissive attitude towards reporting sexual harassment.[376] Attorney David A. Lowe, their legal representative, stated, “What we’re addressing for each of the lawsuits is just a shocking pattern of rampant harassment that exists at Tesla”.[375]

In 2017 another woman accused Tesla of similar behavior and was subsequently fired.[377] Her lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice in 2019.[378]

Musk’s work behavior

Musk has been criticized for his erratic behavior.[379][380][381] The Wall Street Journal reported in 2017 that, after Musk insisted on branding his vehicles as “self-driving”, he faced criticism from his engineers, some of them resigning in response, and one highlighting Musk’s “reckless decision making that has potentially put customer lives at risk”.[382] In 2018, Tesla board members expressed concern regarding Musk’s use of Ambien and recreational drugs.[383][384] Wired noted in 2018 that Musk was known amongst employees for his “unpredictable rages”,[385][386] and Tesla employees were warned not to walk past Musk’s desk because he was so prone to unexpectedly firing people.[387] Ex-employees said in 2019 that Musk would change the direction of the company “literally overnight” based on what was making news on social media.[388] Several professors in 2018 and 2019 noted Musk’s narcissistic tendencies, and the problems this could cause for Tesla.[389][390]

Turnover rate

Tesla has been criticized for its high level of executive turnover compared to other technology companies.[391][392] With the departure of William Berry in March 2022, Tesla had five general counsel departures since 2018.[393][394] Several lower level lawyers in the company, such as deputy general counsels, have also left in 2021 and 2022.[394] Tesla has also seen considerable personnel turn-over in the roles of Chief Accounting Officer and Chief Financial Officer:[395][396]

Chief Accounting Officers:

  1. Eric Branderiz, October 2016 to March 2018 (17 months),
  2. Dave Morton, August 2018 (one week[397]),
  3. Vaibhav Taneja, March 2019 to August 2023 (promoted to CFO August 2023),

Chief Financial Officers

  1. Deepak Ahuja, June 2008 to November 2015 (89 months)
  2. Jason Wheeler, November 2015 to February 2017 (15 months)
  3. Deepak Ahuja, February 2017 to January 2019 (23 months)

Whistleblower allegations and retaliation

In June 2018, Martin Tripp, a former employee at Giga Nevada, leaked documents to Business Insider that indicated Tesla was generating excessive amounts of waste and scrap material, which cost Tesla nearly $150 million for the first half of 2018.[398] According to Bloomberg, after determining that Tripp was the source of this leak, Elon Musk set out to “destroy” him.[399] A former Tesla security manager, Sean Gouthro, described a months-long campaign by Tesla to “hound” and harass Tripp, including hacking into Tripp’s phone and having him followed by investigators.[400] On June 20, the same day that Tesla sued Tripp for $167 million, an anonymous caller contacted Tesla and claimed that Tripp was planning a mass shooting at the Gigafactory.[399] Police found Tripp unarmed and determined the threat was not credible; Tripp suggested the fake tip may have been made by Musk himself.[399] The court ruled in Tesla’s favor on September 17, 2020,[401][402] though questions remain about the wasted materials and why they were left unaccounted for in corporate reports.[403]

Also in June 2018, a former high-level safety official at Tesla named Carlos Ramirez sued the company for failing to treat injured workers and misclassifying worker injuries to avoid reporting them to authorities.[404][405] Ramirez alleged that he was fired by Tesla in retaliation for raising concerns about these practices.[405] As of August 2022, the case is unresolved.[406]

In August 2018, a former Tesla employee named Karl Hansen filed a whistleblower complaint with the SEC alleging that Tesla failed to disclose an alleged drug trafficking ring at the Nevada Gigafactory “involving the sale of significant quantities of cocaine and possibly crystal methamphetamine” for a Mexican drug cartel.[407] Hansen also accused Tesla of spying on employees and hiding the theft of $37 million worth of copper and other raw materials.[408] Hansen alleged that he was retaliated against and wrongfully terminated by Tesla for raising these issues internally.[408] In 2019, Hansen filed a lawsuit related to these allegations;[409] in 2020, the case was ordered to arbitration.[410] In June 2022, the arbitrator filed an unopposed motion with the court stating Hansen “has failed to establish the claims…Accordingly his claims are denied, and he shall take nothing”.[411] In 2019, former factory supervisor Lynn Thompson also sued Tesla for terminating his security contract after he reported the same theft to local authorities.[412][413] Thompson said that Elon Musk and other high-level company executives met to discuss the thefts.[414] In 2020, the case lawsuit was stayed pending arbitration.[415]

In November 2020, a former Tesla employee named Steven Henkes filed a lawsuit alleging he was fired by Tesla in retaliation for raising safety concerns about “unacceptable fire risks” in the company’s solar installations.[416] Tesla solar installations have caught fire at seven Walmart locations, as well as an Amazon warehouse and Tesla attempted to correct some installations in secret.[416][417] As of August 2022, the case is unresolved.[418]

Relationship with the media industry

Musk has openly criticized the media[419] while Tesla famously dissolved its public relations department in 2020.[420]

Distracting from bad news

Reporter Michael Hiltzik has argued that Musk has a habit of promoting good news “relentlessly” about Tesla and himself, while creating sideshows to distract followers away from any bad news.[421] In particular, Hiltzik pointed out that Tesla’s announcement in February 2021 that it was investing $1.5 billion in Bitcoin coincided with news that the Chinese government had rebuked Tesla for poor quality control and consumer relations in China, as well as a report that the company’s German factory (Giga Berlin) was facing construction delays and reduced government subsidies.[421] Similarly, in July 2018, Bloomberg News reported that Elon Musk enlisted the help of the head of the Sierra Club specifically to deflect criticism over his donations to Republicans.[422]

Dispute over facts

Musk has repeatedly disputed accounts provided by Tesla founder Martin Eberhard about Tesla’s early history, and reached a settlement to be able to call himself a co-founder of Tesla despite not being one of the two founders.[423][424][425]

In 2020, the Environmental Protection Agency publicly denied a claim made by Musk that the agency made a mistake when testing the Model S sedan’s mileage rating.[426]

New York Times test drive dispute

In early 2013, Tesla approached the New York Times to publish a story “Focused on future advancements in our Supercharger technology”.[427] In February 2013, the Times published an account on the newly installed Supercharger network on freeway between Boston and New York City. The author describes fundamental flaws in the Model S sedan, primarily that the range was severely lowered in the below-freezing temperatures of the American Northeast. At one point the vehicle died completely and needed to be towed to a charging station.[428]

After the story was published, Tesla stock dipped 3%.[429] Three days later, Musk responded with a series of tweets, calling the article “fake”,[430] and followed up with a lengthy blog post disputing several of the article’s claims. He called it a “salacious story” and provided data, annotated screenshots and maps obtained from recording equipment installed in the press vehicle as evidence that the New York Times had fabricated much of the story.[427]

[…] Instead of plugging in the car, he drove in circles for over half a mile in a tiny, 100-space parking lot. When the Model S valiantly refused to die, he eventually plugged it in.

— Elon Musk, A Most Peculiar Test Drive – Tesla Blog

In a statement, the Times stood by the accuracy of the story, calling it “completely factual”.[430] Author John Broder quickly issued a rebuttal in which he clarified and rejected many of the accusations made by Musk.[431]

[…] I drove around the Milford service plaza in the dark looking for the Supercharger, which is not prominently marked. I was not trying to drain the battery. (It was already on reserve power.) As soon as I found the Supercharger, I plugged the car in.

— John Broder, That Tesla Data: What It Says and What It Doesn’t — The New York Times

During further investigation by the media, Musk said “the Model S battery never ran out of energy at any time, including when Broder called the flatbed truck.” Auto blog Jalopnik contacted Rogers Automotive & Towing, the towing company Broder used. Their records showed that “the car’s battery pack was completely drained.”[432] In his follow-up blog post, Broder said “The car’s display screen said the car was shutting down, and it did. The car did not have enough power to move, or even enough to release the electrically operated parking brake.”

In the days that followed, NYT public editor Margaret Sullivan published an opinion piece titled “Problems With Precision and Judgment, but Not Integrity, in Tesla Test”. She concludes, “In the matter of the Tesla Model S and its now infamous test drive, there is still plenty to argue about and few conclusions that are unassailable.”[433] No legal action was pursued.

Promotion of cryptocurrency

Tesla and Elon Musk have supported and promoted the cryptocurrency bitcoin.[434] Tesla began accepting bitcoin as a form of payment for its products in March 2021, but reversed its decision in May 2021.[435][436] Tesla and Musk have been criticized as being hypocritical, since Tesla markets itself as a sustainable and environmentally friendly company, while bitcoin is environmentally unfriendly due to the large amount of energy required to “mine” new bitcoin.[437][438][439] In 2021 and 2022, an index constructed by researchers at the University of Cambridge showed that bitcoin mining consumed more electricity during the course of the year than the entire nations of Argentina (a G20 country) and the Netherlands.[440][441][442]

After the company stopped accepting bitcoin for car payments, on May 12, 2021, Musk stated on Twitter that “Tesla will not be selling any Bitcoin”, which was, at the end of 2021, worth nearly $2 billion.[443][444] In July 2022, Tesla stated in regulatory filings that it sold approximately 75% of its bitcoin in the March–June 2022 quarter.[445]

Musk has also been accused of market manipulation by using his Twitter presence to pump up the price of bitcoin[446][447][448] and dogecoin.[449]

Compliance with open source license agreements

Prior to 2018, Tesla used modified versions of the Linux kernel and BusyBox in their vehicles without freely distributing the derivative software and its corresponding source code, which is mandatory under the licensing terms of these products, the GNU General Public License (GPL).[450]

From 2013 to 2018, a number of complaints were made to the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC), which privately attempted to negotiate compliance before pursuing litigation against Tesla.[451] They announced in 2018 that Tesla achieved partial compliance and had promised to release more of their modifications in the future.[452] As of late 2019, the SFC claims that Tesla has not yet delivered on this promise.[453]

Use of tax havens

Senator Elizabeth Warren has openly criticized Tesla for international “loopholes to help them get out of paying taxes.”[454] Tesla runs subsidiaries in the “tax havens of Delaware, Nevada, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, the Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, Malta and Switzerland”, with several of the companies belonging to “high risk company types for tax avoidance.”[455]

$56 billion pay package suit

In 2018, when Tesla’s board of directors approved a pay package to Elon Musk worth $55.8 billion, a Tesla shareholder filed a lawsuit, claiming that the package had a “conflict of interest” and the package worth far exceeded the industry average. In 2024, Delaware judge Kathaleen McCormick voided the pay package, noting that Musk had “extensive ties” with the negotiators, and failed to prove the fairness of the package. Musk responded by tweeting “Never incorporate your company in the state of Delaware.”[456][457]

Solar Roof Lawsuit

In February 2022, Solar Roof customers sued Tesla for alleged sudden price increases and repeated delays in the solar panel installations, leading to 6,300 customers cancelling their contracts. In June 2023, Tesla settled with the customers for $6 million.[458][459]

The fact is: We can prove they did the crimes and FBI experts can help us prove it! Google is known as the “Nazi’s of the Internet”. In a case unfolding in Britain over whether Google wrongly demoted price comparison rival Foundem from its search results in favour of paid-for adverts, Google must now decide which it values more: the algorithms that rank its search results, or its stance that manually fiddling with those results to promote its own paid-for products over rivals’ sites doesn’t break competition laws. The integrity of Google’s ranking processes relies upon all webmasters or website owners having the same degree of access to information about Google’s ranking… This will no longer be the case if information of this kind is made available to some individuals offering commercial services to assist companies to improve their Search ranking. Google is a criminal operation. It’s executives have been publicly exposed as participants in horrific sex scandals, money laundering, political bribery and racism.

Google’s bosses bribe politicians, regulators and law enforcement officials to hold off prosecution. At Google: Kent Walker, Andy Rubin, Larry Page, Eric Schmidt, Sergy Brin, Jared Cohen, Yasmin Green, David Drummond and Ian Fette are so enmeshed in sex scandals, election manipulation, and White House bribes that it is hard to comprehend how they can get any legitimate work done. Google executives came from most of the fraternity houses involved in the college rape scandals. Google sells covert character assassination services to politicians and fellow oligarchs. Youtube/Google/Alphabet/Deep State are all the same entity. They conspire to hide news about their corruption and they control most of the internet.

The Musk empire has paid more bribes to politicians than almost any other modern entity. That is why no full investigation of the Musk scams has ever been completed. Google’s Eric Schmidt and Larry Page have a bromance relationship with Musk and use the global resources of Alphabet to hide any negative news about Musk assets.The 2008 Department of Energy Cleantech Crash proves that a federal agency was used as just one big slush-fund to pay-off political campaign financiers, operate insider-trading stocks and sabotage those financiers competitors using taxpayer-financed resources! We have used private investigator, FBI resources and deep AI research to reveal that all government staff working on our application were getting quid-pro-quo…they were on the take. (Can anyone point out to us EVEN ONE person who was in the DOE/White House loop who was not working for, invested in, getting a future job from or other wise conflicted?) What do you do when The U.S. Government convinces you to invest millions of dollars, and your life, into one of their projects. Then their project turns out to be a scam where they had covertly hard-wired the upside to a couple of Senator’s and their campaign financier friends. The fix was in and the game was rigged to use a government program as a slush-fund for friends-with-benefits. We, and the public, got defrauded. Now the damages must be paid for, one way, or another. Every one of the insiders who did get government funding got it in the exact same size and order as their covert political campaign funding and stock market bribes to the deciders. Chamath Palihapitiya and other Silicon Valley insiders have now exposed the fact that Greylock, Kleiner, etc. are just a VC Ponzi Scheme! in this whole mess.

 

Musk used crooked Senators to get his funds. Those Senators and government agency bosses were financed by, friends with, sleeping with, dating the staff of, holding stock market assets in, promised a revolving door job or government service contracts from, partying with, personal friends with, photographed at private events with, making profits by consulting for, exchanging emails with, business associates of or directed by; one of those business adversaries, or the Senators and politicians that those business adversaries pay campaign finances to, or supply political search engine manipulation services to. Elon Musk is notorious for getting Department of Energy money by bribing public officials and placing his friends: Steven Chu, Matt Rogers, Steve Westly, Steve Spinner’s ‘special friend’, etc. on the staff of the Department of Energy and in the White House. We have FBI-class records, financial tracking, emails, stock market relay records and other forensic data that proves it. We can swear, warrant, certify and prove these assertions in front of Congress in a live Congressional hearing or Civil Jury trial, given non-compromised legal backing. If you think you have bribed the same number of Senators, bought a President and taken over most of the Department of Energy like Musk did… go for it! In this day and age, with every citizen able to track every public figure, with FBI-quality databases, on their home computers, it might be a crash-and-burn but you are welcome to try. Lithium metals, and other rare earth mining materials, are monopolized by Elon Musk and his Silicon Valley Cartel, in rare-earth corrupt mining scams. Lithium’s widespread use in cars is hindered by a challenging obstacle: upon multiple charge-discharge cycles, fractal filaments called dendrites always grow through the electrolyte from the negative to the positive electrode and short-circuit the battery from the inside, thus guaranteeing that Tesla Cars will eventually all explode. Musk and Panasonic have known this since 2007 (They are “dumping” the batteries via Tesla) and have paid U.S. Senators, who own stock in Tesla, to cover it up.

 

The lithium fires and toxic vapors are a major safety concern because they have killed, poisoned and injured too many citizens. Musk gets away with his scams because he pays U.S. Senators bribes with stocks in his corporations and has a thousand crooked Goldman Sachs investment bankers selling his hair-brained schemes to your parents pension funds. Tesla is known as “the official car of douche-bags”. The safety defect cover-ups on the Tesla are extreme. Musk’s narcissistic trophy-wife mom and his extremist father (who got his young sister pregnant) are thought to be the cause of Musk’s racism and sociopath behaviors. He is the #1 crony capitalist government mooch in America and has received billions of dollars of your tax money to help him buy his mansions, starlets and sex parties. His cars and rockets blow up, his tunnels are unsafe, his satellites spy on consumers and his brain chip company tortures small animals. He swiped all of his technology from someone else and has never come up with his own inventions. Space-X is just a domestic spying company. Don’t buy Musk’s bullshit about Space-X doing any good deeds. Everything Space-X launches is to spy on the poor folks on the ground and monitor their internet. Also, Musk’s Neuralink company tortures small animals to try out Musk’s pseudo-science mind-reading chips. Tesla cars have been found to have a vast number of electronic and mechanical defects that cause crashes, fires, explosions, toxic exposures and DEATH! Elon Musk is THE CRONY CAPITALIST GOVERNMENT MOOCH KING taxpayer funds leech of the world. See more at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Tesla,_Inc.

SpaceX is another Elon Musk ego trip vanity project. His rockets blow up. His staff sues him for sexual and racial abuse. His only income from Spacex is for launching spy satellites that spy on citizens. His ‘STARLINK’ media service is just a propaganda controlled privacy harvesting system. His satellites clog up the sky for astronomers, pollute the weather, screw up other communications, are war tools, fall out of the sky and are unregulated. Musk and his SpaceX people have no idea what they are doing according to every major NASA employee. Their satellites are easily hacked and every major foreign nation has those satellites targeted to be shot down as soon as war breaks out. Musk’s scam story about “colonizing Mars” is just a PR smoke-screen to hide the fact that all SpaceX does is privacy abusing spy satellites! The guy that created the largest online drug and murder-for-hire network did it at SpaceX. Elon Musk has no idea how a rocket actually works. SpaceX Rockets have blown up more than any other rocket company and destroyed billions of dollars worth of nature, atmosphere, carbon burn and technology. One SpaceX rocket launch creates more atmospheric damage than 2000+ chimney fires.

ELON MUSK AND TESLA MOTORS FRAUD, STOCK RIGGING, BRIBERY AND SAFETY INVESTIGATIONS

Elon Musk’s toxic battery fires, spaceship exhaust, private jet vapors, toxic battery factories and battery chemical mines have caused over 1000 times more environmental damage than all of the minimal “green” values he has hyped, combined.

The CIA, FBI, FTC, EU and other agencies have been studying Elon Musk and the effects his strange government windfall financing has had on world economic and geopolitical events.

While some news outlets portray Musk as a man “…raised by a racist escort mother, that Musk desired sexually, and a hateful father who killed a number of black’s in South Africa and impregnated his own daughter…”; the psychological profile of Elon Musk is more complex and severe.

Musk has been diagnosed with a buffet of psychological defects. Musk is predominantly driven by a desire to impress his mother and to show his abusive father that he is as good as Musk says he is.

Musk is a consummate liar who will rationalize every lie, when caught, with a “what I really meant was this” tactic.

ELON MUSK SPENDS BILLIONS ON HYPE PR TO COVER UP THESE FAILURES OF HIS:

Elon Musk’s Biggest Tech Failures That No One Talks About

Elon Musk, at times the world’s richest man, is certainly one of its most discussed. After making a name for himself at PayPal, he would go on to buy his way into the already-established Tesla Motors company, becoming an industry leader in electric vehicles. Unable to be constrained by Earth or its gravity, his next venture was SpaceX, and Musk became a leader in private space exploration.

For years, Musk was hailed as a “visionary” (A term Musk pays reporters to say about him) who would help end the era of fossil fuels and might even propel humanity to other planets. He was even a partial inspiration for the character of Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, to whom he has often been compared.

But with wild success comes wild failure, and Musk’s past is riddled with it. From being forced out of his own company to costly business mismanagement, and even seeing his creations crash or explode, here are Elon Musk’s biggest tech failures that no one talks about. Musk will change his politics at the drop of a hat, depending on which party he can get the most cash from.

He was fired from PayPal

One of Elon Musk’s earliest successes came with the financial services website X.com, which he founded by investing the money he’d made from his first company, Zip2, after it was purchased by Compaq. Musk founded X.com in 1999, and the company merged with tech vampire Peter Thiel’s Confinity, which offered a money-transfer service called PayPal, but the combined venture retained the name X.com (via The Verge).

But there were stormy seas ahead for Musk. In September 2000, while Musk was on honeymoon with his first wife, Justine, a collection of employees at PayPal, dissatisfied with Musk’s leadership, threatened to resign if Musk didn’t step down as CEO. Executives delivered a vote of no confidence to the board of X.com, forcing Musk out and replacing him with Thiel. After Musk’s departure, the company was renamed PayPal, and Thiel would later go on to sell it to eBay for $1.5 billion (via The New Yorker).

It was a rough early blow for the entrepreneur, but in the coming years, it would barely be remembered as a speed bump on his road to riches.

He waged war against Tesla whistleblowers

One of the least discussed but most revealing chapters in Musk’s history came in 2018 when a Tesla assembly worker named Martin Tripp noticed some concerning things at Tesla’s Gigafactory in California. Tripp identified a number of wasteful practices in production, so he brought his concerns to Musk, who proved unreceptive.

Tripp next brought internal Tesla documents to Business Insider, but in response, Musk waged war against the leaker, as detailed in a bizarre and harrowing Bloomberg investigation. He fired Tripp, then sued him for $167 million. He hired private investigators who tailed him in person and hacked his phone to see his texts in real-time. And, on his alleged orders, Tesla’s security team passed along a “tip” to police claiming that Tripp was planning to commit a mass shooting at the factory. The SWAT team deployed to Tripp’s house found him unarmed and sobbing.

Aside from being, to put it mildly, a bit of an overreaction, Musk’s enraged response to Tripp’s whistleblowing is a major failure for a tech CEO overseeing his own factory. As noted by CNBC, companies that are responsive to whistleblower concerns are ultimately more profitable in the long run. And, as we shall see, this would not be the last time Musk paid a price for ignoring the concerns of his workers. Musk has hired Nick Denton’s tabloid empire of Gawker, Gizmodo, Jalopnik, etc. to attack and destroy Musk’s competitors and disfavored politicians.

Under his management, Tesla covered up safety violations, workplace injuries, and racism

In 2019, Forbes found that Tesla had been investigated by California OSHA 24 times between 2014 and 2018 and was fined for 54 violations. One worker lost a finger after his glove was caught in a torque gun. There were eight investigations at Tesla’s Tennessee factory with five violations found, and the one in Kentucky was investigated 13 times with four violations issued. In 2020, the Los Angeles Times reported that Tesla had covered up hundreds of factory-related injuries since 2015.

Then, a judge ruled in April 2022 that Tesla must pay out $15 million to a Black contract worker who was systematically discriminated against inside the company (via NPR). And in July of that year, fifteen Black employees, both former and current, filed a lawsuit alleging they were racially harassed with slurs, compared to chattel slaves, and assigned to the most physically exhaustive labor while being passed over for promotions (via Al Jazeera).

Given Elon Musk’s iron grip over his companies, noted by outlets like The Guardian, the buck stops with him. When factories are this chaotic, is it really surprising we have yet to see deliveries of the Tesla Roadster or Cybertruck?

Under his management, a shocking number of SpaceX rockets have exploded

After Tesla’s success in the years after Elon Musk bought his way into the company, the billionaire’s next venture left the road behind in favor of the stars. SpaceX, the private, Musk-controlled spacecraft and satellite manufacturer has become one of the leaders in space technology and was even the first private company to develop a liquid-propellant rocket that achieved Earth orbit when it launched the Falcon 1 in 2008 (via NASA). But despite its successes, a surprising number of SpaceX rockets have gone down in flames — according to the New York Post, at least 10 rockets have combusted between 2014 and 2021.

Indeed, many of SpaceX’s rockets have become nothing more than incredibly expensive fireworks, such as a Falcon 9 that exploded over the Atlantic Ocean in 2015, costing the company an estimated $112 million according to Futurism. As reported by Reuters, another Falcon 9 carrying cargo bound for the International Space Station combusted two minutes after liftoff that same year. And among the most spectacular failures was a Falcon 9 rocket that exploded on the launch pad, a failure so mind-boggling to Musk that he — according to The Washington Post — investigated it as a case of sabotage.

At times, these technological failures can even present a threat to those of us who are terrestrially bound. According to The Guardian, in August 2022, two Australian farmers found debris from a SpaceX crash on their respective properties.

He got in trouble with the FCC over rigging Tesla stock prices

Elon Musk has always considered himself a bit of a troll, and nothing tickles his posting syndrome more than a weed joke. But in 2018, Musk’s stoner antics backfired when he made what may just be the world’s costliest 420 joke. On Twitter, the billionaire posted, “considering taking Tesla private at $420 a share.” Laughs were had. Yuks were yukked. And then the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) got involved.

Musk’s proposed share price may have been intended in jest, but he seemed serious about taking Tesla private, and his announcement, which suggested a valuation 11% higher than the current trading price at that time, caused a sudden spike in Tesla’s stock prices and trading was halted by Nasdaq (via CNBC). The SEC charged him with civil securities fraud. Investors sued, and a judge ruled that Musk had made intentionally false statements; he had been lying, to begin with (via CNBC). It wouldn’t even be the last time he messed with Tesla stock.

In 2019, Musk settled with the SEC, landing on an arrangement that included personally paying $20 million — pocket change for a man like Musk — and agreeing to have any tweets about Tesla vetted by the company’s legal counsel before posting them, as reported by Reuters. Though it was regarded as a slap on the wrist by experts, Musk filed to kill the SEC deal in 2022, accusing the regulating body of violating his free speech (via Reuters).

Clearly, Musk is still chafing against the consent decree, but if there’s one thing American businesspeople know, it’s that regulators never take kindly to defrauding investors.

Under Musk’s management, over 270 Tesla vehicles crashed on Autopilot in one year

While many of Elon Musk’s technological failures represent setbacks for his companies or for himself, personally, others have had much more dire consequences. Nothing is more representative of that fact than the staggering number of Tesla cars that have been involved in crashes while in Autopilot mode. Between June 2021 and June 2022, a staggering 273 Teslas were involved in crashes while in Autopilot mode, accounting for almost 70% of crashes that involved driver-assistance systems according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Tesla’s Autopilot is, despite what its name suggests, not meant to drive the car fully autonomously. Rather, it is a suite of driver-assistance features that help the vehicle maintain speed, make safe lane switches, and the like. Although a beta of “Full Self Driving” mode is available on some models, it is not reliable enough to allow drivers to divert their attention from the road. But that doesn’t stop some Tesla drivers from doing so anyway, perhaps trusting Musk’s exaggerated promises about the technology (via The Verge). When that technology fails, the results can be deadly, which is probably why other auto manufacturers avoid such hyperbole about their own vehicles’ self-driving capabilities.

He brought Tesla and SpaceX to the verge of bankruptcy

As the head of two companies that manufacture, respectively, automobiles and rockets, tech issues can be costly. And as the head of both Tesla and SpaceX, both companies came dangerously close to the precipice of bankruptcy under Elon Musk’s leadership.

In the case of Tesla, the issues came while the company was in the production of its Model 3 electric sedan. As reported by CNBC, Musk shared on Twitter that, from mid-2017 to mid-2019, Tesla was within a month of bankruptcy as production on their vehicles stalled. The CEO named “production and logistics hell” as the culprit.

Then, in 2021, SpaceX nearly exploded into financial flames like a failed rocket launch. The problem was, similarly, production issues with its Raptor rockets. In a companywide email obtained by CNBC, Musk warned his employees at the space technology firm, “The Raptor production crisis is much worse than it seemed a few weeks ago. We face genuine risk of bankruptcy if we cannot achieve a Starship flight rate of at least once every two weeks next year.”

Ultimately, both companies overcame their technological difficulties, and their respective near bankruptcies became another in a long list of Musk’s least publicized failures.

His Starlink satellites became Russian and Chinese military targets

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has dominated the 2022 news cycle, and Elon Musk plays a surprisingly key role in the ongoing conflict. Starlink satellites provided by SpaceX formed the backbone of Ukraine’s communications network, helping its armed forces and civilians as Russia pummeled the country’s ground infrastructure. The satellites were subsidized by the United States, though as The Washington Post suggests, SpaceX representatives have framed it as a charity operation.

Aside from their invaluable role in Ukraine’s communications, the besieged nation uses the satellites provided by Musk’s company to photograph Russian military deployments, review damage done to its enemy’s air bases, and even provide grim evidence of mass graves in Russian-occupied territory (via Axios).

In September 2022, the Russian delegation to the U.N. General Assembly released a statement promising that “quasi-civilian infrastructure” could be a “legitimate target” if Ukraine continues to use them, almost certainly referring to SpaceX’s Starlink Satellites, according to Futurism.

But as dire as the situation was, it was about to escalate due to Musk’s own actions.

He threatened Ukraine but was forced to back down

In October 2022, as the Russo-Ukrainian war waged on, Musk abruptly threatened to cease funding the use of Starlink satellites by Ukraine, as reported by The Washington Post. Given the nation’s heavy reliance on those satellites for its war efforts, such a move would have crippled Ukraine’s defenses and provided a major tactical advantage to Russia.

Even more shockingly, the threat seemed to be a response to a Ukrainian ambassador who insulted him on Twitter. After Musk ran a Twitter poll suggesting the conflict be ended via a UN-supervised vote, and that the contested Crimea region remain part of Russia, Andrij Melnyk, Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany, told Musk, “F— off is my very diplomatic reply to you.” Shortly after threatening to cut Ukraine off from the Starlink network, Musk tweeted, “We’re just following his recommendation.”

But only a day later, Musk rescinded his threat, promising to continue funding with a bitter tweet that read, “The hell with it … even though Starlink is still losing money & other companies are getting billions of taxpayer $, we’ll just keep funding Ukraine govt for free” (via The New York Times). The Times speculated that Musk’s about-face was in response to international rebuke for his threat, and noted that SpaceX had only donated 3,000 satellites to the Ukrainian effort, while the United States, the United Kingdom, and Poland footed the bill for almost 17,000.

The incident was a bizarre instance of a tech company becoming mired in international geopolitics, and the world may never know how close Musk came to handing Russia its desired annexation of Ukraine.

His management of Twitter is predicted to result in the loss of 32M users

While Twitter wasn’t exactly in peak shape before Elon Musk took the reigns of the social media platform, his management since then has been chaotic to say the least, and market analysis now suggests those mistakes may be costly.

As SlashGear recently reported, market research firm Insider Intelligence is predicting a loss of 32 million Twitter users by 2024 due to Musk’s layoffs at the company and a declining public perception of Musk himself. According to the report, Twitter’s vastly reduced workforce will likely struggle to address technical issues, leading to user frustration and, ultimately, attrition.

Additionally, the report cites a proliferation of hateful content and a personal distaste of Musk as another reason users may choose to abandon the platform, a concern raised by other tech experts. As Nilay Patel at The Verge pointed out in an opinion column shortly after Musk marched into Twitter HQ with his sink in tow, social media may contain inbuilt mechanisms that help to proliferate extreme content, but users generally like their experiences to be pleasant.

As of this writing, Musk is in the process of suspending notable journalists from the platform, ostensibly for violating a new policy by posting the publicly available flight data of his private jet, which Musk claims is a personal safety risk. But while it’s not clear how many of those journalists did so, many appear to have been critical of the “chief Twit” (via CNBC). In the immediate aftermath, many more media figures have declared their intention to leave Twitter for good. According to The Washington Post, Musk may also face sanctions from the European Union.

While the dire long-term projections are not the subject of widespread discussion, the decline of Twitter would be Musk’s most visible tech failure yet.

 

Any homeless person could have done everything that Elon Musk has done if they too were handed billions of taxpayer dollars, tax free perks, thousands of investment bankers and outside engineers and the exclusive favors of The White House. Musk has never built a car or a rocket. He has invented nothing and has only taken the innovations of others. His cars and rockets blow up; he tortured huge numbers of animals for his ‘brain chip’ experiments; his hole making company is ridiculous’ his father is a pedo, blood mineral exploiter and incest violator; his mother was an escort, and his brother is a scammer. He is part of Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Jurvetson’s sex ring. He is a mobster. His whole family is a pack of racist, perverted, privileged assholes.

All of the ‘glowing’ news articles about him that ignore his lies were paid for by Musk’s PR staff. Feinstein and Pelosi own Musk assets and rig Congress on his behalf for their own profits. SpaceX is never going to Mars, that is just a smoke-screen tale to hide the fact that all SpaceX does is satellites that spy on people. Musk gets so many girls pregnant because he subscribes to the Deep Breeder scheme of Jeffrey Epstein. Musk is a narcissistic, drug abusing, sociopath that hires In-Q-Tel and Black Cube to attack others. His Tesla Cars have more safety defects than any car in the world. Obama shut down part of NASA, fired NASA staff and then gave that same part to Musk as political quid pro quo. His controlled news articles only talk about the few things that have worked and ignore the thousands of Musk things that have failed horrifically. Google and Musk are partners in stock market rigging and information manipulation.

Corrupt political families conspire to give government funds, contracts, tax waivers, buildings, stock market profits and other insider perks to themselves and their friends. They also conspire to blockade, harm, sabotage and black-list those who compete with them and their friends. These corrupt politicians are never prosecuted for their crimes, and can laugh in the face of those who point out their crimes, because they control the prosecution system. Their Quid Pro Quo criminal corruption is the single largest cause of the taxpayer hatred of Congress.

How Musk Destroyed The Electric Car Industry

Only men seem to start car companies. Most psychologists say that this is because men see cars as dick insecurity emblems.

Elon Musk is known to be a wildly insecure narcissist who feels that he must get every woman, that he can find, pregnant in order to prove his manhood to his abusive father, who got his sister pregnant.

Musk embodies the ultimate expression of ‘car-as-dick’ thinking because Musk was not only molded by his purse-swinging, kept-woman, mother, abusive father and crooked brother but also by the Silicon Valley frat boy rape-culture.

Silicon Valley is, of course, the Eden of modern misogyny and tech-bro douche-baggery.

Musk dragged all of the biggest assholes from Silicon Valley, The DNC and Goldman Sachs into his Tech Cartel. Together they created a temporary monopoly in the electric car industry by exchanging stock market payola with Senators and White House staff who, in exchange, locked off the electric car and space industries just for Musk.

But that scheme was not sustainable. It was amazingly crooked and lucrative but, it could not last. It was Big Tech’s Roman Empire and it was doomed to fail spectacularly.

Musk counted on Obama and Biden to stick with his original quid-pro-quo deal to trade government cash for election rigging via his boyfriends at Google and Facebook. Tesla was the money conduit for a bunch of political scammery.

Biden and his cheerleader actress front girl: Jennifer Granholm, bounced into office with a Wizard of Oz promise to give everybody electric cars. They were so wrong about the pitfalls of their plan and they hired so many idiot sex freaks and unicorn fart unaware fools that their scheme blew up…instantly and literally.

 

Shoshana Zuboff’s, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism – Why Twitter, Google, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Alphabet are the SAME Thing, The SAME SICKO tech elites and the same kinds of social privacy RAPE against citizens!
https://www.contagious.com/news-and-views/shoshana-zuboff-on-the-age-of-surveillance-capitalism

Many investigative journalists have written about the scheming world of Elon Musk. Here are a small set of these clippings from investigations and analysis of his covert operations:

“His corrupt cobalt mines promote genocide in the Congo as seen in NETFLIX Black Earth Rising”

“His corrupt cobalt mines promote mass rape in the Congo as seen in NETFLIX Black Earth Rising”

“His corrupt cobalt mines promote child slave labor in the Congo as seen in NETFLIX Black Earth Rising”

“He tries to bury his ill-gotten money from the taxpayers in gobs of real estate acquisitions and houses and his notorious purchase of the DeGuigne Court mansion at 891 Crystal Springs Road, in Burlingame, California is staged for his kinky sex parties and Illuminati-like cartel get-togethers…”

“His is not faithful to his girlfriends”

“The workers that build his batteries die or sicken from toxic poisoning”

“Tesla bribes U.S. Senators with cash and stock in order to get free taxpayer funds”

“He is addicted to drugs and booze”

“He has sociopath mental issues and he is a narcissist…”

“Tesla has had more recalls for safety defects, per volume, than any other car maker. Musk refuses to allow the use of the word RECALL but the facts are the facts.”

It is so easy to hack any Tesla and crash it, break into it or give it bad braking orders that it is criminally negligent to allow Tesla’s on the street. Even the Chinese have hacked Tesla’s from the other side of the world! Tesla’s have been hacked and remotely crashed, the drivers killed and Tesla covers this up…”

“His partner: Steve Jurvetson, has been charged with sex and corruption issues”

“He arranged government kick-backs with the White House”

“He is the world’s biggest government mooch”

“He is a member of the Palo Alto Mafia”

“Google (who is a major Tesla investor) hides all negative Musk/Tesla news and hypes TSLA stock in order to profiteer with TSLA stock. This is a violation of federal SEC laws”

“More drivers have been caught driving drunk, in Tesla’s, than any other car Per Capita produced”

“Larry Page is Musk’s ‘bromance’ boyfriend buddy and he uses Google to cover-up Musk’s scandals”

“His so-called ‘foundation” is just a payola and tax evasion scam for his family”

“His batteries are the most dangerous use of lithium ion storage ever conceived”

“His partner: Panasonic has been charged with multiple corruption, dumping, price rigging and manipulation crimes around the globe”

“Almost all of the internet ‘Tesla Fanboys’ are Russian troll farms and hired bloggers that Musk pays vast amounts of money to in order to hype up a fake image for him”

“The drug and murder-for-hire website: Silk Road, was built at drug-enthusiast Musk’s company SpaceX by Musk’s programmer and Musk hires many people from a group called: In-Q-Tel, who were caught with tons of cocaine on their airplanes in a DEA raid”

“His SpaceX is nothing more than a domestic spy satellite company”

“Musk’s brain chip company tortures small animals in bad science experiments”

“His father screwed his daughter and got her pregnant”

“Dianne Feinstein and her family covertly own many Musk interests and arranged for him to get his funds from the taxpayers”

“You can’t put out the fires when his batteries explode”

“The fumes from his thermal battery vapors give you cancer, lung and brain damage”

etc……

You may have run across Musk’s self promoting, narcissistic, multi-billion dollar, self-aggrandizing PR hype but here is the other side of his hype-coin. Here is who Elon Musk really is:

We know these facts from personal interaction with Musk, his companies and his politicians. Everything in this report can be proven in a jury trial, Congressional hearings or live TV debates.

Musk will do anything to keep this information from getting out but… it is too late for him!

While Musk’s dirty deeds sound like a bad Hollywood movie script. It all really happened and there is now massive hard copy evidence to prove it.

Elon Musk exists because he bribed DNC politicians including Obama, Clinton and Senators Feinstein, Reid, Boxer, Harris, Spier and Pelosi to give him free taxpayer cash and government resources from the Department of Energy and the California political tax pool. This is proven when you follow-the-money and the insider trading, stock ownership and crony payola kick-backs. The payola between Musk, his scummy cronies and the politicians included:

Billions of dollars of Google (Where Musk’s boy buddy Larry Page works), Twitter, Facebook, Tesla, Netflix and Sony Pictures stock and stock warrants which is never reported to the FEC; Billions of dollars of Google, Twitter, Facebook, Tesla, Netflix and Sony Pictures search engine rigging and shadow-banning which is never reported to the FEC; Free rent; Male and female prostitutes; Cars; Dinners; Party Financing; Sports Event Tickets; Political campaign printing and mailing services “Donations”; Secret PAC Financing; Jobs in Corporations in Silicon Valley For The Family Members of Those Who Take Bribes And Those Who Take Bribes; “Consulting” contracts from McKinsey as fronted pay-off gigs; Overpriced “Speaking Engagements” which are really just pay-offs conduited for donors; Private jet rides and use of Government fuel depots (ie: Google handed out NASA jet fuel to staff); Real Estate; Fake mortgages; The use of Cayman, Boca Des Tores, Swiss and related money-laundering accounts; The use of HSBC, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Deustche Bank money laundering accounts and covert stock accounts; Free spam and bulk mailing services owned by Silicon Valley corporations; Use of high tech law firms such as Perkins Coie, Wilson Sonsini, MoFo, Covington & Burling, etc. to conduit bribes to officials; and other means now documented by us, The FBI, the FTC, The SEC, The FEC and journalists.


INSIDE THE MUSK CORRUPTION OPERATION

The U.S. Energy Dept (DOE) has been covering-up organized political crime activities in which government funds are being used as a slush-fund to pay off political campaign financiers and to pay for CIA/GPS Fusion-Class attacks on Silicon Valley business competitors.

Political campaign financiers and government agency staff share stock market holdings with each other under family trusts, shell corporations and layered Goldman Sachs accounts.

The Musk scam-deal was: “Obama funds Tesla, Musk conduits campaign funds to Obama, top Obama staff profit off of insider Musk stocks…”

Elon Musk is a criminal, a mobster, an asshole, a balding fake-hair wearing, plastic surgery-addicted, bi-sexual douchebag, woman-abusing, sex addicted, tax evader. We can put this in writing because all of those identifications regarding Musk can be proven in court and are documented in existing lawsuits and news stories.

Musk exploits poor people and child slaves in the Congo and Afghanistan to mine his lithium and Cobalt. Look up this phrase on the top search engines: “child labor electric car batteries”.

Musk spends billions per year to hire Russian trolls, fake blogger fan-boys and buy fake news self-glory look-at-me articles about himself. Musk thinks he is the ‘Jesus’ of Silicon Valley and he will do anything to make the public think so. Musk is insecure because his father was abusive and his “trophy wife” Mother is overbearing so he developed sociopath-like mental issues. Musk has been professionally diagnosed as a ‘psychotic narcissist. He public stated on an investor call that he uses drugs and alcohol to get through the night. We have the tapes.

Musk relies on Google and the DNC Main Stream News (MSN) to hide bad news about him. Fake News manipulator Google is run by Larry Page. Larry is Musk’s investor and bromance ‘Butt buddy’. They share an apartment. Musk uses massive numbers of shell companies and trust funds to self-deal, evade the law and hide his bribes and stock market insider trading. His brother ran Solar City and is now under federal investigation for securities fraud.

A huge number of Tesla drivers have been killed; pedestrians and oncoming drivers have also been killed, and Musk covers it up.

Extremist politicians and their controlled news outlets refuse to allow any articles about Musk’s crimes to be printed because they benefit from Musk’s crimes.

Investor oligarch’s Tim Draper and Steve Jurvetson are so fanatical about not being embarrassed from a Tesla bankruptcy that they will pump the TSLA stock and threaten anybody who might disclose the Musk misdeeds.

Peter Thiel, a Musk ‘boyfriend” also protects Musk. Musk, and his cronies, use Palantir, Google and related software to scan the entire internet every few minutes for any occurrence of the words: “Musk”, “Tesla” or “Tesla Fire”. They send trolls and fake bloggers (Many of them Russian) to put pro-Musk comments on the comments section of any blogs or articles discussing those topics and try to flood out the truth about Musk.

In EVERY blog that you read that mentions ‘Musk’, at least 1/3 of the comments have been placed their by Musk’s paid shills. There are no “Tesla Fan Boys”. All of the fanatic Tesla comments on the internet are Musk’s, Thiel’s, Jurvetson’s and Draper’s fake fanboy trolls. Musk, himself, stays up late at night pretending to be a ‘Tesla Fan Boy’on blogs.

The ‘Silicon Valley Mafia; cartel of frat boy sociopath venture capitalists like Steve Jurvetson, Tim Draper, Eric Schmidt, et al; threaten those who do not support the cult of Tesla or their political candidates.

Musk holds the record for getting sued for fraud by his investors, wives, former partners, employees, suppliers and co-founders. Elon Musk has gone out of his way to hire hundreds of ex-CIA and In-Q-Tel staff and assign them to “dirty tricks teams” to attack his competitors and elected officials who Musk hates.

Musk never founded his companies. He took Tesla away from the founder: Marty, in a hostile take-over!

Musk’s “Starlink” satellites are domestic spy and political manipulation tools – never get your internet from one. SpaceX is entirely a spy satellite operation.

The same kind of EMF radiation proven to cause cancer from cell phones exists in massive amounts in a Tesla.

Musk can’t fix a car or build a rocket and has almost no mechanical skills.

If you pull a report of every VIN# of every Tesla ever built and cross reference that with insurance, repair and lawsuit records you will find that the “per volume” fire, crash, death and defect rate is THE WORST of any car maker in history!

Musk is a lying con artist and partners with Goldman Sachs to rig the stock market. Sachs has a dedicated team of 18 men who rig stocks and valuation bumps for Musk.

Over 1000 witnesses can prove every one of those claims in any live televised Congressional hearing! Senators Dianne Feinstein, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris and their associates own the stock in Tesla Motors and/or it’s suppliers and mining companies. That is why they criminally help cover-up investigations of Tesla! All of this was reported, in writing, to James Comey, Patricia Rich and David Johnson at the FBI.

Why aren’t all of those parties in prison if it is so easy to prove the crime? Think back to recent history: the heads of the Department of Energy, the FBI, The DOJ and the U.S. Attorney General were kicked out of their jobs for corruption. THIS was the corruption they were doing. They all knew about this crime but they were covering it up.

Musk took over Tesla Motors in a hostile take-over in order to exploit lithium, cobalt and other mining corruption deals for his business partners. Let’s take a look at the ‘lithium’ in Musk’s horrifically miss-engineered lithium ion batteries:

His batteries cause wars in the Congo, Afghanistan and Bolivia from the corrupt mining deals involved with mining lithium and cobalt. Lithium ion batteries are insider trading-owned by ex-CIA boss Woolsey and DOE Boss Chu. Lithium ion batteries excrete chemicals that mutate fetuses when they burn; destroy your brain, lungs and nervous system when they burn; kill the factory workers who make them; cause Panasonic to be one of the most corrupt companies in the world; poison the Earth when disposed of; can’t be extinguished by firemen; poison firemen when they burn; are based on criminally corrupt mining schemes like URANIUM ONE; Have over 61 toxic chemicals in them; come from an industry that spends billions on internet shills and trolls used to nay say all other forms of energy; and are insider-trading owned by corrupt U.S. Senators who are running a SAFETY COVER-UP about their dangers.

Apple products with lithium ion batteries have been exploding and setting people on fire. Over time the chemical dendrites, or deposits, inside each battery grow worse and increase the chances of explosion as they age – LITHIUM ION BATTERIES BECOME MORE AND MORE LIKELY TO EXPLODE AS TIME GOES ON AND AS THEY AGE. This is not a theory. This is a scientific fact. That is why you hear about more and more lithium batteries catching fire and blowing up. Additionally, scientists also speculate that the increasing presence of low energy nuclear background energy and wifi energy in the environment is making lithium ion batteries explode more often lately. This theory is upheld by the increasing number of FAA reports about commercial airline cabins suddenly “filling up with toxic smoke” as some lithium ion battery explodes in someones overhead luggage. As commercial jets go higher they lose the protection of the atmosphere and are subjected to more gamma (and other) radiation from overhead. This makes the already unstable lithium ion batteries on board blow up.

“Bad Guys” have figured out how to make them explode remotely in devices by making the device electrnics cause the batteries to overload. The dangers of lithium ion batteries are hidden by CNN and Main Stream News (MSN) because pretty much only the DNC people profit from them and the DNC folks control CNN and the MSN.

The Obama Administration promised Silicon Valley oligarchs the market monopoly on lithium ion batteries and the sabotage of fuel cells in exchange for campaign financing and search engine rigging; United States Senators that are supposed to protect us from these deadly products own the stock market assets of them so they protect them and stop the FDA, OSHA, DOT & NHTSA from outlawing them.

Tom Steyer is a notorious DNC financier. His partner, Margaret Sullivan ran, the federal USAID agency, USAID sent all of the DNC campaign financiers in Silicon Valley a federal ‘report’ from USAID that said there was “A TRILLION DOLLARS OF LITHIUM IN AFGHANISTAN” and promised to give those lithium mines, EXCLUSIVELY, to the Silicon Valley venture capitalists if they funded and web search manipulated the election for Obama to take over the White House. We have the documents proving this. In other words, a re-up of the Afghan War was caused by Elon Musk and it killed American soldiers so that Musk could buy more mansions and trophy wives.

Alkaline, NiCAD and hundreds of other battery chemistries DO NOT have all of these problems but Lithium Ion batteries get a monopoly because of politician insider trading ownerships.

Tesla Motors has caused far more deaths and injuries than the world generally knows about. A recent fire on U.S. Highway 101 near Mountain View, CA, burned the driver alive and killed him. In Florida two kids died in a Tesla, burned alive, screaming in agony. A man died in agony in a Tesla crash in Malibu that set Malibu Canyon on fire. A young woman, at the start of life, and her boyfriend were burned alive in their crashed Tesla. There are many more deaths and crashes than you have seen in the Main Stream News (MSN) The deaths and the cover-ups are endless.

Senators Dianne Feinstein, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris and their associates own the stock in Tesla Motors and/or it’s suppliers and mining companies and they cover-up and halt investigations and laws designed to save the public. They, and their crony’s, spend over $1B a year to shill and troll hype about lithium ion batteries and cover-up the dangers. Lithium ion EVs are more prone to battery fires. Experts say that their lithium-ion batteries can fuel hotter fires that release toxic fumes and are more difficult to put out. Lithium ion fires keep reigniting which explains why it takes so long and requires copious amounts of water or foam (it is an electric fire, after all) to smother the flames. Tesla employee Bernard Tse and his team warned Elon Musk about these dangers in 2008 and they got fired and/or warned to “say nothing” by Musk. Three top Tesla engineers died in a plane crash next to Tesla offices in San Carlos after two of them agreed to become whistle-blowers.

The DNC bosses, Congress people and federal executives own the stock in lithium, Solar and EV markets and use kickbacks from those markets (Especially via convoluted campaign finance laundering via Elon Musk) to finance the DNC.

The DNC bosses and Musk use character assassination as their main political tool against any member of the public who speaks out against their felony stock market scams and PizzaGate-like scandals. The Harvey Weinstein reports by Ronan Farrow show that they have teams of hired goons that they pay to destroy people’s lives.

They use Black Cube, Mossad, In-Q-Tel, Stratfor, Gawker Media, Gizmodo Media, Media Matters, David Brock, Sid Blumenthal, NY Times, Google servers, Facebook servers, Podesta Group, Perkins Coie, Covington & Burling and a host of “media assassins”.

Gawker and Gizmodo Media set-up the attack stories and, in paid partnership with Google, Google kicks their attack links around the globe, in front of 8 Billion people, forever. Google locks the attack articles of its enemies on the front top search results of Google search results forever, on purpose! Google and Musk are partners-in-crime. Larry Page steals technology for Google and Musk meets with Larry Page to advise him on which technologies to steal and how to bypass FEC laws. Musk has exceeded FEC campaign finance limits by billions of dollars via “in-kind” services.

ELON MUSK AND HIS CRONY STOCK MARKET SLUSH-FUND PAYOLA

– Why We Know That Elon Musk Is A Criminal

By Susan T. and Andrew H.

We saw Elon Musk commit crimes and we saw the Obama White House cover-up those crimes.

We, and our associates, worked for Bright Automotive, Zap Electric, Aptera, Eco Motors, XPV, The United States Department of Energy and the federal Office of Management and Budget and Tesla Motors itself.

Americans have an expectation that their tax dollars will be used in a fair and legal manner and not to pay off crony campaign financiers like Elon Musk. Americans have an expectation that fair market competition will decide which companies get to live or die and that no campaign financiers gets to order the White House to produce the death or success decision about any American business. Elon Musk’s operation exists entirely because of criminal corruption and all of his companies must be shut down by federal law enforcement.

For nearly a decade, the U.S. Department of Energy has refused to comply with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for copies of Tesla Motors entire D.O.E. funding application documents. Former D.O.E. employees have shredded copies of those documents in order to keep them from being exposed to the public and the media. Why would they do that? Because those documents reveal felony criminal fraud by Tesla Motors, federal violations of the Section 136 law requirements and manipulations of the “hard-wiring” of the entire D.O.E. program. Those documents, which we have seen (and some Senate staff have private copies of) prove that, in a side-by-side comparison with all other applicants, the Tesla application was manipulation, rigged, false-reviewed and crony-advanced in order to pay-off certain campaign financiers and damage their competitors. Tell the U.S. Congress to demand that the U.S. Department of Energy stop breaking the law and comply with the FOIA requests to stop hiding the incriminating evidence in the Tesla files. Demand that the public be shown the original paper and not the later, “doctored” versions.

We saw Elon Musk operate an entirely illegal and unethical program based on State and Federal corruption. We told this, in writing and in person to the U.S. Attorney General: Eric Holder, who then quit his job after we reported these facts to him.

We reported that Elon Musk lied about vast number of dangers of the lithium ion chemistry he was using. Nothing was done.

We reported that our associates at the Department of Energy were having their safety reports on lithium ion danger suppressed. Nothing was done.

We reported that Elon Musk’s credit rating and financial records were fraudulent and amounted to “cooking the books”. Nothing was done.

We reported bribes paid by Musk’s lobbyists and associated to government officials in order to grease the skids for his crony payola. Nothing was done.

We reported that Goldman Sachs and Tesla Motors were operating a stock fraud pump-and-dump scam to manipulate Elon Musk’s stock holdings. Nothing was done.

We reported over a hundred illegal and corrupt actions by Elon Musk and his mob of Silicon Valley gangsters. Nothing was done.

TESLA MOTORS: CREATED BY CORRUPTION, BRIBES AND LIES!

– DEMAND THAT A FEDERAL SPECIAL PROSECUTOR REVIEW ALL OF THESE CHARGES IN A PUBLIC HEARING!

** If you have an ounce of morality, then you will not want to help Musk & Tesla profit from the crony political corruption that created them. Musk exists because he bribes politicians & acts as an illegal campaign financing conduit.

** DOT/NHTSA has covered up years of reports about an acceleration surge issue that can suddenly crash your Tesla into walls and drive it off cliffs. It is either a known hacking attack or the effect of WiFi on Tesla electronics. Either can kill you.

** Musk & Tesla are pure evil & exist because of hyper-corruption. You don’t want to contribute to their evil or be part of it in any way. You are funding evil & supporting criminal corruption by buying a Tesla or any Elon Musk owned product like Solar City, Tesla, Space X, Hyperloop, etc.!

** Elon Musk spent more money, than any other car company in history, to do the exact same things that any other car has done, or could do, for 20 times less money. Musk’s Tesla was $100,000.00 over budget, per car, at the time that Musk was handed his crony Dept. of Energy froms by Steven Chu. Musk has no clue how to operate a car company.

** In one lawsuit it is noted that: “…Plaintiff and Tesla both applied for funds at the same time, in the same funding cycle in the same program. Tesla had the historically epic number of horrific issues listed below, which were known to DOE at the time of application, and Plaintiffs had NONE of these issues. How can any court, or rational person, believe that Plaintiffs were not intentionally bypassed, targeted and damaged for political reasons while Tesla was simultaneously approved for political reasons, when the comparative metrics between the two applicants prove the largest merit disparity in the entire recorded history of the U.S. Department of Energy….the singular, and only, review criteria used by Department of Energy officials was: WHICH ONE BRIBED THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE GROUP FOR BARACK OBAMA?!”; Thus proving that Tesla exists because of organized-crime level political corruption.

** Elon Musk’s self-driving “autopilot” feature, which keeps crashing and failing, is his attempt to scam taxpayer cash from Dept. of Transportation and Dept. of Energy public funds. He is only trying to do it to get more free federal cash.

** The inventor of lithium ion batteries has confessed that lithium ion batteries blow up eventually. He says that deadly dendrites plague lithium-ion battery technology. The dendrites accumulate as part of the standard charging and recharging cycle and eventually cause a short circuit that often results in a smoldering or burning battery. These dendrites are destined to eventually blow up most Tesla cars and many electronic devices using lithium ion!

** The CIA’s software designed to take over any Tesla on Earth and kill the driver, passengers and bystanders has been released in the wild and every hacker on Earth can now easily get a copy of it and kill you in your Tesla!

** Ex-employees have leaked faked financial records, evidence of massive click-farm fake social media manipulation and evidence of unreported deaths and accidents. They say that most Tesla’s have one kind of defect or another.

** If you read about the dirty deeds and cocaine dealings with the In-Q-Tel airplanes called “Cocaine 1” & “Cocaine 2”, & the corruption behind the company called In-Q-Tel & Musk’s software programmer who ran “The Silk Road” drug & murder service then you must be concerned that many In-Q-Tel people work for Musk. Why does Musk need dirty druggies & spies on his payroll unless he is running covert drug and business spying activities?

** Ex-employees, Gawker writers and gay lawyers from Covington & Burling have leaked stories that Elon Musk, Reid Hoffman, Larry Page are “butt buddies”.

** Musk is anti-American and Anti-Worker Rights and has been caught flying in H1-B cheap offshore labor and exploiting immigrants for his deadly profits. Musk hates unions and worker rights efforts.

** Elon Musk gets the Cobalt chemical to make his lithium ion batteries from slave trade and blood-money corruption in the Congo!

** The lithium ion batteries that Musk uses also blow up when they naturally encounter Low Energy Nuclear (LENR) effects in the ambient environment. Millions of chemicals don’t blow up from LENR’d but lithium ion does!

** If you are a Democrat then know that Elon Musk cost you the Hillary Clinton campaign because of his payola schemes. If you are a Republican, know that Elon Musk is the epitome of the worst form of DNC crony corruption you ever saw!

** Musk bribed California politicians to give him hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars & resources he never earned or worked for. He only got those crony payola perks handed to him because he operated as an illicit front for corrupt campaign financing for Dianne Feinstein, Jerry Brown, Harry Reid, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

** Multiple parties have filed “Demands For The Arrest of Elon Musk” with the FBI, DOJ, AG, FTC, SEC and other law enforcement agencies. It is not likely that Musk, or his companies will survive a full investigation.

** Tesla and Solyndra sit on the same land in Fremont, CA. Solyndra was raided by the FBI for corruption. Tesla SHOULD be raided by the FBI for corruption. Both companies had kick-back crony payola schemes with Senator Dianne Feinstein. She owned the land, lease, HR, construction company and supplier interests and stock for both companies in one of the most massive conflict-of-interest crony financing schemes in U.S. history. Elon Musk and the Feinsteins are corruption partners.

** People who see you in a Tesla think of you as a “Tone Deaf Douchebag”, “Tesla Tool!”, “Arrogant Prick”, “Ostentatious Obama Oaf”, “Sheep”, “Mindless Yuppie Scum”, “Misogynistic Silicon Valley Clone”, “Self-promoting Elitist Douche”, “Fake News Reading Main Stream Boob”, “Naive Idiot” or other bad things.

** Elon Musk is one of the main financiers behind Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton, both of whom have been charged with corruption. Musk endlessly tweets lies & “…No I didn’t do those bad things” BS but nobody else supports him.

** Tesla financial records are “cooked” in a fraudulent manner to make the stock market valuation of Tesla a falsely manipulated factor. Musk uses “pre-orders”, by his own investors, to fake sales and wrote emails to customers asking them to put small deposits down so he could book them as fully paid sales in one of a large number of stock and loan valuation frauds. Musk and his investors practice stock market skims, pump-and-dumps and Flash Boy manipulations.

** Lithium ion batteries are blowing up, starting fires &, generally, destroying people’s homes, cars, electronics & physical health. Boeing was ordered to stop flying the 787 Dreamliner because it’s Lithium ion batteries are catching fire spontaneously. A group of silicon valley venture capitalists forced/leveraged the government to buy & pay for these specific batteries, that they have stock in, in order to benefit their profit margins. Other batteries don’t have these problems. They knew about the dangers from day one, but put greed ahead of safety. There are thousands & thousands of reports of spontaneous lithium ion fires but the VC’s who back lithium ion pay to keep this information hushed up. Millions of these batteries have been recalled for fire risk. The VC’s tried to push as many as they could before they got caught. Now they are caught. These VC’s & the Senators they bribed own stock in lithium mining companies too. HERE IS THE PROOF: HTTP://LITHIUMBATTERYCOVERUP.COM

** Tesla Motors has filed a patent which states the following , THESE ARE TESLA MOTORS WORDS warning about a crisis, the level of which they never disclosed to the consumer: “Thermal runaway is of major concern since a single incident can lead to significant property damage &, in some circumstances, bodily harm or loss of life. When a battery undergoes thermal runaway, it typically emits a large quantity of smoke, jets of flaming liquid electrolyte, & sufficient heat to lead to the combustion & destruction of materials in close proximity to the cell. If the cell undergoing thermal runaway is surrounded by one or more additional cells as is typical in a battery pack, then a single thermal runaway event can quickly lead to the thermal runaway of multiple cells which, in turn, can lead to much more extensive collateral damage. Regardless of whether a single cell or multiple cells are undergoing this phenomenon, if the initial fire is not extinguished immediately, subsequent fires may be caused that dramatically expand the degree of property damage. For example, the thermal runaway of a battery within an unattended laptop will likely result in not only the destruction of the laptop, but also at least partial destruction of its surroundings, e.g., home, office, car, laboratory, etc. If the laptop is on-board an aircraft, for example within the cargo hold or a luggage compartment, the ensuing smoke & fire may lead to an emergency landing or, under more dire conditions, a crash landing. Similarly, the thermal runaway of one or more batteries within the battery pack of a hybrid or electric vehicle may destroy not only the car, but may lead to a car wreck if the car is being driven or the destruction of its surroundings if the car is parked”. See http://whoiselonmusk.com for more…

** Tesla’s own staff, & every fire department, have now admitted that once a lithium ion fire gets started in a Tesla, that it is impossible to extinguish burning lithium ion material. This is Telsa’s own words in THEIR patent filing, (You can look it up online) saying that the risk is monumental. Tesla has 6800 lithium ion batteries, any one of which can “go thermal”, start a chain reaction and blow up all of the rest of the 6800+ deadly batteries! Tesla drivers have been burned alive in thermal globs of flaming lithium ion, plastics & metal. Bystanders have heard their horrific screams of unutterable pain & terror as they were burned alive! Tesla fires can’t be extinguished & the bodies are burned into “unrecognizable lumps of charred flesh”, according to fireman.

** Lithium Ion batteries “go thermal” in peoples pockets, in your notebook, especially in a Tesla & Fisker car. There are tens of thousands of articles documenting this & there is a cover-up by the VC’s that fund these things to keep this fact out-of-sight. Making Lithium Ion batteries poisons the workers who make them. It is a dangerous product that is covered-up by the Obama Administration. Panasonic knows that these batteries are deadly.

** Tesla only exists to exploit Elon Musk’s briberies. The lithium ion batteries blow up when they get: wet, hot, bumped, over-charged, struck by energy fields, exposed to air or squashed. Lithium ion batteries poison the Earth & that they poison & kill the workers that make them. Lithium ion batteries come from war profiteering in Afghan & Bolivian corruption.

** Panasonic is Elon Musk’s partner. Panasonic is one of the most corrupt companies in the world. Panasonic has been charged, on multiple continents with: Product dumping, bribery, collusion, price fixing, anti-trust law violations, racketeering, worker abuse, toxic poisoning of workers, & other crimes. It is no wonder that Elon Musk & Panasonic are partners. Tata Motors executive Karl Slym was killed for exposing this fact.

** Your tax dollars were stolen in order to make Tesla Motors, as part of a political financing kick-back scam. In other words, part of your paycheck was taken away from you in order to buy hookers, rent-boys & private jets for Musk & company.

** Tesla’s are forged in criminal corruption, so anybody who drives a Tesla must be either ignorant, a weasel or one of the corrupt. The whole world now knows all of the facts in this list so you can never plead ignorance to these crimes.

** Telsa’s have a huge amount of highly documented defects. The defects are so extensive that Tesla made buyers sign confidentiality agreements to try to hide how messed up their cars are.

** Tesla’s have killed more people than the main-stream news has reported. The full Tesla death-list is covered up.

** Musk lied about why he wanted to make electric cars, when, in fact, he actually poisons the environment because Tesla investors wanted to exploit toxic minerals & materials which can’t be recycled in a clean manner

** No other electric car has been so mundane, & yet had so many problems with it, since the electric car was first sold in the 1800’s. There is nothing “novel” or “amazing” about the Tesla aside from dime store parlor tricks for PR hype.

** More drunks have crashed Tesla’s, than any other per capita car in the world, per volume of cars made

** Elon Musk’s co-founders, investors, partners, wives, investors, suppliers & employees have sued him for being a fraud &, essentially, called him an “asshole” in court records.

** Elon Musk lied on this Department of Energy funding application and the Obama Administration refuses to allow any federal employees or witnesses to testify to these facts in public due to the devastating potential results of these facts.

** More owners of Tesla’s have been found to cheat on their taxes, & be involved in abuse-based divorces, than almost any other car brand owner. Tesla owners are bad people who rationalize their poor life choices. Owning a Tesla is a red-flag for a tax audit!

** Elon Musk will lie, cheat & steal in order to self-aggrandize & glorify his egotistical mania. Musk has been documented engaging in over 100 lies which were later proven to be false. He has spent tens of millions of dollars to buy fake news about himself on Twitter, Facebook & Google because he is such a mentally disturbed ego-maniac.

** None of Elon Musk’s companies would exist if not for taxpayer funded handouts given to him by corrupt politicians in exchange for illegal campaign finance deals with him & his investors.

** Google, & Tesla, who are financial & political partners, have both been caught spying on consumers & manipulating Internet data in order to cover-up their complicity in huge political corruption & kick-back deals

** Musk took U.S. taxpayer dollars from the government & then hired cheap off-shore labor & fired U.S. Union workers & domestic workers. He lied to & screwed the NUMMI workers that were working at the Fremont plant.

** Musk has put over 18 surveillance devices in the Tesla. Anybody can hack those devices & monitor you. WORSE YET, foreign agents have hacked the Tesla & taken over the controls & driven Tesla’s into bystanders & over cliffs.

** When Erick Strickland was head of the NHTSA he was confronted about DOT safety cover-ups of the Tesla to protect Obama. He quit 48 hours later. The DOT safety cover-ups to protect the Obama campaign finance payola scheme continue to this day. Obama’s Gibbs, Emanual, Plouffe, Axelrod and Carney quit within a week of being threatened with exposure.

** Tesla’s have had a large number of recalls but Elon Musk refuses to call them “recalls”. Tesla’s have had multiple recalls for SEVERE safety dangers. DOT has been told this, in writing, for years, but wont take action in order to protect Obama.

** Elon Musk is a bullshit artist who has no original ideas & wears black-turtle neck shirts (like Elizabeth Homes) to try to create a “cult” around himself & convince the world that he is a “Jesus-like” figure when, in fact, he is a clinical sociopath.

** Tesla is a severe public safety hazard that has been systematically covered up by corrupt politicians.

** Large numbers of Ex-CIA staff and In-Q-Tel spy staff work for Musk. Why does he need spies to build cars?

** Tesla Motors batteries were promoted by those who wished to exploit the Afghanistan War for personal profit by controlling the Afghan lithium mining fields. Kleiner Perkins and Draper Fisher hyped the “…trillions of $ of lithium in Afganistan.”

** Tesla Motors batteries blow up on their own.

** Tesla Motors batteries blow up when they get wet.

** Tesla Motors batteries fires cannot be put out by any common fire-fighting resources.

** Tesla Motors batteries set themselves on fire.

** Per Federal MSDS disclosure documents, Tesla Motors batteries emit cancer-causing vapors when they burn.

** Tesla Motors Vehicles toxicity poison bystanders, nearby vehicular passengers, airline passengers in planes carrying said batteries in their holds, & environments where such incidents occur.

** Tesla Motors batteries blow up when bumped by the same level of car incident that would, otherwise, only dent a normal car bumper.

** In an accident, when a Tesla rolls over, molten metal & plastic can drip on & burn the occupants alive.

** Tesla has multiple sexual harassment and unsafe work-place lawsuits against the company.

** Per MSDS documents, Tesla Motors batteries emit brain damaging chemicals when they burn.

** Tesla is a stock pumping scam to profiteering on stock market peak manipulation at the expense of taxpayers.

** Per MSDS documents, Tesla Motors batteries emit chemicals, burning, or not, that can damage an unborn fetus.

** Per MSDS documents, Tesla Motors batteries emit chemicals that can cause lung damage.

** Per MSDS documents, Tesla Motors batteries emit chemicals that can cause liver damage.

** Per published lawsuits & news reports, the factories that make Tesla Motors batteries have been charged with the deaths, & potentially fatal illness, of over 1000 workers & the poisoning of nearby towns.

** Tesla Motors batteries become even more dangerous over time, particularly when tasked by electric transportation systems like Hover-boards & Tesla’s. The chemistry in a lithium ion battery changes to become more unstable over time.

** Tesla Motors batteries were never designed to be used in automobiles. Tesla used non-automotive batteries in one of the most dangerous configurations possible.

** Tesla Motors occupants experience higher EMF radiation exposure than gasoline vehicle occupants.

** Elon Musk’s Space X vehicles & Tesla Motors vehicles have both had a higher-than-average number of explosions. This has caused outside experts to doubt Musk’s ability to place safety considerations over his need for hyped-up PR.

** Leaked Sandia National Labs & FAA research videos dramatically demonstrate the unstoppable, horrific, “re-percussive accelerating domino-effect” explosive fire effect of the Tesla Motors batteries.

** Tesla’s own “Superchargers” & home 3-prong chargers have set Tesla’s, homes & businesses on fire.

** Consumer rights groups contacted Erick Strickland, the head of the NHTSA, & charged him with a cover-up. He quit days later. The NHTSA then issued a safety investigation request to Tesla Motors, which would have more publicly exposed these dangers, but the safety investigation was never under-taken due to White House requests & lobbyist bribes, from Tesla, which got the investigation shut down.

** NEPA regulations for the Tesla NUMMI factory in California & the Nevada Tesla “Gigafactory” have been violated relative to environmental safety standards. See http://xyzcase.xyz for details.

** Tesla Motors vehicles are not “Factory Built” “like Ford” builds cars, as Tesla professes. They are hand built in small volumes & subjected to numerous defects. Blogs have documented hundreds of defects, as listed by Tesla owners. Tesla has lost at least one LEMON CAR LAWSUIT for defective manufacturing.

** Tesla’s “showrooms” are often “pop-up” retail storefronts that are in tight-proximity retail centers, putting it’s neighbors at risk of total loss from fire damage.

** Tesla Motors vehicles have been hacked & taken over. Their doors, steering, listening devices & navigation have been taken over by outside parties. Multiple Tesla have suddenly swerved off the road, over cliffs & into other vehicles, killing bystanders & Tesla drivers.

** Three Tesla top engineers & two competing senior executives, all of whom had whistle-blown on Tesla, who were in perfect health one day, suddenly died mysteriously the next day.
** Multiple employees, founders, investors, marital partners, suppliers & others have sued Tesla Motors, &/or it’s senior executives for fraud. Musk had nothing to do with creating Tesla. He ran a hostile take-over of Tesla from the founders.

** In addition to suing him, many of his former staff & partners have described Musk as an “Arrogant Prick”.

** Main-Stream Media (MSM) have agreed not to provide news coverage of the deadly defects of the Tesla because the MSM are owned by the same politicians who own Tesla Motors. It is now legal to sue The New York Times for hiding these deadly defects, though, particularly if your family member was injured or killed because they covered-up the danger for political reasons.

** If you think the above bullet-points are bad there are over a 1000 more. Find the book “Is Elon Musk A Fraud” online or visit https://stopelonfromfailingagain.com/ or thousands of other sites that expose the truth about Musk & Tesla!

The crash of a Tesla Model X through the home of South Korean singer and actor Ji Chang Son. The crash ended with the nose of the vehicle in Ji Chang Son’s living room after the Tesla malfunctioned. Hundreds of such Tesla crashes have occurred, resulting in the deaths and injuries of Tesla owners, passengers, bystanders, oncoming drivers and others.

Following accusations by a Korean celebrity that a Tesla car spontaneously drove through a wall, the carmaker has replied that the crash was “entirely due to the man’s horrible driving” in an ongoing effort, by Tesla, to steer the blame away from Tesla faulty engineeringActor and singer Son Ji-chang (identified as Ji Chang Son in court documents) claimed he was parking his Tesla Model X SUV when the vehicle suddenly lurched forward into his living room.

In a lawsuit filed last week in California, Son claimed that the crash was due to “sudden unintended acceleration” and sought class-action status with other Model X owners.

In a nod to the car’s ability to sense and avoid crashes, the lawsuit also hinted that the Model X should not be allowed take actions that the car “knows will result in the collision with a fixed object.”

But Tesla contends its Model X was only dutifully following Son’s instructions to plough through his house.

“The evidence, including data from the car, conclusively shows that the crash was the result of Mr. Son pressing the accelerator pedal all the way to 100 per cent,” said Tesla in a statement to Reuters.

Although most new cars are equipped with “black box” technology to record driver actions in the event of a crash, Tesla is unique for amassing vehicle data as detailed as whether a driver’s hands are on the steering wheel.

The data is collected to aid in research and design, but Tesla user agreements also reserve the carmaker’s right to use it to defend itself in court.

The term “sudden unintended acceleration” has a checkered recent history. Most famously, between 2009 and 2011 Toyota recalled more than eight million vehicles following widespread allegations that the vehicles were subject to unexpected ac celeration.

But a subsequent investigation by the U.S. Department of Transportation found that most of the reported cases of “sudden unintended acceleration” were simply drivers stepping on the gas instead of the brake — with only a handful of incidents being due to pedals getting stuck on floormats.

In June, another California-based Model X owner, Puzant Ozbag, similarly claimed that his Model X spontaneously accelerated through a parking lot and into a wall.In that case, too, Tesla reviewed vehicle records and reported that the actual culprit was Ozbag jamming his foot down on the accelerator. A special prosecutor is needed to investigate Tesla due to the huge number of cover-ups, by Tesla and the Obama Administration, to protect camapign financier Elon Musk. Jeff Sessions needs to hire a lawyer from outside the government appointed by Sessions as attorney general or, in the United States, by Congress to investigate a government official for misconduct while in office. A reasoning for such an appointment is that the governmental branch or agency may have political connections to those it might be asked to investigate. Inherently, this creates a conflict of interest and a solution is to have someone from outside the department lead the investigation. The term “special prosecutor” may have a variety of meanings from one country to the next, from one government branch to the next within the same country, and within different agencies within each government branch. Critics of the use of special prosecutors argue that these investigators act as a “fourth branch” to the government because they are not subject to limitations in spending, nor do they have deadlines to meet.

Attorneys carrying out special prosecutor functions in either federal or state courts of the United States are typically appointed ad hoc with representation limited to one case or a delineated series of cases that implicate compelling governmental interests, such as: Fraud (SEC, Complex, Cybercrime, Mortgages), Public Corruption, Money Laundering & Asset Forfeiture, Civil Rights, Racketeering Across State lines, Environmental Protection, National Security, Tax & Bankruptcy, Organized Crime, or International cases where the US is a party).[1] Special prosecutors in courts of the United States may either be appointed formally by one of the three branches of government in a criminal proceeding, or when dictated by federal law or regulation, or informally in civil proceedings, and also by one of the three branches of government, or by a non-governmental entity to prosecute alleged unlawful conduct by government agents. When appointed by the judicial branch to investigate and, if justified, seek indictments in a particular judicial branch case, the attorney is called special prosecutor.[2] When appointed/hired particularly by a governmental branch or agency to investigate alleged misconduct within that branch or agency, the attorney is called independent counsel.[3] When appointed/hired by the state or political subdivision to assist in a particular judicial branch case when the public interest so requires, the attorney is called special counsel.[3] When appointed/hired by an organization, corporation, person or other non-governmental entity to investigate and, if justified, seek indictments against one or more government officials for acts committed under color of law, the attorney may be called special counsel or special prosecutor, but not independent counsel.[3]

On January 3, 1983, the United States federal government substituted the term independent counsel for special prosecutor.[4] Archibald Cox was one of the most notable special prosecutors. However, special prosecutor Archibald Cox today would be called independent counsel Archibald Cox in the United States.

The term is sometimes used as a synonym for independent counsel, but under the former law authorizing the independent counsel, the appointment was made by a special panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The Ethics in Government Act expired in 1999, and was effectively replaced by Department of Justice regulation 28 CFR Part 600, under which Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald was appointed to look into the Plame affair. The Tesla Motors and Elon Musk Case requires a Special Prosecutor.

THE CORRUPTION, FRAUD AND BRIBERY CHARGES AGAINST ELON MUSK AND TESLA MOTORS

Update 2.7

The following, culled from a variety of news articles, lawsuits and investigative reports, demonstrates the profound number of illicit actions charged against Elon Musk and his Silicon Valley cartel insiders. While any given, unbiased, expose on Musk covers some of these issues, it is important to examine the width and breadth of Musk’s culture of corruption. Expert witnesses, former employees and investigators are able to fully detail and confirm, with extended evidence, the following charges, in court, or Congressional public hearings:
A.) ELON MUSK AND TESLA FACE CRIMINAL FRAUD CHARGES BY FEDS! MUSK FINALLY EXPOSED!

B.) SEC subpoenas TESLA over Musk tweets…

C. Whistleblower posts ‘flawed cars’ details…

D.) Elon Musk’s Incredible Smoke And Mirrors Dance. Elon Musk’s untraceable money laundering and political bribery scam has now been exposed. It is called an “Invisible Bridge”. It is the way that covert funds move through a secret conduit of close associates and family members. Elon Musk is at the head of the conduit and his mother, brother and associates Tim Draper, Steve Jurvetson, and George Soros round out the other tentacles. With operational links through Wells Fargo Bank, Silicon Valley Bank and Goldman Sachs, the scheme is perfected corruption. The “bridge” uses a combination of fake tax evasion charities and business assets, passes through Senator’s pockets and is never visible to the FBI, the FEC and the SEC unless they have very good agents assigned to the matter.

E.) NTSB, DOJ, SEC and FEC have been blocked from action by DNC lobbyists.

F.) The overt and arrogant Musk misdeeds have now become “obvious and RICO-violating…”
G.) He is protected by Senators Reid, Harris, Pelosi and Feinstein. They are beneficiaries of the scam. Musk’s self promoting, narcissistic, multi-billion dollar, self-aggrandizing PR hype. Elon Musk exists because he bribed DNC politicians including Obama, Clinton and Senators Feinstein, Reid, Boxer, Harris, Spier and Pelosi to give him free taxpayer cash and government resources from the Department of Energy and the California political tax pool. This is proven when you follow-the-money and the insider trading, stock ownership and crony payola kick-backs.
H.) He is protected by the Clinton and Obama organizations along with most of the DNC. He finances these politicians via this scheme.

I.) The U.S. Dept of Energy (DOE) has been covering-up organized crime activities at DOE in which DOE funds are being used as a slush-fund to pay off DNC campaign financiers and to pay for Fusion-GPS attacks on Silicon Valley business competitors.

J.) DNC campaign financiers and DOE staff share stock market holdings with each other under family trusts, shell corporations and layered Goldman Sachs accounts. The deal was: Obama funds Tesla, Musk conduits campaign funds to Obama, top Obama staff profit off of insider Musk stocks.

K.) Elon Musk is a criminal, a mobster, an asshole, a balding fake-hair wearing, plastic surgery-addicted, bi-sexual douchebag, woman-abusing, sex addicted, tax evader.

L.) Musk exploits poor people and child slaves in the Congo and Afghanistan to mine his lithium and Cobalt. Look up this phrase on the top search engines: “child labor electric car batteries”.

K.) Musk spends billions per year to hire Russian trolls, fake blogger fan-boys and buy fake news self-glory look-at-me articles about himself. Musk thinks he is the ‘Jesus’ of Silicon Valley and he will do anything to make the public think so. Musk is insecure because his father was abusive and his “trophy wife” Mother is overbearing so he developed sociopath-like mental issues.

M.) Musk has been professionally diagnosed as a ‘psychotic narcissist.

N.) Musk has publicly stated on an investor call that he uses drugs and alcohol to get through the night. We have the tapes.

O.) Musk relies on Google and the DNC Main Stream News (MSN) to hide bad news about him. Fake News manipulator Google is run by Larry Page. Larry is Musk’s investor and bromance buddy. They share an apartment.

P.) Musk uses shell companies and trust funds to self-deal, evade the law and hide his bribes and stock market insider trading. His brother ran Solar City and is now under federal investigation for securities fraud.

Q.) A huge number of Tesla drivers, per capita, have been killed; pedestrians and oncoming drivers have also been killed, and Musk covers it up.

R.) The DNC and the MSM refuse to allow any articles about Musk’s crimes to be printed because they benefit from Musk’s crimes.

S.) VC’s Tim Draper and Steve Jurvetson are so fanatical about not being embarrassed from a Tesla bankruptcy that they will pump the TSLA stock and threaten anybody who might disclose the Musk misdeeds.

T.) Peter Thiel, a Musk ‘boyfriend” also protects Musk. Musk, and his cronies, use Palantir, Google and related software to scan the entire internet every few minutes for any occurrence of the words: “Musk”, “Tesla” or “Tesla Fire”. They send trolls and fake bloggers (Many of them Russian) to put pro-Musk comments on the comments section of any blogs or articles discussing those topics and try to flood out the truth about Musk. In EVERY blog that you read that mentions ‘Musk’, at least 1/3 of the comments have been placed their by Musk’s paid shills.

U.) There are no “Tesla Fan Boys”. All of the fanatic Tesla comments on the internet are Musk’s, Thiel’s, Jurvetson’s and Draper’s fake fanboy trolls. Musk, himself, stays up late at night pretending to be a ‘Tesla Fan Boy’on blogs.

V.) Main Stream DNC-biased News organizations who refuse to cover the story reveal themselves as shills for Musk.

W.) The Silicon Valley Mafia promotes Musk as a “Tech God” leader but, in reality Musk is the same kind of “Leader” as Charles Manson, Jim Jones, David Koresh, Swami Rajneesh and Al Capone.

X.) His own people have sued him for fraud and lies once they realized that Musk-ism and Scientology had so much in common.

Y.) The ‘Silicon Valley Mafia; cartel of frat boy sociopath venture capitalists like Steve Jurvetson, Tim Draper, Eric Schmidt, et al; threaten those who do not support the cult of Tesla or their political candidates.

Z.) Musk holds the Silicon Valley record for getting sued for fraud by his investors, wives, former partners, employees, suppliers and co-founders.

A1.) Elon Musk has gone out of his way to hire hundreds of ex-CIA and In-Q-Tel staff and assign them to “dirty tricks teams” to attack his competitors and elected officials who Musk hates.

A2.) Musk and his culture are being sued for abuse to women and blacks and the Unions hate him for lying to them.

A3.) https://stopelonfromfailingagain.com reveals even more Musk lies.

A4.) Musk never founded his companies. He took Tesla away from the founder: Marty, in a hostile take-over!

A5.) Musk’s “Starlink” satellites are domestic spy and political manipulation tools – never get your internet from anything SpaceX has launched. SpaceX is entirely a domestic spy operation.

A6.) Musk’s “Mars” scheme is just a PR distraction.

A7.) The same kind of EMF radiation proven to cause cancer from cell phones exists in massive amounts in a Tesla.

A8.) Musk can’t fix a car or build a rocket and has almost no mechanical skills.

A9.) If you pull a report of every VIN# of every Tesla ever built and cross reference that with insurance, repair and lawsuit records you will find that the “per volume” fire, crash, death and defect rate is THE WORST of any car maker in history! Musk’s lobbyists have bribed DOT and NHTSA to stall safety inspections.

A10.) NO COMPLETE UNCOMPROMISING SAFETY REPORT ON TESLA CARS HAS EVER BEEN PUBLISHED but we have a copy of a hushed up report that would put Tesla out of business.

A11.) Musk’s ‘Autopilot’ system is a scam to get government cash BUT IT NEVER WORKS. The Tesla ‘Autopilot’ has crashed into police cars, pedestrians, swamps and driven owners over cliffs.

A12.) Musk is a lying con artist and partners with Goldman Sachs to rig the stock market. Sachs has a dedicated team of 18 men who rig stocks and valuation bumps for Musk.

A13.) The “Silk Road” Cocaine and Murder-For-Hire website was created at Musk’s SpaceX

A14.) Musk’s In-Q-Tel staff ran two transport planes filled with drugs; listed as “Cocaine 1” on FAA records.

A15.) Senators Dianne Feinstein, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris and their associates own the stock in Tesla Motors and/or it’s suppliers and mining companies. That is why they criminally help cover-up investigations of Tesla!

A16.) All of this was reported, in writing, to James Comey, Patricia Rich and David Johnson at the FBI.

A17.) Tesla and Solyndra sit on the same land and share staff, contracts and lobbying. California politicians own parts of both companies.

A18.) Musk took over Tesla Motors in a hostile take-over in order to exploit lithium, cobalt and other mining corruption deals for his business partners.

A19.) The ‘lithium’ in Musk’s horrifically miss-engineered lithium ion batteries cause wars in the Congo over mining corruption.

A20.) Afghanistan and Bolivian mobsters benefit from the corrupt mining deals involved with mining lithium and cobalt for Elon Musk’s batteries.

A21.) Elon Musk’s Lithium ion batteries are insider trading-owned by ex-CIA boss Woolsey and DOE Boss Chu and they engaged in extreme conflict-of-interest to help Musk.

A22.) Elon Musk’s Lithium ion batteries excrete chemicals that mutate fetuses when they burn.

A23.) Elon Musk’s Lithium ion batteries destroy your brain, lungs and nervous system when they burn.

A24.) Elon Musk’s Lithium ion batteries kill the factory workers who make them.

A25.) Elon Musk’s Lithium ion batteries cause Panasonic to be one of the most corrupt companies in the world.

A26.) Elon Musk’s Lithium ion batteries poison the Earth when disposed of.

A27.) Elon Musk’s Lithium ion batteries can’t be extinguished by firemen because water makes them explode even more and then explode again hours later.

A28.) Elon Musk’s Lithium ion batteries have chemical dendrites and deposition massing issues (revealed by X-Ray analysis) which makes them more and more likely to explode as they age.

A29.) Elon Musk’s Lithium ion batteries poison firemen when they burn.

A30.) Elon Musk’s Lithium ion batteries are based on criminally corrupt mining schemes like URANIUM ONE.

A31.) Elon Musk’s Lithium ion batteries have over 61 toxic chemicals in them.

A32.) Elon Musk’s Lithium ion batteries come from an industry that spends billions on internet shills and trolls that they hire to nay say all other forms of energy

A33.) Elon Musk’s Lithium ion batteries are insider-trading owned by corrupt U.S. Senators who are running a SAFETY COVER-UP about their dangers.

A34.) Apple products with lithium ion batteries have been exploding and setting people on fire.

A35.) Over time the chemical dendrites, or deposits, inside each battery grow worse and increase the chances of explosion as they age – LITHIUM ION BATTERIES BECOME MORE AND MORE LIKELY TO EXPLODE AS TIME GOES ON AND AS THEY AGE. This is not a theory. This is a scientific fact. That is why you hear about more and more lithium batteries catching fire and blowing up. Additionally, scientists also speculate that the increasing presence of low energy nuclear background energy and wifi energy in the environment is making lithium ion batteries explode more often lately. This is upheld by the increasing number of FAA reports about commercial airline cabins suddenly “filling up with toxic smoke” as some lithium ion battery explodes in someones overhead luggage. As commercial jets go higher they lose the protection of the atmosphere and are subjected to more gamma (and other) radiation from overhead. This makes the already unstable lithium ion batteries on board blow up.

A36.) Tesla owner’s had had more DUI’s, abuse filings in divorce proceedings and crashes than any other car maker PER VOLUME. This makes Tesla the #1 car for douche bags and scummy people.

A37.) Tesla’s own federal patent filing records confirm that Tesla batteries are as dangerous as this document reports.

A38.) “Bad Guys” have figured out how to make Elon Musk’s Lithium ion batteries explode remotely in devices by making the device electronics cause the batteries to overload.

A39.) The dangers of Elon Musk’s Lithium ion batteries batteries are hidden by CNN and Main Stream News (MSN) because pretty much only the DNC people profit from them and the DNC folks control CNN and the MSN.

A40.) George Soros owns part of Tesla Motors so that Soros can help conduit DNC cash.

A41.) The Obama Administration promised Silicon Valley oligarchs the market monopoly on lithium ion batteries and the sabotage of fuel cells in exchange for campaign financing and search engine rigging.

A42.) United States Senators that are supposed to protect us from these deadly products own the stock market assets of them so they protect them and stop the FDA, OSHA, DOT & NHTSA from outlawing them.

A43.) There have been thousands of defect reports filed on Tesla cars.

A44.) Tom Steyer is a notorious DNC financier. His partner, Margaret Sullivan ran, the federal USAID agency, USAID sent all of the DNC campaign financiers in Silicon Valley a federal ‘report’ from USAID that said there was “A TRILLION DOLLARS OF LITHIUM IN AFGHANISTAN” and promised to give those lithium mines, EXCLUSIVELY, to the Silicon Valley venture capitalists if they funded and web search manipulated the election for Obama to take over the White House. We have the documents proving this. In other words, a re-up of the Afghan War was caused by Elon Musk and it killed American soldiers so that Musk could buy more mansions and trophy wives.

A45.) If a Tesla battery gets wet it will explode and cause all of the other batteries to explode in a “cascade of explosions”.

A46.) Water makes Tesla batteries explode.

A47.) In an accident, when a Tesla rolls over, molten metal & plastic can drip on & burn the occupants alive and seal them in molten metal.

A48.) Alkaline, NiCAD and hundreds of other battery chemistries DO NOT have all of these problems but Lithium Ion batteries get a monopoly because of politician insider trading owner-ships.

A49.) Tesla Motors has caused far more deaths and injuries than the world generally knows about.

A50.) A recent fire on U.S. Highway 101 near Mountain View, CA, burned the driver alive and killed him.

A51.) In Florida two kids died in a Tesla, burned alive, screaming in agony.

A52.) A man died in agony in a Tesla crash in Malibu that set Malibu Canyon on fire.

A53.) A young woman, at the start of life, and her boyfriend were burned alive in their crashed Tesla.

A54.) There are many more deaths and crashes than you have seen in the Main Stream News (MSN) The deaths and the cover-ups are endless.

A55.) Senators Dianne Feinstein, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris and their associates own the stock in Tesla Motors and/or it’s suppliers and mining companies and they cover-up and halt investigations and laws designed to save the public.

A56.) Elon Musk’s Lithium ion battery partners spend over $1B a year to shill and troll hype about lithium ion batteries and cover-up the dangers.

A57.) Lithium ion EVs are more prone to battery fires.

A58.) Experts say that their lithium-ion batteries can fuel hotter fires that release toxic fumes and are more difficult to put out. Lithium ion fires keep reigniting which explains why it takes so long and requires copious amounts of water or foam (it is an electric fire, after all) to smother the flames.

A59.) Tesla employee Bernard Tse and his team warned Elon Musk about these dangers in 2008 and they got fired and/or warned to “say nothing” by Musk.

A60.) Three top Tesla engineers died in a plane crash next to Tesla offices in San Carlos after two of them agreed to become whistle-blowers. Another whistle-blower has suggested they were killed in a “Boston Brakes” hit-job.

A61.) The DNC bosses, Congress people and federal executives own the stock in lithium, Solar and EV markets and use kickbacks from those markets (Especially via convoluted campaign finance laundering via Elon Musk) to finance the DNC.

A62.) The DNC bosses and Musk use character assassination as their main political tool against any member of the public who speaks out against their felony stock market scams and PizzaGate-like scandals. The Harvey Weinstein reports by Ronan Farrow show that they have teams of hired goons that they pay to destroy people’s lives.

A63.) They use Black Cube, Mossad, In-Q-Tel, Stratfor, Gawker Media, Gizmodo Media, Media Matters, David Brock, Sid Blumenthal, NY Times, Google servers, Facebook servers, Podesta Group, Perkins Coie, Covington & Burling and a host of “media assassins”.

A65.) Musk buddies: Gawker and Gizmodo Media set-up the attack stories and, in paid partnership with Google, Google kicks their attack links around the globe, in front of 8 Billion people, forever. Google locks the attack articles of its enemies on the front top search results of Google search results forever, on purpose! Google and Musk are partners-in-crime.

A66.) Larry Page steals technology for Google and Musk meets with Larry Page to advise him on which technologies to steal and how to bypass FEC laws.

A67.) Musk has exceeded FEC campaign finance limits by billions of dollars via “in-kind” services.

A68.) Had the full scope of these facts been acted on during the Obama Administration, Barack Obama would have become the first modern sitting President to have been arrested in the White House. Barack Obama was fully aware of these schemes, crony payola deals and corruption crimes and discussed the implementation of these crimes, daily, with Rahm Emanuel, David Plouffe, Steven Rattner, Robert Gibbs, John Podesta, David Axelrod, Eric Holder and Jay Carney in the Oval Office.

A69.) THIS corruption involves TRILLIONS of dollars of corrupt mining deals, automotive and energy monopolies!

A70.) THIS is why the federal budget analysis reports are showing TRILLIONS of dollars of ‘untraceable’ losses from the United States Treasury from 2006 up to today!

A71.) THIS is why a large number of reporters, whistle-blowers and prosecutors suddenly, and mysteriously turned up dead!

A72.) The company that Elon Musk built to usher in the electric-car future might not have enough cash to make it through the calendar year.

A73.) Tesla again fell far short of its own production targets for the mass-market Model 3 sedan

A74.) Another person died in a crash involving its assisted-driving feature.

A75.) Musk entered into a public dispute with federal safety regulators.

A76.) Tesla’s once high-flying stock, buffeted by a downgrade from credit analysts, has dropped 24 percent from its peak in September.

A77.) No one has raised or spent money the way Elon Musk has; Nor has any other chief executive officer of a public company made a bankruptcy joke on Twitter at a time when so much seemed to be unraveling.

A78.) Tesla is going through money so fast that, without additional financing, there is now a genuine risk that the 15-year-old company could run out of cash in 2018. The company burns through more than $6,500 every minute, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Free cash flow—the amount of cash a company generates after accounting for capital expenditures—has been negative for five consecutive quarters. That will be a key figure to watch when Tesla reports earnings May 2. Read the full story here: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-tesla-burns-cash/

A79.) In years to come, we will all look back and wonder how so many people were taken in by this shyster, who makes Enron look honest.

A80.) One of Tesla’s greatest strengths is its ability to monetize the patience and goodwill of its customers and loyal fans. The company is sitting on a staggering $854 million in customer deposits as of the end of 2017.

A81.) Since Tesla sells its products direct to consumers, without relying on a dealer network, customer deposits are cash payments that essentially serve as interest-free loans—and these loans can stretch on for years. If Tesla were to go bankrupt, those deposit holders would likely be wiped out.

A82.) Tesla is holding customer deposits for two vehicles that aren’t even in production yet: an electric Tesla Semi ($20,000 deposit) and a next-generation Roadster (either $50,000 down or the $250,000 retail price paid up front to reserve a limited edition). Even customers interested in installing an array of solar roof panels or the company’s Powerwall home battery must hand over $1,000 to place an order.

A83.) Tesla doesn’t break out deposit numbers by car, but the vast majority comes from $1,000 reservations for the Model 3. When Musk first introduced the lower-priced sedan in March 2016, fans stood in long lines at Tesla stores. Two years later, the slower-than-expected pace of production means that most of the more than 400,000 reservation holders are still waiting. And new people appear to be joining the queue: As of April, the company reported “net Model 3 reservations remained stable.”

A84.) There’s an additional source of free money from loyal believers: An unknown number of customers have paid up for vehicle features—$3,000 for “Full Self Driving” capability, for example—that Tesla thus far hasn’t figured out or released to anyone.

A85.) Elon Musk cooked the books by emailing interested sales prospects and asked them to put a deposit down before each quarter ended so he could book their tiny deposits as fully transacted $60K+ “sales” before each quarter closed.

A86.) Elon Musk and SpaceX are being sued by multiple employees for “lying about safety standards, safety records” and deadly safety defects.

A87.) The Elon Musk Tesla Money Laundering Board Of Directors is as full of fraud and corruption as Musk. Birds of a feather stick together and the Jurvetson, Draper, Musk, et al; clan of corruption runs deep. The Board of Directors can’t operate their scam without the whole pack of thieves and liars in place. An outsider will break theirs swamp of tax evasion, Dark Money political bribes, off-shore cash, self-dealing, book-cooking, real estate fraud, expense padding and other nefarious deeds.

A88.) Dianne Feinstein’s family member: Herb Newman of Sausalito, California’s HR firm: Newman Search (415 332-8425) has a company as of 1972 with the sole purpose of setting up investment bank deals with the People’s Republic of China. Feinstein arranged for Newman to provide the staffing for Tesla and Solyndra. Dianne Fenstein has been under investigation for spy activities with China and her senior aide was arrested as a Chinese top spy. In 1973 Mr. Newman arrived in Canton at the invitation of the Chinese Council for the Promotion of International Trade. (CCPIT). He and his company MVTC were one of fifty businesses to be invited to the Canton Trade Fair held in Kwangchow China. In 1978 Mr. Newman founded China Investments and in partnership with California Trade Delegations both companies as members of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce began taking US Corporations to China. Mr. Newman along with one of his associates at the time Mr. Darryl Schoon helped organize Senator Dianne Feinstein’s first trip to China in conjunction with the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. Herb Newman, Mart Bailey and Feinstein’s Husband; Dick Blum are on intelligence agency watch-lists, and under electronic surveillance, for potentially corrupt deals with China, Tesla and Solyndra.

A89.) Dianne Feinstein’s husband owns CBRE which owns the real estate contracts for both Tesla and Solyndra.

A90.) Dianne Feinstein’s family owns interests in the construction companies hired by both Tesla and Solyndra.

A91.) Dianne Feinstein had her staff warn other California businesses away from using the NUMMI car factory in order to protect the real estate deal for both Tesla ans CBRE, which is owned by her husband.

A92.) Tesla began real estate deals in multiple states and then cancelled them at the last minute, which got them sued for fraud and charged with “lying” to different communities. They started, and then pulled out of these different building (San Jose, Southern California, New Mexico, Etc.) deals, because CBRE and Feinstein were trying to leverage real estate profit exploitation using taxpayer funding.

A93.) Panasonic and Tesla have known for decades that the Panasonic 18650 batteries used in the Tesla suffer from multiple chemistry degradation defects which will almost always make them eventually explode or “go thermal”. The defects include: 1.) LENR activation, 2.) Dendrite lengthening, 3.) Particle congealing, 4.) Chemistry evolution and other defects. The Tesla projects is, essentially, a failed product product dumping effort of a failed and dangerous battery product.

A94.) Elon Musk has demanded that his employees sign “loyalty pledges”, “vows” and engage in Omerta’s in order to keep the corruption details of Tesla from being exposed to the public.

A95.) Tesla insider Antonio Gracias is the mob boss insider at Tesla who arranges media hit-jobs on those who displease Musk.

A96.) The NHTSB has issued requests to Tesla for safety tests and data that Tesla never complied with. Instead, Tesla paid bribes, which were referred to as “fees” to avoid having to complete those tests. An independent group of outside investigators issued a damning safety report to the NHTSB demanding that Tesla be compelled to produce the safety tests in 2010 but Obama appointed NHTSB executives buried the report and protected Tesla in order to keep the connection between Obama’s funding and Tesla protected. NHTSB boss: Strickland, an Obama insider, was confronted with this in Washington, DC and resigned from his job 48 hours later. NHTSB has still not acted on the severe Tesla safety defects that have been reported since 2009.

A97.) An SEC investigation of Musk uncovered horrific evidence of Musk corruption but the SEC could not report or act on it because Obama congressional bosses and lobbyists got the SEC investigation “limited” to only examine a single Twitter “Tweet” from Musk.

A98.) Elon Musk is protected by top DOJ, SEC, CFTC, FEC and other Obama left-over staff as well as 45 U.S. Senators and top Federal Reserve members and Goldman Sachs, who live in terror that exposure of the entire Elon Musk financial food-chain will topple the entire DNC Dark Money payola scam. This is the reason that Tesla can get away with so much obvious and overt corruption and still continue operations. Tesla Motors book-cooking, financial frauds and political payola conduits, if fully revealed, would change the course of political influence in America.

A99.) Elon Musk has been sued by a man that Musk called a “Pedo”, yet Musk’s own father has been accused of child sex abuse, racism and, indeed, got his own daughter pregnant!

A100.) Elon Musk’s mother has been accused of being a “self-indulgent trophy wife” who Musk was trained by to be an arrogant elitist. Her hatred of black people was imbued on Musk who has been sued by black people at his company for “running a racist culture”.

A101.) Elon Musk divorced the same woman twice because she knew his dirty little secret and threatened to out him if he did not keep the deal going. She was hired to “act” as his wife.

A102.) Musical artist Iggy Azalea was at a Musk Party, with other friends, who captured Elon Musk on video on drugs and in weird sex acts. Musk had Iggy’s camera stolen at the party to hie the evidence but he did not get the other cameras and did not realize that some of those cameras placed their images and videos directly on the Cloud, where hackers acquired them.

A103.) With cover-up help from Eric Holder, Steven Chu, Obama, Valarie Jarret, DNC FBI agents, Perkins Coie, Covington and Burling, Wilson Sonsini, etc; sociopath Musk actually believes he is “untouchable” and that he can get away with anything. His downfall will be the same downfall of every narcissist sociopath oligarch throughout all of recorded history.

A104.) Elon Musk is a drug addict. A simple urine and blood test proves it. Musk’s downfall and the downfall of John DeLorean are seeming to align.

Who is violating the law protecting Tesla by withholding investigations and prosecutions?

Why are they allowing American citizens to continue to die from the 1.) “sudden acceleration electronics defect”; 2.) “The failed Auto-pilot electronics defect”3.) “The deteriorating and deadly lithium ion batteries” and 4.) numerous other defects widely documented in the news media and filed lawsuits?

Why Elon Musk is a really bad guy and why his business operation is a corruption scam

By Former Tesla Staff

You may have run across Musk’s self promoting, narcissistic, multi-billion dollar, self-aggrandizing PR hype but here is the other side of the coin. We know these facts from personal interaction with Musk, his companies and his politicians. Everything in this letter can be proven in a jury trial, Congressional hearings or live TV debates. Musk will do anything to keep this information from getting out but… it is too late for him! While this may sound like a bad Hollywood movie script. It all really happened and there is now massive hard copy evidence to prove it.

Elon Musk exists because he bribed DNC politicians including Obama, Clinton and Senators Feinstein, Reid, Boxer, Harris, Spier and Pelosi to give him free taxpayer cash and government resources from the Department of Energy and the California political tax pool. This is proven when you follow-the-money and the insider trading, stock ownership and crony payola kick-backs.

The Energy Dept (DOE) has been covering-up organized crime activities at DOE in which DOE funds are being used as a slush-fund to pay off DNC campaign financiers and to pay for CIA/GPS Fusion-Class attacks on Silicon Valley business competitors. DNC campaign financiers and DOE staff share stock market holdings with each other under family trusts, shell corporations and layered Goldman Sachs accounts. The deal was: Obama funds Tesla, Musk conduits campaign funds to Obama, top Obama staff profit off of insider Musk stocks.

Elon Musk is a criminal, a mobster, an asshole, a balding fake-hair wearing, plastic surgery-addicted, bi-sexual douchebag, woman-abusing, sex addicted, tax evader. We can put this in writing because all of those identifications regarding Musk can be proven in court and are documented in existing lawsuits and news stories.

Musk exploits poor people and child slaves in the Congo and Afghanistan to mine his lithium and Cobalt. Look up this phrase on the top search engines: “child labor electric car batteries”.

Musk spends billions per year to hire Russian trolls, fake blogger fan-boys and buy fake news self-glory look-at-me articles about himself. Musk thinks he is the ‘Jesus’ of Silicon Valley and he will do anything to make the public think so. Musk is insecure because his father was abusive and his “trophy wife” Mother is overbearing so he developed sociopath-like mental issues. Musk has been professionally diagnosed as a ‘psychotic narcissist. He publicly stated on an investor call that he uses drugs and alcohol to get through the night. We have the tapes.

Musk relies on Google and the DNC Main Stream News (MSN) to hide bad news about him. Fake News manipulator Google is run by Larry Page. Larry is Musk’s investor and bromance ‘Butt buddy’. They share an apartment. Musk uses massive numbers of shell companies and trust funds to self-deal, evade the law and hide his bribes and stock market insider trading. His brother ran Solar City and is now under federal investigation for securities fraud.

A huge number of Tesla drivers have been killed; pedestrians and oncoming drivers have also been killed, and Musk covers it up.

The DNC and the MSM refuse to allow any articles about Musk’s crimes to be printed because they benefit from Musk’s crimes. VC’s Tim Draper and Steve Jurvetson are so fanatical about not being embarrassed from a Tesla bankruptcy that they will pump the TSLA stock and threaten anybody who might disclose the Musk misdeeds. Peter Thiel, a Musk ‘boyfriend” also protects Musk. Musk, and his cronies, use Palantir, Google and related software to scan the entire internet every few minutes for any occurrence of the words: “Musk”, “Tesla” or “Tesla Fire”. They send trolls and fake bloggers (Many of them Russian) to put pro-Musk comments on the comments section of any blogs or articles discussing those topics and try to flood out the truth about Musk. In EVERY blog that you read that mentions ‘Musk’, at least 1/3 of the comments have been placed their by Musk’s paid shills. There are no “Tesla Fan Boys”. All of the fanatic Tesla comments on the internet are Musk’s, Thiel’s, Jurvetson’s and Draper’s fake fanboy trolls. Musk, himself, stays up late at night pretending to be a ‘Tesla Fan Boy’on blogs. Main Stream News organizations who refuse to cover the story reveal themselves as shills and are then targeted for bankruptcy (ie: Time, Gawker, etc.) because they serve no public service.

The Silicon Valley Mafia promotes Musk as a “Tech God” leader but, in reality Musk is the same kind of “Leader” as Charles Manson, Jim Jones, David Koresh, Swami Rajneesh and Al Capone. His own people have sued him for fraud and lies once they realized that Musk-ism and Scientology had so much in common.

The ‘Silicon Valley Mafia; cartel of frat boy sociopath venture capitalists like Steve Jurvetson, Tim Draper, Eric Schmidt, et al; threaten those who do not support the cult of Tesla or their political candidates.

Musk holds the record for getting sued for fraud by his investors, wives, former partners, employees, suppliers and co-founders. Elon Musk has gone out of his way to hire hundreds of ex-CIA and In-Q-Tel staff and assign them to “dirty tricks teams” to attack his competitors and elected officials who Musk hates.

Musk and his culture are being sued for abuse to women and blacks and the Unions hate him for lying to them. https://stopelonfromfailingagain.com reveals even more Musk lies.

Musk never founded his companies. He took Tesla away from the founder: Marty, in a hostile take-over!

Musk’s “Starlink” satellites are domestic spy and political manipulation tools – never get your internet from anything SpaceX has launched. SpaceX is entirely a domestic spy operation. Musk’s “Mars” scheme is just a PR distraction.

The same kind of EMF radiation proven to cause cancer from cell phones exists in massive amounts in a Tesla.

Musk can’t fix a car or build a rocket and has almost no mechanical skills.

If you pull a report of every VIN# of every Tesla ever built and cross reference that with insurance, repair and lawsuit records you will find that the “per volume” fire, crash, death and defect rate is THE WORST of any car maker in history! Musk’s lobbyists have bribed DOT and NHTSA to stall safety inspections. NO COMPLETE UNCOMPROMISING SAFETY REPORT ON TESLA CARS HAS EVER BEEN PUBLISHED but we have a copy of a hushed up report that would put Tesla out of business. Musk’s ‘Autopilot’ system is a scam to get government cash BUT IT NEVER WORKS. The Tesla ‘Autopilot’ has crashed into police cars, pedestrians, swamps and driven owners over cliffs.

Musk is a lying con artist and partners with Goldman Sachs to rig the stock market. Sachs has a dedicated team of 18 men who rig stocks and valuation bumps for Musk.The “Silk Road” Cocaine and Murder-For-Hire website was created at Musk’s SpaceX and Musk’s In-Q-Tel staff ran two transport planes filled with drugs; listed as “Cocaine 1” on FAA records.

Over 1000 witnesses can prove every one of those claims in any live televised Congressional hearing! Senators Dianne Feinstein, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris and their associates own the stock in Tesla Motors and/or it’s suppliers and mining companies. That is why they criminally help cover-up investigations of Tesla! All of this was reported, in writing, to James Comey, Patricia Rich and David Johnson at the FBI. Tesla and Solyndra sit on the same land and share staff, contracts and lobbying. California politicians own parts of both.

Why aren’t all of those parties in prison if it is so easy to prove the crime? Think back to recent history: the heads of the Department of Energy, the FBI, The DOJ and the U.S. Attorney General were kicked out of their jobs for corruption. THIS was the corruption they were doing. They all knew about this crime but they were covering it up.

Musk took over Tesla Motors in a hostile take-over in order to exploit lithium, cobalt and other mining corruption deals for his business partners. Let’s take a look at the ‘lithium’ in Musk’s horrifically miss-engineered lithium ion batteries:

His batteries cause wars in the Congo, Afghanistan and Bolivia from the corrupt mining deals involved with mining lithium and cobalt. Lithium ion batteries are insider trading-owned by ex-CIA boss Woolsey and DOE Boss Chu. Lithium ion batteries excrete chemicals that mutate fetuses when they burn; destroy your brain, lungs and nervous system when they burn; kill the factory workers who make them; cause Panasonic to be one of the most corrupt companies in the world; poison the Earth when disposed of; can’t be extinguished by firemen; poison firemen when they burn; are based on criminally corrupt mining schemes like URANIUM ONE; Have over 61 toxic chemicals in them; come from an industry that spends billions on internet shills and trolls used to nay say all other forms of energy; and are insider-trading owned by corrupt U.S. Senators who are running a SAFETY COVER-UP about their dangers.

Apple products with lithium ion batteries have been exploding and setting people on fire. Over time the chemical dendrites, or deposits, inside each battery grow worse and increase the chances of explosion as they age – LITHIUM ION BATTERIES BECOME MORE AND MORE LIKELY TO EXPLODE AS TIME GOES ON AND AS THEY AGE. This is not a theory. This is a scientific fact. That is why you hear about more and more lithium batteries catching fire and blowing up. Additionally, scientists also speculate that the increasing presence of low energy nuclear background energy and wifi energy in the environment is making lithium ion batteries explode more often lately. This theory is upheld by the increasing number of FAA reports about commercial airline cabins suddenly “filling up with toxic smoke” as some lithium ion battery explodes in someones overhead luggage. As commercial jets go higher they lose the protection of the atmosphere and are subjected to more gamma (and other) radiation from overhead. This makes the already unstable lithium ion batteries on board blow up.

Tesla owner’s had had more DUI’s, abuse filings in divorce proceedings and crashes than any other car maker PER VOLUME. This makes Tesla the #1 car for douche bags and scummy people.

Tesla’s own federal patent filing records confirm that Tesla batteries are as dangerous as this document reports.

“Bad Guys” have figured out how to make them explode remotely in devices by making the device electronics cause the batteries to overload. The dangers of lithium ion batteries are hidden by CNN and Main Stream News (MSN) because pretty much only the DNC people profit from them and the DNC folks control CNN and the MSN. George Soros owns part of Tesla Motors so that Soros can help conduit DNC cash.

The Obama Administration promised Silicon Valley oligarchs the market monopoly on lithium ion batteries and the sabotage of fuel cells in exchange for campaign financing and search engine rigging; United States Senators that are supposed to protect us from these deadly products own the stock market assets of them so they protect them and stop the FDA, OSHA, DOT & NHTSA from outlawing them. There have been thousands of defect reports filed on Tesla cars.

Tom Steyer is a notorious DNC financier. His partner, Margaret Sullivan ran, the federal USAID agency, USAID sent all of the DNC campaign financiers in Silicon Valley a federal ‘report’ from USAID that said there was “A TRILLION DOLLARS OF LITHIUM IN AFGHANISTAN” and promised to give those lithium mines, EXCLUSIVELY, to the Silicon Valley venture capitalists if they funded and web search manipulated the election for Obama to take over the White House. We have the documents proving this. In other words, a re-up of the Afghan War was caused by Elon Musk and it killed American soldiers so that Musk could buy more mansions and trophy wives.

If a Tesla battery gets wet it will explode and cause all of the other batteries to explode in a “cascade of explosions”. Water makes Tesla batteries explode. In an accident, when a Tesla rolls over, molten metal & plastic can drip on & burn the occupants alive and seal them in molten metal.

Alkaline, NiCAD and hundreds of other battery chemistries DO NOT have all of these problems but Lithium Ion batteries get a monopoly because of politician insider trading owner-ships.

Tesla Motors has caused far more deaths and injuries than the world generally knows about. A recent fire on U.S. Highway 101 near Mountain View, CA, burned the driver alive and killed him. In Florida two kids died in a Tesla, burned alive, screaming in agony. A man died in agony in a Tesla crash in Malibu that set Malibu Canyon on fire. A young woman, at the start of life, and her boyfriend were burned alive in their crashed Tesla. There are many more deaths and crashes than you have seen in the Main Stream News (MSN) The deaths and the cover-ups are endless.

They, and their crony’s, spend over $1B a year to shill and troll hype about lithium ion batteries and cover-up the dangers. Lithium ion EVs are more prone to battery fires.

Lithium ion fires keep reigniting which explains why it takes so long and requires copious amounts of water or foam (it is an electric fire, after all) to smother the flames.

Three top Tesla engineers died in a plane crash next to Tesla offices in San Carlos after two of them agreed to become whistle-blowers.

The DNC bosses, Congress people and federal executives own the stock in lithium, Solar and EV markets and use kickbacks from those markets (Especially via convoluted campaign finance laundering via Elon Musk) to finance the DNC.

The DNC bosses and Musk use character assassination as their main political tool against any member of the public who speaks out against their felony stock market scams and PizzaGate-like scandals. The Harvey Weinstein reports by Ronan Farrow show that they have teams of hired goons that they pay to destroy people’s lives.

They use Black Cube, Mossad, In-Q-Tel, Stratfor, Gawker Media, Gizmodo Media, Media Matters, David Brock, Sid Blumenthal, NY Times, Google servers, Facebook servers, Podesta Group, Perkins Coie, Covington & Burling and a host of “media assassins”.

Gawker and Gizmodo Media set-up the attack stories and, in paid partnership with Google, Google kicks their attack links around the globe, in front of 8 Billion people, forever. Google locks the attack articles of its enemies on the front top search results of Google search results forever, on purpose! Google and Musk are partners-in-crime.

Barack Obama was fully aware of these schemes, crony payola deals and corruption crimes and discussed the implementation of these crimes, daily, with Rahm Emanuel, David Plouffe, Steven Rattner, Robert Gibbs, John Podesta, David Axelrod, Eric Holder and Jay Carney in the Oval Office.

THIS corruption is what all of the big political scandals are about today!

THIS corruption involves TRILLIONS of dollars of corrupt mining deals, automotive and energy monopolies!

THIS is why the federal budget analysis reports are showing TRILLIONS of dollars of ‘untraceable’ losses from the United States Treasury from 2006 up to today!

THIS is why a large number of reporters, whistle-blowers and prosecutors suddenly, and mysteriously turned up dead!

THIS can all be proven in jury trial and in live televised Congressional hearings!

There is so much more to reveal but you get the picture.

This is all being covered up because top State and Federal officials are in on it, own the stock in it and are so deeply involved in it that they could go to Federal prison when this all comes out.

This is Part 1. There is more to be released. Show this document to the United States Senate and see what they say about all this…”

A complete guide to how Elon Musk has raised, and then spent, billions of dollars, mostly from your tax money and pension funds.

The company that Elon Musk built to usher in the electric-car future might not have enough cash to make it through the calendar year.

The anxieties that lurk beneath the tremendous ambition of Tesla Inc. moved into the forefront in recent weeks. The company again fell far short of its own production targets for the mass-market Model 3 sedan, another person died in a crash involving its assisted-driving feature and Musk entered into a public dispute with federal safety regulators. Tesla’s once high-flying stock, buffeted by a downgrade from credit analysts, has dropped 24 percent from its peak in September.

There’s a good reason to worry: No one has raised or spent money the way Elon Musk has. Nor has any other chief executive officer of a public company made a bankruptcy joke on Twitter at a time when so much seemed to be unraveling.

Tesla is going through money so fast that, without additional financing, there is now a genuine risk that the 15-year-old company could run out of cash in 2018. The company burns through more than $6,500 every minute, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Free cash flow—the amount of cash a company generates after accounting for capital expenditures—has been negative for five consecutive quarters. That will be a key figure to watch when Tesla reports earnings May 2.

In years to come, we will all look back and wonder how so many people were taken in by this shyster, who makes Enron look honest.

A lot of Musk’s money has been extracted from suckers, who think he is God’s gift, as Bloomberg report:

One of Tesla’s greatest strengths is its ability to monetize the patience and goodwill of its customers and loyal fans. The company is sitting on a staggering $854 million in customer deposits as of the end of 2017.

Since Tesla sells its products direct to consumers, without relying on a dealer network, customer deposits are cash payments that essentially serve as interest-free loans—and these loans can stretch on for years. If Tesla were to go bankrupt, those deposit holders would likely be wiped out.

Tesla is holding customer deposits for two vehicles that aren’t even in production yet: an electric Tesla Semi ($20,000 deposit) and a next-generation Roadster (either $50,000 down or the $250,000 retail price paid up front to reserve a limited edition). Even customers interested in installing an array of solar roof panels or the company’s Powerwall home battery must hand over $1,000 to place an order.

Tesla doesn’t break out deposit numbers by car, but the vast majority comes from $1,000 reservations for the Model 3. When Musk first introduced the lower-priced sedan in March 2016, fans stood in long lines at Tesla stores. Two years later, the slower-than-expected pace of production means that most of the more than 400,000 reservation holders are still waiting. And new people appear to be joining the queue: As of April, the company reported “net Model 3 reservations remained stable.”

There’s an additional source of free money from loyal believers: An unknown number of customers have paid up for vehicle features—$3,000 for “Full Self Driving” capability, for example—that Tesla thus far hasn’t figured out or released to anyone.

The consumer psychology that sees hundreds of thousands of people essentially extending an interest-free loan to a public company is unusual, to say the least. Consider the devotion of Bruce Sidlinger, a 60-year-old aerospace engineer who lives in Flagstaff, Arizona:

“The morning after the Roadster was announced, I put a deposit down. Putting down $50,000 for a Roadster that won’t be out for a few years is kind of like buying a bond that returns zero. Elon Musk is one of our planet’s great hopes. I would offer a kidney to him if he needed it.”

Keep in mind that Sidlinger already owns both a Model S and a Model X. He drove across the country to Florida earlier this year in a car made by one Musk company so he could watch a rocket made by another Musk company take flight for the first time.

I think the phrase “more money than sense” rather sums it up

Apple and Google also named in US lawsuit over Congolese child cobalt mining deaths for Elon Musk’s Tesla Cars

Dell, Microsoft and Tesla also among tech firms named in case brought by families of children killed or injured while mining in DRC

Another child, referred to as John Doe 1, says that he started working in the mines when he was nine. The lawsuit claims that earlier this year, he was working as a human mule for Kamoto Copper Company, carrying bags of cobalt rocks for $0.75 a day, when he fell into a tunnel. After he was dragged out of the tunnel by fellow workers, he says he was left alone on the ground at the mining site until his parents heard about the accident and arrived to help him. He is now paralysed from the chest down and will never walk again.

Other families included in the claim say that their children were killed in tunnel collapses or suffered serious injuries such as smashed limbs and broken spines while crawling through tunnels or carrying heavy loads. The families say that none were paid any compensation for the deaths and injuries.

One of the central allegations in the lawsuit is that Apple, Google, Dell, Microsoft and Tesla were aware and had “specific knowledge” that the cobalt they use in their products is linked to child labour performed in hazardous conditions, and were complicit in the forced labour of the children.

The families argue in the court papers that all companies named as defendants entered into commercial “ventures” with the mining companies operating in DRC, and all gained significant financial advantages from the widespread illegal mining of cobalt by children, which continues to enter global supply chains.

Photograph: Siddharth Kara The court papers claim that Apple, Dell, Microsoft, Google and Tesla all have the authority and resources to supervise and regulate their cobalt supply chains and that their inability to do so contributed to the deaths and injuries suffered by their clients. A spokesperson for Glencore said: “Glencore notes the allegations contained in a US lawsuit filed on 15th December 2019.

“Glencore supports and respects human rights in a manner consistent with the universal declaration of human rights.

“Glencore’s production of cobalt in the DRC is a by-product of our industrial copper production. Glencore’s operations in the DRC do not purchase or process any artisanally mined ore.

“Glencore does not tolerate any form of child, forced, or compulsory labour.”

Huayou, Apple, Google, Dell, Microsoft and Tesla have also been approached for comment.

 

THE SILICON VALLEY CARTEL MEMBERS
The Worst Ones – Rev 2.2

You would be shocked to learn how many people are killed, every day, for less than $50.00. ISIS and the Taliban will saw your head off for just an ideology. If people would commit murder over that small an amount of money, imagine what they would do to control the trillions of dollars of money that is always moving through the stock market. These are the people that will stop at nothing for power, mansions, hookers, private jets and greed!

Why are these people not yet arrested for election manipulation, RICO and Anti-trust violations, money laundering, bribery and other illicit deeds? Who is protecting them? Who is telling the police not to act? This list also serves as a demand for investigation and prosecution of these individuals who conspired to engage in these illicit acts. This is not the complete list.
