    Source: Elon Musk email: Employee conducted 'extensive and damaging sabotage'

    I was dismayed to learn this weekend about a Tesla employee who had conducted quite extensive and damaging sabotage to our operations. This included making direct code changes to the Tesla Manufacturing Operating System under false usernames and exporting large amounts of highly sensitive Tesla data to unknown third parties.

    The full extent of his actions are not yet clear, but what he has admitted to so far is pretty bad. His stated motivation is that he wanted a promotion that he did not receive. In light of these actions, not promoting him was definitely the right move.

    And in the email Musk lists a group of possible conspiritors
    find the paragraph that starts
    "However, there may be considerably more to this situation than meets the eye" - sabotage/entropy
    and
    "As you know, there are a long list of organizations that want Tesla to die." - possible conspiritors and/or theories

    For some weird reason "probably working on car repairs or watching Bladerunner" I thought of space junk after reading the news.
    Than "started" reading this piece from The Atlantic
    The Danger of Space Junk - The Atlantic

    Source: Tesla sues former employee for allegedly stealing gigabytes of data, making false claims to media

    This includes the court filing. As they peel the onion, Tripp's confederates will be sought and hopefully identified.

    Another source: Martin Tripp: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com

    . . .
    Tripp has not spoken publicly about the allegations as of the time of publication.

    This is a developing story.    ​

    if i commit a crime at a company, whether it be set off a bomb, or destroy company records, or steal Trade Secrets, that doesn't entitle me to claim whistleblower status. A whistleblower simply says something illegal is happening. No such allegations by this person against Tesla have been alleged. But even if I were a real whistleblower, I still wouldn't be able to claim that shooting my boss fell under that umbrella. (ie, "King's X- !! - I'm a whistle-blower!")

    Just because you achieve incredible things - doesn't mean you will be any kind of societal role model. In fact, a lot of times it gets you a free pass.

    Well 46 years with the same 'she who must be obeyed.' I don't understand it either.
