BREAKING: Elon Musk emails employees about 'extensive and damaging sabotage' by employee - CNBC
From: Elon MuskTo: EverybodySubject: Some concerning newsJune 17, 201811:57 p.m.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.However, there may be considerably more to this situation than meets the eye, so the investigation will continue in depth this week. We need to figure out if he was acting alone or with others at Tesla and if he was working with any outside organizations.As you know, there are a long list of organizations that want Tesla to die. These include Wall Street short-sellers, who have already lost billions of dollars and stand to lose a lot more. Then there are the oil & gas companies, the wealthiest industry in the world — they don't love the idea of Tesla advancing the progress of solar power & electric cars. Don't want to blow your mind, but rumor has it that those companies are sometimes not super nice. Then there are the multitude of big gas/diesel car company competitors. If they're willing to cheat so much about emissions, maybe they're willing to cheat in other ways?Most of the time, when there is theft of goods, leaking of confidential information, dereliction of duty or outright sabotage, the reason really is something simple like wanting to get back at someone within the company or at the company as a whole. Occasionally, it is much more serious.Please be extremely vigilant, particularly over the next few weeks as we ramp up the production rate to 5k/week. This is when outside forces have the strongest motivation to stop us.If you know of, see or suspect anything suspicious, please send a note to [email address removed for privacy] with as much info as possible. This can be done in your name, which will be kept confidential, or completely anonymously.Looking forward to having a great week with you as we charge up the super exciting ramp to 5000 Model 3 cars per week!Will follow this up with emails every few days describing the progress and challenges of the Model 3 ramp.Thanks for working so hard to make Tesla successful,Elon

EMPLOYEES REBELLING AT TESLA

No more chant your old rhymes about old Robin Hood
His feats I do little admire
I'll sing the achievements of General Ludd
Now the hero of Nottingham Shire
Those engines of mischief were sentenced to die
By unanimous vote of the trade
And Ludd who cannot a position defy
Was the grand executioner made
Whether guarded by soldiers along the highway
Or closely secured in a room
He shivers them up by night and by day
And nothing can soften their doom
Shall the whole team of humble no longer oppressed
And shall Ludd sheath his conquering sword
Be his grievance instantly met with redress
Than peace shall be quickly restored
Let the wise and the great lend their aid and advice
Till full-fashioned work at the old-fashioned price
Is established by custom and law
hahaha holy fuck, can't wait to see Tesla die
CODEMONKEY UPRISING
Muskrat at it again
If Tesla goes down, I hope he Loin Musk gets bullied on twiiter till he kills himself.
Someone tweet him this in response: theguardian.com
"Your company"
The fucking nerve of Elongated Muskrat.
this sounds cultlike when put in e-mail form.
Was excited for a minute because of the plural, OP. But if it really was one frustrated guy acting in a spontaneous individualist fashion, it doesn't mean shit.
It's true that a small dedicated minority can totally fuck up a company from the inside. For instance, strikes at Amazon usually work like this: People just leave the building for some time, and at first this is highly stressful for management, but over time they figure out who takes part in strikes usually and they take care to show more people how to do this or task and they adapt. In Poland, there was a strike with people inside the building putting one item in a tote or on a cart and then "closing" the tote or cart. There are lots of processes inside Amazon that work with the assumption that one person fills up a cart or a tote with lots of items, and when it's full, the tote or cart gets "closed" with the scanning device you have in your hand, and then the cart or tote gets taken by somebody else in another step (putting the stuff on shelves or putting it in packages). If we lived in the pre-computer age, the people not participating in this strike would just put more stuff in the totes or on the carts. But the activities have to be synchronized with the database representation now, and the system has no way of letting normal workers "open" again the carts or totes. (Which is not to say that the re-open feature doesn't exist, there are people in special positions who can do that, but to unlock that for everybody would fuck with tracking individual activity.)
Dunno. The criminal in this email could be completely made up by Musk (a preemptive strategy to get loyal workers more alert in case something like the story is about to happen for real), but what he describes strikes me as true either way. Some people want to see Tesla fail. You can bet on a firm going down on the stock market. Maybe you have heard of a recent case in Germany, where somebody tried to kill or maim a soccer team with bombs? That soccer team is also on the stock market.
So Tesla is definitely going bust by the end of summer. Will Musk be ruined personally? Will his other obnoxious ventures? Can someone in the know give us the prognoses we crave?
I hope he goes out like the guy who made Debian.
it's all too predictable
Hes going to miss his Q3 productions number and have Telsa market valuation rekt by all the short selling on it right now. He's preemptively making excuses for it now.
No way this guy wouldn't be in jail right now for this level of corporate espionage.
The whole "He did it because we didn't promote him" seems bogus. Like "hehe I'm so smart, I saw right through it". Most of the automobile press is making fun of it.
Musk will be the fall-guy when shit hits the fan, it feels like whenever things aren't going well all the elites draw straws and someone has to suck it up and be the "sacrifice" for the rest.
Owch, sick burn.
This, he's trying to distract, Telsa is gonna be gone by next year and SpaceX will follow
Anti union, welfare queen that is worshiped by crapitalist media is the fall guy
