Tesla asks judge to pause suit alleging ‘rampant racism’ against Black workers

Tesla has asked a California judge to pause a lawsuit against the company alleging widespread racial discrimination at its flagship assembly plant.

In a Monday court filing, Tesla said the state should further investigate allegations brought against it by the state’s department of fair employment and housing (DFEH) and allow a chance to settle the litigation.

The suit filed by the DFEH alleges that Black workers in the company’s Fremont factory experienced “rampant racism” that the company left “unchecked for years”. But Tesla’s lawyers said in the Monday filing that the DFEH conducted a “bare bones investigation” before suing and did not share many worker complaints with the company until after the lawsuit was filed.

I drove about 170 miles today, mostly m6, m42, m40.

I was overtaken by a black model s & a white model 3, so there looks to be a huge market for Tesla to go after.

From South of Stafford there was a 60 mph limit to well into Birmingham. A sign said speed limits reduce pollution, which seemed the only rational as I saw no road works.

In preparing for my trip I had to put £75 of diesel into my car. High fuel cost, signage that tell drivers they are polluting the air, looks to me to be great advertising for Tesla & other BEV.

As a slight concession to making the world better I bought a new electric mover, fabulous & I doubt I will go back to a petrol machine in any place where electric is practical.

Elon Musk has lined up $46.5bn in financing to buy Twitter, and is trying to negotiate an agreement with the company, according to regulatory filings.

I suppose he had to do something with his bonus

Ha ha, this corruption courtesy of my iPhone which changes what I tyre recklessly & then I missed it, so my bad. Thanks for pointing it out, I will try to be more vigilant.

The bid is in line with his mantra of wanting to make the world a better place & for democracies to function there needs to be free speech.

There is also a business angle as Twitter is not well run lagging its competitors, but with decent management it can become the radio, television & newspaper of the 21st century & if this is achieved it will be a trillion $ company.

Interesting video. The Tesla looks to have no driver, so did it roll because of no parking brake or other reason?

Will Warren Buffett invest in Tesla?

Until recently Gates was a director at Berkshire and a strong critique of Tesla and currently has a large short position.

However, Gates resigned following scandal at Microsoft & so is now no longer advising Buffett.

Buffett has for years been negative tech, but changed his ways, becoming a major investor in Apple.

As things now are Tesla is the sort of business that Buffett has liked: No debt, very high growth, huge moat.

Inconceivable to me that Buffett has not studied Tesla & that he could become an investor.

If this happens I would expect Tesla stock given the blessing of Buffett to rise significantly.

Clearly this is pure speculation on my part, but if it happens would be very bullish for Tesla equity holders.

Good news as far as I am concerned.
He might turn it from a left wing echo chamber into something more balanced.

If it was any good Facebook would have bought it...

Elon Musk called the Covid lockdown in the USA "fascism" but has been very quiet about the Chinese Covid lockdown according to Sky Business news.

They wonder (prompted by Elon's fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos) if there will be a Chinese influence on Twitter in future, given Shanghai's importance to Tesla's profits.

As far as I understand it, Twitter is banned in China. They have developed tiktoc.

Is the same idea that if the Tesla Berlin site was any good, then Mercedes would have bought it.

Meanwhile Tesla have begun making cars at giga Berlin.

Come on, you can see the massive hole in that comparison can't you?

BMW didn't abandon the site because they wouldn't be able to develop the site, but because it would involve a long, arduous planning process with restrictions on how the site could be developed, which is exactly what Tesla got.
