Engineer Cristina Balan was once such a rising star at Tesla in the US that her initials were engraved on the batteries inside every Model S electric car.
But after raising a safety concern about a design flaw which could affect the cars’ braking in 2014, she claims management turned hostile, and she lost her job.
She won a wrongful dismissal case but was later publicly accused by Tesla of using its resources for a “secret project”.

He did something similar with that poor man who helped rescue the kids in the Thailand cave incident. A deplorable human being.

Yeah this company sucks. His plan is to “save humanity” while himself and his firm spits and attacks his own employees that pointed out how to get rid of faults to help his mission… laughable really the board is corrupt af

I’m sure Nikola Tesla would want the company to stop using his name if this is the way they treat their talent.

Tesla needs a new CEO. Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning founded Tesla on their ideas and that resulted in the S, 3, X, and Y. Unfortunately, Elon took over, kicked them out, declared himself founder, claimed that the "master plan" was his, and now he's ruining the company. The start of the cracks is the CyberTruck. The CyberTruck is all Elon and it's horrible. Expect things to get worse.
