Former Employee Stole 300,000 Records
Actually, 300,000 files and source code do not represent only"work which you take home" It appears highly likely that, as Tesla alleges, Cao uploaded each one these files and is using them in Xpeng Motors, a rival Tesla.Tesla Hammers Former Employees in Court
Tesla has not been shy about suing former employees who have left for aggressive operations, especially in the area of autonomous driving. It's shocking that a firm like Tesla, that has had access to billions of dollars in capital, wouldn't have protocols in place to stop this sort of alleged theft from occurring. Sure he isn't...and Tesla vehicles do not explode all by themselves.Since it is, the bevy of all departures of employees across several branches at Tesla has contributed to a brain drain in Elon Musk's famously troubled firm. And Cao denies he is employing them. Finding and keeping the best employees in the company, in addition to people that can work in the seemingly chaotic environment in the company, will be a continuous challenge. There's a smoking gun in that case also. One of the defendants accidentally sent an email to another defendant's previous Tesla email. It contained virtually indistinguishable proprietary information out of Tesla with the Zoox label around it. In a controversial litigation in 2018, Elon Musk sued former employee Martin Tripp for allegedly leaking proprietary information regarding Tesla into the media. Tripp reacted by stating the material hadn't been stolen but shared from a"concern for public safety." Additionally, Cao admits that he never told Tesla that he had participated in such actions. There's simply no reason for any person to have uploaded these files. The latest lawsuit was filed against Guangzhi Cao, an former Tesla autopilot-division employee. In Cao's answer to Tesla's March lawsuithe admits into uploading 300,000 files related to Tesla's autopilot into his personal iCloud account. [embedded material ][embedded material ] If one were to think that which Elon Musk has ever said, it looks like it should be the happiest place on Earth, with overworked but enthralled employees working hard to shift the entire planet. It is based on the heels of the following Tesla lawsuit against former employees who afterwards became employed in Zoox, another autonomous-driving competitor that's poached over 100 Tesla employees. It must be highlighted that the number of employees that have left Musk's company should be a huge bearish indication to investors. However the brain-drain in the company is indicative of precisely the reverse.
