"He's Pure Evil": Former Tesla Engineer Says Elon Musk Threatened to Deport Her Team for Pointing Out a Problem With the Brakes
Briefly

A former Tesla engineer, Balan, alleges she was fired for voicing concerns about brake safety to Elon Musk and faced deportation threats for her team. She claims her worries about curling carpets underneath pedals posed a major hazard. Despite Musk's encouragement to report safety issues, she received threats from legal teams after raising her concerns. Balan labeled Musk as "pure evil" and continues her legal battle against Tesla, highlighting a troubling workplace culture of retaliation and fear for employees who speak out, which has been a pattern under Musk's management style.
Balan's accusations highlight a disturbing aspect of Tesla's workplace culture that has repeatedly come under scrutiny. The fear of retaliation for raising legitimate safety concerns is pervasive among employees.
Balan claims that instead of addressing her safety concerns about the brakes, Tesla responded with threats of deportation to suppress her voice, further exemplifying the toxic environment within the company.
