A jury has ordered Tesla to pay over $3 million Monday in a racial discrimination case brought by a former employee of its assembly plant in Fremont, California

The case was brought by Owen Diaz, who worked as an elevator operator at the plant. He reported he regularly heard racial slurs, including the N-word, on the Fremont factory floor, and saw racist graffiti in bathrooms and a racially insensitive cartoon. A San Francisco federal jury said the electric car company will have to pay Diaz a total of $3,175,000. In October 2021, a jury awarded him $137 million in damages in the case, but a federal judge threw out that award as excessive.

The trial is separate from another case brought by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which said the agency had received “hundreds” of complaints from workers alleging racism and harassment at the Fremont factory. Tesla has denied the charges that the situation was as bad as alleged in the two suits, but it has admitted there were problems which needed to be addressed at the plant.

This is just robbery by use of the court. Elon exposed a lot of crimes after buying Twitter, now I guess he must be punished. This is not justice, this is robbery.
