    The jaw dropping gaffes emerged the first day of a major bench trial being prosecuted by the state of California, over an alleged pattern of rampant racism and negligence in Tesla’s massive production facility. Previously, Electrek reported that Black Tesla workers at the facility were subjected to racial prejudice by way of wage discrimination, segregation, and racial slurs.

    According to numerous complaints filed by workers, plant management routinely used the n-word and reffered to the rank-and-file as “slaves.” That horrifying pattern of rhetoric earned the facility a reputation as a “plantation” among workers.

    On top of that, Elektrek reported racist graffiti and swastikas regularly appeared in high-traffic areas, which Tesla management simply ignored.

      I’m sorry but working for the death star demands you tolerate bigotry of all sorts, because they’re Nazis. Don’t work for Nazis.
