> Elon Musk is the Preston Tucker of our time — seems to get hammered from all sides while trying to break the status quo. I have no information to comment on the validity of any allegations, but it seems like Musk is continually under attack. I was a moderate Musk fan before, but now I am really hoping for his success. It seems to me that if you are pissing off everyone, you’re doing something right.
Maybe you should read about the allegations? He's under attack for abusing his workers. This is a good reason to be pissed off, and a good reason _not_ to hope for his success.
That's an important word, since it does not mean that he is convicted of doing so. If investigation immediately meant guilt, the world would be a very different place.
To be fair, this particular investigation alleges that Tesla has underreported workplace-related injuries by classifying them as minor or unrelated personal issues; Tesla argues that it does not misclassify injuries. The integrity of the public data (what Tesla is required to report) is in question, so I don't know if we can call it "verified", other than in the official sense (i.e. we know what Tesla has officially reported).
