Tesla's Legal Team Under Fire Amidst California Racism Trial
A California racism trial against Tesla opened with immediate controversy as one of the company's attorneys allegedly misled a witness by posing as a state official. Further complicating matters, Tesla's outside counsel claimed in court that the N-word could be considered a 'term of respect and endearment' within the Black community. These incidents occurred before the judge who will ultimately decide the case, drawing immediate scrutiny to Tesla's legal strategy.
