Tesla, fighting lawsuits on multiple fronts over alleged racism in its workplaces, has been accused by Californias civil-rights regulator of systematic racial discrimination and harassment, the company revealed in a blog post Wednesday.
Californias Department of Fair Employment and Housing spent three years probing Tesla and intends to sue the company, according to the post, which said the potential lawsuit appears focused on alleged misconduct by production associates at the Fremont factory that took place between 2015 and 2019.
The post went on to allege that the electric vehicle maker has been unfairly targeted by state authorities
Despite repeated requests, the (Department of Fair Employment and Housing) has declined to provide Tesla with the specific allegations or the factual bases for its lawsuit, Tesla said.

Musk acts like he invented the concept of electric vehicles. He's far too egocentric for my tastes, not to mention being a selfish, right-wing pig.
