>Therefore, Eisenmann is responsible and Tesla should not be held accountable.

Why not? Otherwise, follow the logic: sub-contractor after sub-contractor until you reach the bottom and you've got some fly-by-night operation that you can't hold accountable.

Everyone involved shares the blame, including Tesla

Blame has to stop somewhere. By that logic, why stop at Tesla? Perhaps we should blame Tesla's individual investors? Or all the consumers who placed a deposit down for a Model 3? Or the City of Freemont? Or the Californian government? Or the US government?
Because a customer shouldn't be held accountable for another company's actions. The government's job is to enforce labor laws and it should do just that. Then we don't have this gross attempt to just find the biggest bank account to blame.
>Why not?

Because its govt's job to enforce labor laws not Tesla's .

Maybe Tesla is responsible from a moral pov .
