Very deceptive to call what Tripp posted to Twitter "a trove of confidential internal documents." There were:

- Photos of trailers parked outside the Gigafactory full of potentially hazardous battery waste.

- Photos of shoddy workplaces within the Gigafactory and precision work being done with crude implements like Dremel tools.

- VIN numbers of cars which Tripp believed had been fitted with batteries with possibly punctured cells handled by the defective GF machine.

- Some entries in the accounting system which Tripp claimed supported his argument that waste was not being accounted for correctly.

- Photos of internal emails with Tesla execs (including Musk) where he tried to raise concerns about scrap and the general chaos at the Gigafactory.

Woa, woa, woa! You're hurting your credibility with this one!

crude in the context of the job they were being used to do. I agree Dremels can be awesome! :-)
Sometimes a job calls for duct tape.
