What am I supposed to take away? Some other former employee (who is broke, was fired and is trying to get his job back at Tesla) claims the problems were not that bad (Does he have expertise in batteries?). He makes a bunch of other unfounded allegations about Tripp claiming about getting paid (Musk in his deposition testified that there was no actual evidence for that allegation). The entire testimony reads like incoherent rambling.

> unfounded allegations about Tripp claiming about getting paid

This has already been substantiated on the court documents.

>(Musk in his deposition testified that there was no actual evidence for that allegation).

Do you have a link for this claim? I'm curious to read it.

Page 83 and 84 of the Musk deposition for Lopez.

Musk says that his private security told him that Tripp's colleague (who was living in his car begging for his job back) told him about a payment but the private security testified their investigation found no evidence. Musk himself doesn't explicitly testify that there was no evidence in that passage. I confused that section with his testimony about the lack of evidence linking Tripp to shortsellers on page 96.

So the entire claim about payment rests on the testimony of a QA technician who got fired for cause from Tesla, was living in his car and begging Tesla for his job back, a claim that Musk's own private investigator testified they could find no evidence for.

A link to your claims would be great. Otherwise, it's hard to take it seriously.
