I don’t care of Musk rat either. I think the originator could take his company to height not seen not that idiot who not only has sold whatever EV secrets and intellectual property right not only over to the Germans but the Moron is at stupid founder of that ****ty on line banking scam called paypal. I never used it and would’nt. He’s a Scam artist. and the hell in a south african doing in the US anyway go back to S.A. Elon Musk and give the company up to MR. Martin Eberhard. there I said my peace. Just don’t give all your secrets away .

As I have repeatedly said, Tesla is not going to make it because an all electric car, meant for real road conditions, is just too expensive. Even at $105,000 they are losing huge amounts of money. Hopefully in 15 years viable tech will exist.

Mr. Eberhard, I hope you have a legal group behind you that rivals Larry Sonsini’s group. I wish you the best…….Musk is a putz.

It would be a shame if Tesla fell apart. It is a project that needs to succeed if only to prove the viability of the electric car as a fun vehicle. But, if they can’t hold it together as a business then consumer confidence will plunge. I understand what Eberhard is doing- I would want to slap that bitch Musk with a lawsuit too. If I was Eberhard I would try and take the whole company down out of vengence- even as its founder.

I agree with Gantra… Musk is a jerk, I heard about what he did to his employees with that huge email witch hunt.

If you DIDN’T hear about that, basically after one of his employees leaked some info and he launched a huge investigation to find and fire the idiot. He decided that he would stamp out any other disloyalty by sending all employees a memo about trust and loyalty.

Here’s the catch, each email was slightly altered so that if it was leaked to the media he would know exactly who leaked it.

Long story short, he got caught by his own employees and well… we all know how big of an idiot he is now… If my employer did that to me I’d quit then and there, and see about the possibility of a lawsuit (Probably wouldn’t have any grounds, but I’d still ask).

Full story here (You’ve really gotta read this…)

I hope Martin Eberhard all the best.

Elon Musk is the most rude, unprofessional egomaniac who thinks that just because he made a fortune by founding several dotcoms everthing he does is perfection itself and he can just railroad anyone he wants with his big wallet.

Elon needs to learn to keep his big mouth shut. The crude insults he regularly spits out publicly make Donald Trump look like someone with actual class.

I have a feeling it will not get to trial and parties will resolve their differences amiably. Or not.

Elon’s enormous ego could make the story interesting and certainly not without a fight. Maybe it’ll be as amicable as when Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards split up.

Settle it with plastic shovels at 3 paces in Elon’s sandbox.

Man, I don’t like that guy. I would be a Tesla fan if Eberhard still ran the place.

We’ve all been through this- work for a startup, work your ass off, get the product real, new management comes in and wants to change everything, you want to protect your product, out you go

I’m sure he’ll get what’s coming to him- Tesla is engaged to Daimler- they don’t need the bad press

I hope Tesla doesn’t die. Or then whatever, get the evil out even if it kills all that’s left.
