SAN FRANCISCO — A jury on Monday ordered Tesla to pay nearly $137 million in damages in a case that alleged an employee encountered racist abuse, discrimination and harassment at the company’s plant in Fremont, Calif.
Owen Diaz, an elevator operator who worked for the company between June 2015 and May 2016, sued Tesla, alleging a hostile work environment and racial harassment, and said “daily racist epithets” such as the n-word were used in the factory, where his son, Demetric, also worked. The initial suit by Diaz, who is Black, alleged that workers encountered a scene “straight from the Jim Crow era,” where workers were subjected to frequent racist harassment and supervisors took no action.

Well he is moving to a dry dusty place, apparently.
(Edit: I’ve shown my ignorance of Texas by calling Austin dry and dusty. Is there any other way that it’s comparable to Mars, or do I need to give up on making a joke?)

There are places in Texas that I would wish on Elon; but I don’t wish Elon on Austin.

Wait until he finds out that the state he wants to build electric cars in doesn’t have a reliable electrical grid.

Austin is not actually a dry place. Average of 35 inches of precipitation a year. Summers are pretty humid too. It isn’t Houston, but far from dry.

Yes and Abbott has spent a lot of money courting Tesla, plus a whole heap of tax incentives

So he opposes the right to choose and supports homophobia and transphobia?
He may be losing some key employees.

It’s an easy mistake to make since it’s largely portrayed as rolling plains and oil rigs (which there’s plenty of - don’t get me wrong) but it’s far more diverse than you might think. It’s a huge state with lots of different climates. The western half is largely desert but the eastern half is largely subtropical. Houston gets more rainfall than Seattle.
Austin isn’t so bad. It’s relatively liberal, and is a hotbed for tech companies in the state. Sad to see Musk stinking up the place.

I did like that scene from the movie Bernie where a Texan was describing the different regions of his state, especially when he got to the panhandle.

Prolly a selling point for him. Profit to be made there.

You don’t need to fix the grid. Be independent- buy my powerwall!

Seattle just drizzles a little, constantly, whereas Houston is where tornado country meets hurricane country
