Elon Musk is ‘pure evil’: Ex-Tesla engineer & whistleblower
Cristina Balan, a former Tesla engineer and whistleblower, has unleashed a scathing attack on billionaire Elon Musk, labelling him “pure evil” after a California judge reopened her dismissed defamation case against Tesla on April 17. Balan, a cancer patient, had been fired in 2014 after raising concerns about a braking issue in one of Tesla’s models, and she claims that she was targeted by Musk and the company for speaking out.
The developments in the case are a significant blow to Tesla and Musk, who have long been accused of prioritizing profits over safety and ignoring the concerns of employees and customers. For Balan, the reopening of the case is a major victory, and she has spoken out about her experience and the motivations behind her lawsuit.
“I started this lawsuit to prove my innocence and…how vindictive this monster is,” Balan said in an interview with Hindustan Times. “I’m not doing this for personal gain. I’m doing this to show that what Tesla and Elon Musk did to me is wrong.”
Balan’s case against Tesla and Musk centers around her allegations that she was fired from the company in 2014 after raising concerns about a braking issue in the Model S, one of Tesla’s most popular models. According to Balan, she had identified a problem with the car’s braking system, but her concerns were ignored by her superiors and ultimately, she was let go from the company.
The case has been widely reported, with many outlets highlighting the allegations of mistreatment and retaliation by Tesla and Musk against Balan. The company has maintained that Balan was fired for poor performance, but Balan has disputed this, saying that she was a top performer and was only fired after she spoke out about the braking issue.
The reopening of Balan’s case is a significant development, and it comes at a time when Tesla is facing numerous challenges, including regulatory scrutiny and concerns about the safety of its vehicles. The company has been plagued by a series of high-profile accidents and recalls, and many have accused Musk of prioritizing profits over safety.
For Balan, the reopening of her case is a major victory, and she is determined to see the case through to its conclusion. “I’m not going to back down,” she said. “I’m going to keep fighting until I get justice.”
