What verification would have satisfied you for the fraud at Wirecard (or Enron, etc.)?
What exactly is that rate? Is it higher than other battery/ICE cars?
Edit: My comment was very, very neutral. And very, very factual. Shame on you whoever downvoted me.

Martin Tripp, a slight man of 40 who’d spent his career in a series of low-level manufacturing jobs before finding his way to the assembly line at the Gigafactory. Tripp later claimed to be an idealist trying to get Tesla to tighten its operations; Musk saw him as a dangerous foe who engaged in “extensive and damaging sabotage,” as he wrote in a staff memo.
I’m not saying I do/don’t believe his claims, I just don’t know what they are to begin with.
Tripp tried to bring the issue to management's attention. Musk and management ignored him. Tripp then went to the press. Musk then fired him, put him under 24/7 surveillance, tapped his cell phone using a stinger, and seemingly[1] ordered someone to "SWAT" him by calling in a fake threat that Tripp was armed and coming to Tesla to "shoot up the place". Tripp is now suing.
[1] Hard to believe that it wasn't done a Musk's direction given that similar things have happened to other whisteblowers (child services was called on another [I believe she is now suing], Musk personally called the boss of at least one other, Musk tried to get another external whistleblower arrested by falsely claiming vehicular assault [and also tried to get him expelled], that person is now suing).
This is very different from the diesel emissions lie that is killing millions of people silently every year.
I'm not sure what I'd be asking you to buy here. I'm neither siding with or against OP. I'm just making a point about levels of proof needed regarding actions by someone who is beloved by the public.
This isn't really controversial. Look how many allegations it took to sway people about Bill Cosby, for example.
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.
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.
It'd be better if you actually explained your position or made your point in addition to just commenting links.
I don't like to speculate. I would rather others form their own opinion.
