Tesla | Elon Musk's car firm to pay ex-worker £2.6m over racial abuse at work

Tesla has been ordered to pay more the equivalent of £2.6million to an ex-employee who was subjected to racial slurs and harassment in the workplace.

A jury in the US ruled that the electric carmaker, headed up by Elon Musk, must pay $3.2million to Owen Diaz, a black former employee who worked as a lift operator at the firm’s plant in San Francisco between 2015 and 2016.
