对于特斯拉首席执行官埃隆马斯克来说，这几周是非常艰难的。上个月的这个时候，特斯拉的股票接近历史新高，马斯克正处于收购 Twitter 的边缘。然而，现在推特交易陷入僵局，特斯拉股价暴跌超过 30%。与此同时，马斯克面临着可追溯到五年前的性行为不端指控。

周五，马斯克在推特上宣布，特斯拉正在组建一个“核心”诉讼部门，将直接向他汇报。马斯克表示，该部门“永远不会在针对我们的正义案件中寻求胜利”，但同样不会在针对特斯拉的不公正案件中投降。

马斯克鼓励申请人发送电子邮件至justice@tesla.com ，并附 上3-5个要点“描述卓越能力的证据”。

有趣的是，特斯拉在中国已经拥有一支相当强大的法律团队。特斯拉的中国法律顾问过去曾多次关闭虚假报道，并要求新闻媒体和社交媒体影响者道歉。看来马斯克现在想要在西方世界也有类似的东西。

特斯拉最近在美国面临几起诉讼，其中最引人注目的是一起种族歧视案，一名黑人前合同工获得了 1.37 亿美元的赔偿。然而，在公众强烈反对（许多人认为如此大笔的金额更适合众多激进组织而不是单个个人）和特斯拉的上诉之后，旧金山法官将损失大幅削减至 1500 万美元。

"There Will Be Blood" - Elon Musk Announces Litigation Department Amidst Allegations

Tesla's CEO wants his firm to lawyer up.

It's been a rough few weeks for Tesla CEO Elon Musk. This time last month Tesla stock was nearing an all-time high and Musk was on the verge of buying Twitter. However, now the Twitter deal is stalling and Tesla stock has plummeted by over 30%. Meanwhile Musk is facing sexual misconduct allegations dating back to half a decade ago.

On Friday Musk announced on Twitter that Tesla was forming a "hardcore" litigation department that will report directly to him. Musk stated the department will "never seek victory in a just case against us" but equally it won't ever surrender in the instance of an unjust case against Tesla.

Musk encouraged applicants to email justice@tesla.com with 3-5 bullet points “describing evidence of exceptional ability”.

Interestingly, Tesla already has a rather strong legal team in China. Tesla's Chinese legal counsel has shut down false stories and demanded apologies from news outlets and social media influencers on numerous occasions in the past. It appears Musk now wants something similar in the Western World.

Tesla has faced several US lawsuits in recent times, most notably a racial discrimination case which saw a Black former contract worker awarded $137 million. However, after much public backlash (many felt such a large sum was better suited to numerous activist groups rather than a sole individual) and an appeal by Tesla the damages were drastically cut down to $15 million by a San Fransisco judge.
