Oct 4, 2021
The US District Court in northern California ordered Tesla Inc to pay over $130 million (€112 million) in damages to a Black former employee on Monday, according to reports from the Wall Street Journal.
Owen Diaz had sued the vehicle manufacturer over the racist abuse he endured while employed as an elevator operator.
Diaz had worked at the company's Fremont factory during 2015 and 2016 and had been subjected to racist slurs, as well as highly offensive graffiti.
A federal jury decided that the automaker failed to take adequate measures to prevent Diaz from being racially abused according to the US publication.
