Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk says a disgruntled employee stole highly sensitive data from the electric carmaker’s manufacturing system and sent it to unknown third parties, Bloomberg News reports.
Musk sent an email to staffers Sunday night describing the breach as “extensive and damaging sabotage.” Bloomberg says the unidentified culprit is an employee who was denied a promotion. Musk’s email was first reported by cable news channel CNBC.
Musk points to a “long list” of detractors who want Tesla to fail. The group includes stock short-sellers, oil companies and producers of conventionally powered cars.
In a follow-up message on Monday, Musk urges the staff to look for any evidence of unusual incidents that could be harmful to the company as it strives to ramp up production volume of its new Model 3 sedan. He cites a small but “strange” fire that disrupted production for several hours.
