A star-Reporter team has revealed: There were a striking number of work accidents in Tesla’s Brandenburg car factory. In addition, a number of accidents could endanger the region’s groundwater. Similar problems had long been known from the USA – but German politicians apparently underestimated them.

And one of his security chiefs later apparently found that Musk had not made a possibly ironic comment about the pressure Tesla was under. But the description of a daily reality in his workshops.

“It’s only a matter of time before someone dies,” she later said.
