Owen Diaz said he worked as an elevator operator at Tesla's factory in Fremont, California for nearly a year a supervisor and colleagues repeatedly referred to him with racial slurs. He also added that the employees had drawn swastikas and racial epithets in the bathroom stalls and derogatory caricatures of Black children around the factory. Even after repeated complaints, the company did not address the behavior. "They didn't remove the behavior, they just let them keep adding and adding", he said. Despite the abuse he faced at the company, Mr. Diaz said he reached a breaking point when he saw that there were similar racial epithets directed at his son Demetric who also secured a job at the company. The jury declared that Tesla had created a hostile work environment and failed to address racism.
