ELON MUSK’S automobile manufacturer Tesla faces allegations of racial segregation at its California factory, with a lawsuit filed against the company on Wednesday.

“We found evidence that Tesla’s Fremont facility is a racially segregated workplace where black workers are subjected to racial slurs and discriminated against in job assignments, punishment, compensation and promotion,” head of the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing Kevin Kish said.

Hundreds of complaints were received by the agency, with factory bosses and co-workers also accused of making racial jokes.
