US anti-discrimination agency sues Tesla over 'pervasive' racism

A federal anti-discrimination agency filed a lawsuit Thursday accusing Elon Musk’s Tesla of allowing “pervasive” racism at its Silicon Valley car plant and retaliating against Black workers who opposed such abuse.

Black workers at Tesla’s factory in Fremont, California, have routinely endured stereotyping, racial insults and hostility since at least 2015, according to the suit filed in federal court by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
