周日半夜，Elon Musk 给 Tesla 全体员工发了一封邮件，在接下来的一周里 Tesla 要开启一个内部调查，原因是一名原因有“大规模的破坏行为”！
在邮件中 Musk 称这名员工的破坏行为“用假的用户名直接修改 Tesla 操作系统的代码，将大量的敏感数据泄露给不知名的第三方”。根据邮件中的内容，这位不具名的员工之所以要这样做是因为他没有得到晋升，而且 Musk 还暗示说这名员工的破坏行为可能不仅仅是出于愤恨和抱负，所以这个礼拜会对此事件进行深度调查。他还说“你们都知道，很多公司都希望 Tesla 死掉”，还拿“华尔街的空头”和“石油/汽油公司”来举例。Musk 要求员工们对于同事的可疑行为警觉，他说“现在外界力量想要摧毁我们的动力最强”。
上周，Musk 才宣布 Tesla 将裁员9%，目的是为了优化利润率。
以下是 Elon Musk 邮件的全文：

I was dismayed to learn this weekend about a Tesla employee who had conducted quite extensive and damaging sabotage to our operations. This included making direct code changes to the Tesla Manufacturing Operating System under false usernames and exporting large amounts of highly sensitive Tesla data to unknown third parties.
The full extent of his actions are not yet clear, but what he has admitted to so far is pretty bad. His stated motivation is that he wanted a promotion that he did not receive. In light of these actions, not promoting him was definitely the right move.
However, there may be considerably more to this situation than meets the eye, so the investigation will continue in depth this week. We need to figure out if he was acting alone or with others at Tesla and if he was working with any outside organizations.
As you know, there are a long list of organizations that want Tesla to die. These include Wall Street short-sellers, who have already lost billions of dollars and stand to lose a lot more. Then there are the oil & gas companies, the wealthiest industry in the world — they don't love the idea of Tesla advancing the progress of solar power & electric cars. Don't want to blow your mind, but rumor has it that those companies are sometimes not super nice. Then there are the multitude of big gas/diesel car company competitors. If they're willing to cheat so much about emissions, maybe they're willing to cheat in other ways?
Most of the time, when there is theft of goods, leaking of confidential information, dereliction of duty or outright sabotage, the reason really is something simple like wanting to get back at someone within the company or at the company as a whole. Occasionally, it is much more serious.
Please be extremely vigilant, particularly over the next few weeks as we ramp up the production rate to 5k/week. This is when outside forces have the strongest motivation to stop us.
If you know of, see or suspect anything suspicious, please send a note to [email protected] with as much info as possible. This can be done in your name, which will be kept confidential, or completely anonymously.
Looking forward to having a great week with you as we charge up the super exciting ramp to 5000 Model 3 cars per week!
Will follow this up with emails every few days describing the progress and challenges of the Model 3 ramp.
Thanks for working so hard to make Tesla successful,
Elon
