Tesla is no ordinary automaker, and Elon Musk is no ordinary CEO. He makes grand bets and pronouncements, gets cornered by TMZ, and injects himself into spats with other tech luminaries. Occasionally, lawyers get involved.

In the past month or so, a lot of lawyers have gotten involved. On August 7, the Tesla CEO tweeted that he was considering taking his company private, and that he had secured the funding to do so. The latter may not have been completely true, which has drawn the attention of shareholders and federal regulators alike.

Meanwhile, ex-employees have filed two whistle-blower complaints with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, alleging retaliation and the coverup of a drug ring. Others say they were improperly fired from the company, or that it improperly interfered with potential board members. And at least four Tesla shareholders have accused the company of fraud and market manipulation—and one wants everyone who purchased Tesla securities after that tweet to join his case. Meanwhile, the SEC has reportedly opened a probe into Musk’s Twitter activity; the commission served the electric car maker with subpoenas on last week.

There is a lot happening, and with the fate of Tesla far from certain, it’s a good moment to pause and run through some of the wildest allegations thrown about in the last three months, which fall on a spectrum from “yeesh” to “yikes” to “Holy Mother of God.” Of course, these lawsuits are all based on allegations at this point. Nothing has been proven yet, and lawsuits tend to come with the territory when you’re running a big company. These will (likely) play out slowly, and hopefully with heapings of thoughtful deliberation and hard evidence, within the justice system. But in the meantime, expect them to serve as frustrating mountains (or mole hills) to scale as the company continues to work on ramping up its vehicle production.

The Martin Tripp Complaint

On July 11, a former Tesla technician named Martin Tripp filed a whistle-blower complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission, alleging Tesla had lied to investors about production numbers and knowingly used damaged batteries and scrapped parts in its cars. Tesla denies the allegations, and says it fired Tripp for leaking information to reporters, stealing trade secrets, and hacking into the company’s computer systems. In June, it sued Tripp for hacking and trade secret theft.

Last week, Tripp tweeted out internal photos and emails that he says corroborate his claims. The former employee deleted his Twitter account a day later.

In a statement to WIRED, a Tesla spokesperson called the claims false: “Mr. Tripp does not even have personal knowledge about the safety claims that he is making. No punctured cells have ever been used in any Model 3 vehicles in any way, and all VINs that have been identified have safe batteries. Notably, there have been zero battery safety issues in any Model 3.”

Karl Hansen Complaint

Last Thursday, another former member of Tesla’s internal security department filed a whistle-blower complaint with the SEC, and this one—if you can believe it—is even stranger. Karl Hansen alleges that the electric car maker failed to inform its shareholders and law enforcement that it had uncovered an employee-run drug trafficking scheme out of its Nevada Gigafactory battery plant.

In a summary of the complaint reviewed by Jalopnik, Hansen wrote that in May, the Drug Enforcement Administration informed the automaker that “a Tesla employee may be a participant in a narcotics trafficking ring involving the sale of significant quantities of cocaine and possibly crystal methamphetamine at the Gigafactory on behalf of a Mexican drug cartel from Sonora, Mexico.” (In a statement, the DEA told BuzzFeed it “does not notify non-law enforcement entities of ongoing or pending investigations.”) Hansen says he told Tesla that he had confirmed this law enforcement tip in mid-June, but that the company did not inform board members or the public.
