[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been sued again over allegations of racial discrimination and sexual harassment within the company.

On the 18th (Korean time), according to local media, Tesla individual investor Solomon Chau filed a lawsuit at the U.S. District Court in Austin, Texas, claiming that "despite employees raising issues about racial discrimination and sexual harassment incidents within the company, Musk ignored them." Chau argued that "the toxic workplace culture has damaged Tesla's reputation and caused financial losses to the company."

Tesla has previously faced multiple lawsuits related to racial discrimination and sexual harassment. In February, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) sued the company, stating that discrimination and harassment against Black workers were widespread at Tesla's Fremont factory. In October last year, Tesla was ordered to pay compensation to an elevator operator at the Fremont factory who experienced racial discrimination.

Recently, Tesla was also sued for damages by cryptocurrency investors over allegations of Dogecoin fraud, and faced a shareholder class-action lawsuit related to delayed disclosure of share acquisition in connection with the Twitter acquisition.
