A Federal jury has ordered Tesla to pay $3.2 million (Roughly Rs 26.3 Cr) in damages to a former employee who won a racial harassment lawsuit against the electric carmaker.
The employee, Owen Diaz, worked as a lift operator at Tesla's Fremont factory from 2015 to 2016 and faced a racially hostile work environment, according to the lawsuit.
Diaz was initially awarded $137 million in damages, which was later reduced to $15 million by a US federal judge in April 2022.
Elon Musk, commented on the verdict through Twitter and said that the verdict would've been zero if the company had been allowed to introduce new evidence.
