Elon Musk says Apple hires the people that Tesla fires
-
In a recent interview with German newspaper Handelsblatt, the Tesla CEO took two very aggressive swipes at the company that could one day challenge him in the automotive industry. First, Musk suggested that Apple has been eager to recruit engineers and other employees who failed to pull their weight or make any significant impact while working at Tesla. "They have hired people we’ve fired," Musk said. "We always jokingly call Apple the 'Tesla Graveyard.' If you don’t make it at Tesla, you go work at Apple. I’m not kidding," Musk added.
The Apple doesn't fall far from the Tesla.

I'm certainly not pro-Apple, but I suspect that Tesla is firing (or at least hiring) the wrong people. This may also actually be a subtle form of industrial espionage -- with engineering information leaking from Tesla to Apple. Either way, it reflects poorly on Tesla, not Apple.

I was wondering whether an employee who actually left Tesla of own accord wouldn't be able to sue Mr Musk for substantial damages? It pretty much sounds to me it is as if all the engineers that left for Apple were fired. Could even make it class action...
