Tesla has allegedly ruined the reputation of a Bay Area engineer by filing a lawsuit falsely accusing him of stealing trade secrets, according to court filings.

The electric car company headed by CEO Elon Musk filed suit in May, accusing Alex Yatskov of transferring from his work devices to his personal devices confidential information about the artificial-intelligence supercomputer he was hired to help keep cool, and handing company investigators a “dummy” laptop in a bid to cover his tracks.
