Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk warned employees about sabotage after two incidents this week put the company on guard. In company-wide emails, Musk said an employee had admitted to conducting corporate sabotage, and a potentially suspicious fire had broken out in its factory’s body-shop on Monday (June 18).

Musk’s first email, sent Sunday (June 17), stated an employee had conducted “quite extensive and damaging sabotage to our operation.” The message, first reported by CNBC, noted the person used false credentials to manipulate Tesla’s manufacturing software, as well as exporting “large amounts” of highly sensitive Tesla data to unknown third parties. Tesla claims the employee admitted to the acts after failing to get a desired a promotion.
