Two internal whistleblowers at Faraday Future claim the troubled EV company has been lying about some of the few sales it has announced to date.
What’s more, they claim Faraday Future has been performing repairs on these early customer vehicles without proper documentation or work authorization, which he says could put the company’s license with the California Bureau of Automotive Repair at risk.
Faraday Future allegedly fired Guerrero on January 18 in retaliation for speaking up, according to his complaint.
Jia’s control over Faraday Future has always been a thorny issue.
Jia is still not CEO, but Guerrero and Xie claim in their lawsuits that he “heads a shadow organization” that controls the company’s destiny.
Another day, another lawsuit involving Elon Musk.
Four former Twitter executives, including ex-CEO Parag Agrawal, sued Musk on Monday, alleging that they’re owed over $128 million in severance payments.
According to the lawsuit, Musk has a “special ire” toward these former executives, who worked hard to hold Musk to his $44 billion commitment when he tried to back out.
Musk has faced several lawsuits from former Twitter employees who are also waiting for a check.
According to the lawsuit, Musk claimed that these executives committed “gross negligence” and “willful misconduct” in their termination letters, but never was able to show evidence of his allegations.
Two days after our short look into the rivalry, Temu filed suit against Shein.
Now, Temu is back with a fresh lawsuit that alleges a battery of illegal acts by Shein.
It’d be useful to recall at this point that Temu’s parent company PDD recently overtook Alibaba in market cap, and Shein wants to go public in the United States.
A Shein spokesperson told TechCrunch+ that the company “believe[s] this lawsuit is without merit and will vigorously defend” itself.
Some deal with Temu’s view that Shein is filing myriad “dubious copyright infringement lawsuits” against it, and alleges that the latter is issuing “voluminous, bad-faith DMCA takedown notices” against its rival.
