Tesla may have looked into Elon Musk's potential wrongdoing. According to sources cited by The Wall Street Journal, the board of the EV manufacturer opened an inquiry because it was worried Musk would be using company money to construct a home close to the Gigafactory in the Austin region. The endeavor, known as "Project 42," is thought to include the acquisition of millions of dollars' worth of unique glass; it is so significant that it caught the attention of employees the previous year. Large-scale land purchases in the region have also reportedly been made by limited liability companies connected to Musk and company executives.
A "twisted hexagon" or a glass cube resembling Apple's 5th Avenue shop were two design ideas for the home. The presence of beds, bathrooms, and a kitchen gave the impression that this was a private area, according to the tipsters.
The investigation's status and outcomes remain unknown. Years ago, Tesla shut down its public relations division, and as of this writing, Musk hasn't responded to the report. But according to reports, the board was curious to know whether Musk was involved and whether any employee time had been allocated to the residence. Last year, Bloomberg was made aware of the glass order, but was unaware of the board or the details of Project 42.
