A black employee at Tesla's California gigafactory claims he was called the N-word 'approximately 100 times' and saw swastikas and KKK signs plastered over the bathroom as the company faces a major racism lawsuit.
Aaron Craven's sworn declaration is among 100 others from fellow staff members claiming Elon Musk's electric car giant discriminates against black people and has created a toxic atmosphere at its main factory in Fremont.
'I was directly called ''n*****' approximately 100 times at the Fremont factory,' Craven said in a sworn statement filed to Alameda County Superior Court, which has been seen by Dailymail.com.
Craven has since left the car giant.
Another plaintiff, ex-contractor Aaron Minor, said he heard Tesla employees describing the factory as 'the Plantation' and its black employees as 'cotton workers'

On target I wager he also has a nice bridge in NY for sale.
Spend any amount of time in a majority black neighborhood, and you’ll hear that word all the time. Heck, I’ve been called the n word, and I’m about as black as Elizabeth Warren is Native American.
It’s used in place of “guy” “dude” “adult male”, and carries the same (non existent) offense.
IF this ever happened at all (which I doubt) it was in that context, and by another black male, in private with no malicious intent, and none taken at the time.
Don’t be such a nagger, Aaron.
Seems highly unlikely.
And he didn’t take a single picture of the signs in the bathroom because no one takes pictures of everything nowadays.
In at least 20 years and likely much longer, I haven't heard a single white person utter the "n" word. (Quentin Tarantino movies excepted.)
However, I hear black people using it all the time, especially in the stupid rap songs they sing.
As for swastikas and KKK, give me a break. There's something like three people in the KKK these days and nobody writes swastikas anymore, except when somebody wants to plant evidence in order to fake a hate crime.
And all three of them are FBI informants.
