On the morning of August 19, Beijing time, it was reported that Alexander Yatskov, a former employee of Tesla, was accused of stealing secrets in court, but was led to arbitration behind closed doors. Yatskov was unable to defend himself publicly during the arbitration. He thought it humiliating to do so.

However, a federal judge in the United States held that Yatskov should accept this arrangement. Tesla accused Yatskov, who worked briefly at Tesla this year, for stealing sensitive patent information on computer technology. U.S. District Judge James Donato (James Donato) said: "I think you are on the road to arbitration." The judge thought that there was no other solution.

The case shows the fact that Tesla launched a strong attack on former employees without attracting too much public attention.

Tesla believes that Yatskov downloaded valuable supercomputer trade secrets to personal devices and tried to cover up the theft before resigning and leaving the company. Mr Musk said in January that a large number of employees spent countless hours building supercomputers designed to process huge amounts of data and solve complex engineering problems, including self-driving, but he could not guarantee the success of the Dojo project.

Yatskov's lawyer believes that it is inappropriate for Tesla to swing back and forth between court litigation and arbitration, and Tesla cannot take both paths. "Tesla wants to discredit Yatskov and hide the dispute in private arbitration," the lawyer said in the document. "

Donato believes that Tesla is "appropriately" making use of the compulsory arbitration clause signed by Yatskov and Tesla, and he hopes that the two sides can be reconciled. Donato said: "in the end, it may just be a matter of money. I mean, Yatskov doesn't want his job back, does he?" Mr. Yatskov's lawyer, John John Kirke, agreed with Donato.

Tesla, a lawyer, told the judge that they wanted to make up for the cost of the investigation, and the judge thought such a requirement would become an obstacle to reconciliation. The judge wanted the dispute to be settled by arbitration, but Kirk was obviously not satisfied. "We will do our best to publicly rectify Mr. Yatskov's name," he said. " Kirk was encouraged that the judge seemed to think that Tesla should support compensation to Yatskov to resolve the matter.
