Point taken, but it's not wage theft so long as he's paying them. He's stealing from Tesla stockholders. Though I imagine the engineers he borrowed have existing priorities and deadlines, so the experience for them and their teams probably isn't great.

Correct. I used wrong term. It’s theft from Tesla shareholders.

Ya, no, it may not be popular but it isn't illegal and the impact on Tesla will be neglible.

It may be poor options or even poor management but it isn't theft.

“Hey, take some vacation days to do some lucrative consultation work” is probably how it went.
