Former CEO goes after Tesla, Musk

Martin Eberhard wants his second Roadster and his title back as the “founder” of Tesla Motors.

The former founder and CEO of Tesla filed a lawsuit against the electric automaker and current CEO Elon Musk for slander, libel, breach of contract and other complaints. The suit was filed May 26 with the Superior Court of San Mateo County, Calif.

Ze’ev Drori, former head of auto security systems company Clifford Electronics, took over for Eberhard in 2007 and was succeeded by Musk in 2008 (see Eberhard out, Drori in at Tesla)
