Musk Probed On Using Tesla Cash For Glass House

Tesla may have investigated CEO Elon Musk over possible improprieties as Wall Street Journal's sources claim the EV maker's board launched an inquiry over concerns Musk might be using company funds to build a house near the Austin-area Gigafactory, Jon Fingas reported for Engadget.

Nicknamed "Project 42," the initiative is believed to involve a purchase of millions of dollars in special glass — large enough that it drew attention from employees last year. Limited liability firms linked to Musk and executives are also known to have bought large volumes of land in the area.

Concepts for the house included either a "twisted hexagon" or a glass cube reminiscent of Apple's 5th Avenue store.

The structure included bedrooms, bathrooms, and a kitchen, the tipsters said. The status and result of the investigation are not known as Tesla disbanded its PR department years ago.

However, the board wanted to learn if Musk was involved and whether worker time had been used. Bloomberg learned of the glass order last year but did not know about the board or the nature of Project 42.

Musk is no stranger to legal entanglements. He's still embroiled in a fight with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over tweeting financial data and survived a defamation case from British cave explorer Vernon Unsworth over unsubstantiated "pedo guy" accusations.

Today, the egomaniacal Musk “wants” a cage fight with Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, who promptly accepted.
