A U.S. judge has ruled that Tesla must face a lawsuit alleging anti-American bias in its hiring practices, allowing a software engineer’s proposed class action to proceed. The lawsuit claims Tesla discriminates against American citizens to hire foreign workers at lower pay, particularly H-1B visa holders. While allowing the case to move forward based on a recruiter’s comment, the judge expressed skepticism about the strength of the overall evidence presented so far.
