According to a document filed in federal court today, Tesla’s creator and CEO Elon Musk has lost one of the company’s leading in-house litigators.
The shift in personnel comes after a letter from Musk’s legal team was leaked to the New York Post last week. The email was described in the newspaper as “a nasty missive.”
The outgoing attorney, Adam Gabor Mehes, has moved for leave to remove counsel in Musk’s $258 billion lawsuit involving an alleged Dogecoin (DOGE) market manipulation issue.
The Manhattan attorney had been on board for just over a year, actively participating in a wide range of legal matters in which the former CEO of Twitter was involved.
