Tesla

A former Tesla Inc. employee portrayed by Elon Musk as a saboteur has filed a whistle-blower tip with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alleging the company made misstatements and omissions to investors.

The electric-car maker's corporate controller has left, the latest in a string of management exits.

The push by Tesla Inc., General Motors Co. and other carmakers to boost sales of electric vehicles was dealt a blow by House Republicans who on Thursday proposed eliminating a $7,500 per vehicle tax credit that has helped stoke early demand.
