Tesla has been ordered by a federal jury to pay more than $100 million to a black former worker who claims he was subjected to a “racially hostile” work environment which the company failed to protect him from, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Owen Diaz worked as an elevator operator at Tesla’s Fremont, California factory for nine months from June 2015 to March 2016.
