Texas attorney under fire for racist comment on abandoned Tesla engineer's LinkedIn post

June 1, 2021Updated: June 1, 2021 4:10 p.m. Charlie Liu quit his old job after he received and signed an offer letter to work at Tesla earlier this year. But due to an odd string of events Liu recounted after his hiring — which began with a delayed start date and ended with the company telling him “that the position was no longer needed” — he said he was left out in the cold and out of a job. He took his experience with Tesla to LinkedIn, where his tale received more than 50,000 reactions and 3,000 comments within a week of sharing. “How can a company, especially one as large as Tesla, play with our lives like this?” he said in the post. “If anyone from Tesla wants to reach out and tell me how in the world this is ethical, I would love to hear it.” But one comment on the post has elicited criticism on social media. Karan Joshi, an attorney for the Texas-based personal injury law firm Thomas J. Henry Law, commented: “Hey charlie, the Wuhan Lab may have an opening,” Joshi commented, “good luck.” @hutravelstheworld #greenscreen I hate LinkedIn #racism #spotlightapi #stopasianhate #sinophobia #linkedin ♬ original…
