Tesla's stock dropped by more than 10% on Friday, owing to concerns that the alleged sexual misconduct and Musk's political comments could harm the company's reputation and sales.

Why is Tesla looking for litigation lawyers?

Tesla is forming a new team to focus on the "Litigation Department," which will mostly deal with lawsuits and cases filed against the corporation.

The new team will also file cases against other firms and entities that Tesla may fight and act against in the future.

Elon Musk announced that he is now hiring for this new department, and that he is looking for "hardcore streetfighters" to join the team.

Tesla is establishing a new department, according to Elon Musk, that will help the corporation obtain the upper hand in various scenarios and expand on them for their purposes.

Musk's decision to form a legal team comes only days after news surfaced that he had resolved a sexual misconduct claim for $250,000.

In a published allegation, Musk allegedly exposed himself to a flight attendant on a SpaceX-owned private jet and propositioned her. However, the claimed event took place on a private plane owned by Musk's aerospace company in 2016.

According to Business Insider, the flight attendant's hours were cut and her schedule was lowered following the incident, citing a declaration made by a friend of the flight attendant in support of her claim against the company.

Tesla has a large legal staff, which includes litigation lawyers, but it also hires outside firms for larger matters.

The corporation has always been involved in a variety of legal matters, but it has recently been involved in a number of high-profile lawsuits, including a racial discrimination action that resulted in a $137 million award that was ultimately reduced to $15 million.

After the news emerged on May 19, Musk sent out the following tweet, calling for lawyers to join Tesla's new legal team. He made no mention of the sexual harassment case in any of his tweets.

In his Twitter rants, Musk also stated that he is looking for "hardcore streetfighters, not white-shoe lawyers."

Twitterati mocked his previous decisions or pointed to incidents where Tesla may be sued. However, Musk has not publicly responded to any of the responses to his tweets.
