Former Chief Executive Martin Eberhard dropped his lawsuit accusing current CEO Elon Musk of slander, libel and other claims. Eberhard had charged Musk with unfairly blaming him for the company's well-documented missteps and with wrongly claiming to be a company founder.

 

Eberhard launched Tesla in 2003, and Musk joined the company the following year as majority investor.

 

The company announced the settlement Monday. Neither side disclosed settlement details.

 

However, in a prepared statement, Eberhard referred to Musk as a "co-founder." For his part, Musk says Eberhard was "indispensable" in the company's creation.
