Tesla Motor Club (2008-2013)

Tesla Motor Club (2008-2013)
Palpatine aka @WallStreetSilv

Morrison's obsession of Elon started very early as he is an EV / Tesla early adopter that seemly had insider access to key persons of Tesla from the beginning.

These messages were recovered from archives of the Tesla Motor Club forums:

The first appearance of Morrison on the forum is responding to a post entitled "Tesla Motors only $9 million in bank?" on Oct 31, 2008.

His very next comment in November would be shilling his own website 'Peak Oil Garage', which featured an article copied from "AutoBlogGreen.com" celebrating a delivery of a roadster to director Chris Paine who create Revenge of the Electric Car.

Another comment made soon later provides the detail Morrison was active member of the Seattle Club within the greater Tesla Motor Club community.

He mentions a month later that he's going to be flying to San Francisco in January (2009) on business and he's using the opportunity to see Tesla cars in person.

Morrison further shares information about the vehicles he owned at the time. These were hyperlinked back to relevant pages on his website.
['my goal' , 'Vetrix' , 'Hymotion Prius']

Here we find that Morrison claims to have attended a meeting in Seattle where he asked Darryl Siry (Tesla senior vice president of global marketing and sales) a question. This would be just before he resigns from Tesla.

Shares link of Washington Post article about US govt funding SpaceX.

Palpatine <3 Tesla

Morrison admits height:

Morrison follows through and travels to California and also starts signing his posts by James.

Goes on an additional test drive the day and supposedly receives insider information.

Morrison talks about batteries.

Darryl Siry responds to Morrison on the forums.

"I am basically a Tesla Motors and Elon Musk fan and I want to see them be hugely successful."

Feb 2009 - posts invite to Wayland Invitational IV which is an electric car drag racing event.

James confirms he will be at the event.

James claims to have a connection to former Tesla board member, Rachael Konrad.

James says the victors get to write history and Elon is very good at it.

Need some Roadster porn 👅

James says the if Tesla goes bankrupt, those that preordered would be treated as unsecured creditors. This seems important (for later).

Morrison celebrates gay marriage of Tesla enthusiasts, although it could be satirical.


July 4, 2009 - Morrison with Martin Eberhard (Co-Founder of Tesla) - uh oh...


Sep 2009 - Morrison starts shilling aftermarket Tesla products from his company evcomponents.com on the forum. [EV Components will have its own section later.]

In this same thread he admits to driving his Tesla without a license plate.

*This behavior is suspected to persist to this day. Morrison appears to have been spotted by a random onlooker who posted the pictures on Reddit in 2021.

Further proof shown here where Palpatine signs his name James Morrison.


Morrison makes a post to share a Twitter account with 18k followers which has been mentioned a few times in the news. odd – Is this Morrisons own account?


In October 2013, things start taking a dark turn. Morrison hides a pornographic link into his comment, is discovered and gets reported to moderators.

This incident would lead to Morrison being banned from the site and Morrison would personally blamed Bonnie for the ban and contacted her on Facebook.

The following is that exact exchange:

This would be the beginning of the hateful campaign against Bonnie and her co-workers of Intel-GE Care Innovations, resulting in a civil lawsuit and restraining orders being brought against him.
