Yeah, not when an employee downloads all of your source code and then goes to that competitor, and said competitor defends you! - that's more like industrial espionage.
If I steal your car, but don't use it, would you feel responsible to protect my reputation? Come on man.
Elon's done some fucked up things, but this ain't one of them - when a company knowingly hires and protects an IP thief, they deserve reputational damage.
What would your company do (present or past) if they found out you stole IP from a previous employer? Defend you or fire you?
