Ford and GM are probably regretting that switch to NACS…
Jesus when are stockholders going to realize what he’s like at the helm and kick him out of CEO? This is the first thing I’ve heard about Musk doing anything with Tesla since Twitter happened. How do stockholders trust this man. Throwing away everything about him, this is an absent CEO who learned about one project that everyone was watching, he comes in, kicks down the door, and first response is to fire the whole team. To me, that says “this company is a shitshow”
There is one stockholder that has tried multiple times. The issue is the whole Tesla board are all his cronies, and a large portion of stockholders have bought into the cult of personality
It’s amazing that someone with such a garbage personality has a cult of personality.
Before his Twitter addiction it was much easier to think of him as a rich genius like you see in comic books, mostly since nobody knew what he was thinking. He’s also managed a celebrity-like persona that someone like robot Mark Zuckerberg could never pull off. That and money will always get hangers on.
not only the board won’t fire him, but probably would even vote towards approving that bonus he’s craving
I really want to see the email/message exchange preceding some of these changes at twitter/Tesla.
Is there any pushback/discussion any more, or does Elon just say jump and entire departments vanish?
There are rumors that this was an emotional decision from muskrat, and they will probably be offered their jobs back. Just rumors, but still would not be surprising
Who would take them? I mean, I guess you gotta get paid, but when someone demonstrated that they can just drop you with zero warning, trust is negative at that point.
Oh I agree. There have to be rival companies looking for that exact experience right now. They should not have too much trouble being hired on one of the myriad charging companies out there
Especially since the other companies were planning to support the Tesla network…
One article I read said he likes to fire whole teams and then see which people are asked about. Those are the ones he rehires. If nobody misses you then you were doing a job of value.
From a human level, this is just shitty. It isn’t the way to treat people.
He sees his employees like slaves as his parents did
Could be supervillain problems 🤣 comments about wishing someone would go away and an underling resolves it’s in a more permanent way …
Probably not, it’s just that his entire exec team are spineless henchman.
I think the spacex team is still independent (ish) for now, I fear for them though!
Well, the exact rumor is he did it to show that he is serious about staffing cuts and that no team is safe, and just made an arbitrary decision
With that kind of leadership we should be thankful he can’t run for president, or he’d end up voted in.
Rumors or wishful thinking, I wonder
Ford and GM are probably regretting that switch to NACS…
Why? For one, Ford has scaled back it’s EV transition in favor of hybrids now, and two, there’s now a bunch of engineers looking for a job and charging sites up for grabs
That’s true, a lot of talent now available.
Last I heard Ford scaled back EV expansion because they overestimated adoption based on the sales of the Lightning, but they were still planning on an increase in production. Just not the 50% estimate they started with.
Not to mention, it’s a standard now, and the old Supercharger protocol is being phased out in favor of another standardized one (I forget which). Further development done on their chargers from here on out is going to be done by a consortium of companies rather than in-house anyway.
Make the Maverick a plug in hybrid already!
This team will hopefully find jobs elsewhere very easily. Competitors should take this opportunity to hire skilled workers.
Any H1B visa hostage can pick up someone else’s work on xitter for slave hours, but for cars you need experience, talent and know how. If you fire a whole team to save $x, then you gotta pay $5x to rebuild that team when you eventually need it. (Tesla probably needs a team to develop new models, eventually. Same for the policy team, useful to launch the auto taxi when it exits from beta in 2045
- Tesla doesn’t get included in the latest Electric Vehicle Charging disbursement subsidies
- Tesla fires entire charger team, causing fear and panic, knowing most majors have decided to switch to NACS
that’s it, that’s the whole toot
He really wants that 56 billion bonus huh?
government should either nationalise teslas network or work with other companies to switch to a new standard
