Musk’s abrupt firing of the team initially seemed like a display of power—a way to assert control and show he could make tough decisions in the face of investor pressure.
A display of power is NOT caving to investor pressure and instead doing what is best for the company. This was a display of weakness.
Anyone who came back to work for him is an idiot.
I’d ask for the salary from the time I was unemployed up front and a contract that guarantees my job on a yearly basis. Elon would never admit to caving to demands, but his yes-men in hiring would never tell him anyway.
The whole saga of this shit is just super baffling. It was clearly a well-functioning department that essentially established what has become the national standard EV port… and he fires the team that owns it. Like… wat.

I assumed he threw a tantrum because someone told him “no”. Whether he came to his senses or some huge investor made him come to his senses, I have no idea
It was gasp a woman.
They just finished building 20 or so chargers in a parking lot by my house when the fucking idiot fired the team. I joked that I guess those chargers were never going to come online.
But I was right. They still aren’t enabled yet.
I bet charging competitors were super grateful for his blunder.
Much efficiency, such genius.
