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.
And yet this twit is held up as an icon of management.
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.
