What a shit show. Musk is a fucking clown shoe. Gifted with wealth and great opportunities, but wastes it on petty bullshit like this.
Not quite. Tesla is just the vessel through which Musk enriches himself. Everyone is disposable in the end. The dumbest thing is that there’s still people who still thinks otherwise.
If you think Musk’s goal is cash, you’ve been asleep and missed the whole point, his goal is power. Period.
Power, and stroking his own ego in every way he can.
He’s a toxic, narcissistic, petulant man-child who massively over-estimates his own abilities and intelligence.
Now if only there existed a system that we could use in which the people actually doing the work could dictate the direction of a business instead of 1/3 to half of their lives being dominated by absolute tyrants.
Just throwing out ideas.
but this isn’t REAL CAPITALISM it’s CRONY CAPITALISM. the solution is MORE CAPITALISM.
As mentioned in the article, now Tesla is scrambling to rehire them. I am curious how many will come back, how much of a premium they will want, and how many will stay long term. It makes sense to take the offer (especially if it comes with a better salary), wait for your former colleagues to find jobs, get some feedback from them about companies, and then jump ship.
If they wanted to rehire me, I would demand a golden parachute. No fucking way would I go back and risk it happening all over again.
Thats going to be every single one of them.
Musk really fucked around here.
The problem is, I doubt he’ll actually find out
For a guy who lost in court a payout of 50 Billions in compensation from Tesla, blocked by shareholders and a drop in value of Twitter’s acquisition of 20 Billions more, sounds like numbers on a screen, but these are really life changing amounts, even for him.
So yes, he’s kinda finding out.
Go back while looking for a
betterdifferent job.
i mean stop working for these people
don’t apply for their jobs, don’t buy their awful products, don’t support them in any way
this is not the direction society needs to go
Some folks don’t know how to treat themselves kindly so they instead look for the biggest number and think it will bring happiness.
You’ve got a CEO who has a net worth of $200 billion and is demanding more massive bonuses to himself and at the same time he’s killing jobs.
I can’t believe there’s people that want to invest in companies that behave this way.
As if it weren’t bad enough that people choose to invest in such companies, you have large numbers of people convinced that Musk is tech Jesus, come to save the world from all its problems with his superior intellect.
His fanboys see him as Tony Stark but everyone else is waking up to the fact that he’s not even a Justin Hammer.
At least Justin Hammer had charisma.
I can’t see Justin Hammer being distracted into buying a social media company for $44 billion either.
‘distracted’? You mean hoisted by his own petard?
He’s also a washed out druggie.
“The ensuing backlash might have been crucial in changing Musk’s mind. The Tesla chief moved quickly to assuage concerns, and assured investors that Tesla’s Supercharger network isn’t going anywhere.”
In order to write those words as a professional journalist you’ve got to be the lowest form of lickspittle.
“Arsonist moved quickly to assuage concerns, after burning down a block of houses, by personally nailing up a board covering a gaping hole, and assured Firefighters and the local community, everything is AOK now”
I almost admire a guy who is so dedicated to not being crossed that he will nosedive his own company into the ground to avoid it.
Almost.
Petty man children do not deserve respect.
I said almost.
Almost means that it was close, but it shouldn’t even be in the same zip code.
Oh my god, lighten up. Do you seriously think I meant it?
Almost
The devision chief should start their own supercharger company, with all the people under them. NACS is an open patent now, right? Turn it into a proper open standard, instead of “one company did this thing, then lobbied the government to force it in” Plus, would give more people more options, which is always good.
Man if I were a competing EV company or charging network, now would be a really good time to get some of the best talent there is. The supercharger network is objectively good, and now the people who actually made it good are imminently hireable.
Man sometimes I wish I could be as box of rocks stupid as musk and still make money.
Man if I were a competing EV company or charging network, now would be a really good time to get some of the best talent there is.
This is one of the core problems. Besides Rivian there ARE NO other EV companies that are building their own charging network. And Rivian isn’t really doing massive rollouts of its “Adventure” charging network like Tesla is/was.
The other companies running charging networks exclusively have different motivations and approaches. None of them are swimming in money needed to build out like Tesla Supercharging was. These charging only company’s only revenue stream is charging fees, which is not really much yet because EV penetration is still fairly low.
Agreed but a lot of charging networks really could hire some talent out of Tesla just to work on their UI and other uptime measures. Even if they don’t deploy more stations, just getting their existing stations running well would be such a coup. Once folks have the reliability of Tesla chargers at all other chargers, it’s really quite impressive how many chargers we have already.
If the division chief had agreed to let go of some staff … instead hired a few janitors and fired all the janitors, that way he can say with clean hands he fired his workers.
Instead of reading the room that ELongated Muskrat is a Billionaire Crybaby … just give him something that gets his object permanence something to stare at until the rattle pulls him into totally different direction.
Now the division is all gone without even an afterthought.
People who lead should know and keep their priorities straight and not get everyone fired on “principles”.
