[Seattle]

I wish we could stop pretending that maybe there is some tortorous rationale for firing the whole team, panicing their nacs partners and the 100s of companies that were working with tesla on superchargers, sinking your company morale?

Whether it's saving money for AI (which is he almost daily threatens to take it away to one of his other companies (Elon Musk confirms his threat: give me 25% of Tesla or you don't get AI and robotics)), there's just nothing visible. Multiple destructive actions where sometimes through some accident and was unpredictable at the start does not mean genius. It means just point to the things that work and ignore those that don't.

I just want to move past this to recovery and damage impact discussions.

If Tesla invested in people and technology, he can not just take it away and walk away for free without any financial and legal obligations. That is his reality.
