May 15 (Reuters) - The day before Elon Musk fired virtually all of Tesla’s electric-vehicle charging division last month, they had high hopes as charging chief Rebecca Tinucci went to meet with Musk about the network’s future, four former charging-network staffers told Reuters.

After Tinucci had cut between 15% and 20% of staffers two weeks earlier, part of much wider layoffs, they believed Musk would affirm plans for a massive charging-network expansion.

The meeting could not have gone worse. Musk, the employees said, was not pleased with Tinucci’s presentation and wanted more layoffs. When she balked, saying deeper cuts would undermine charging-business fundamentals, he responded by firing her and her entire 500-member team.

This dude was moderately holding it together before, but he’s not stable now. He throws tantrums and makes completely impulsive decisions that are not grounded in data. The board needs to push him out.

Yes...or... give him a $56B raise. You know, whichever.

What if it was a $56B goodbye package? Would you find that acceptable?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Depends on what you mean by goodbye. Resigning from Tesla? No. Leaving the planet? I might get on board with that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not when that package is more than what the company makes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

It’s in stock, not cash

Kinda weird seeing what Steve Jobs would have eventually become, had he treated his cancer.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

It's his fault for not greenlighting iChemo earlier.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Read his authorized biography he was basically already there.

I feel like Howard Hughes might closer to the path Musk is on.

That guy is going to be collecting piss jars in a decade.
