I can't imagine anyone that has decent prospects would agree to go back to Tesla after getting canned with those kinds of wild swings in decision making.

On actually developed countries there are laws that force employers to wait a year before they re-hire laid off employees. They can re-hire early but they have to pay a lot of money to the employee and an additional labor tariff in taxes. Precisely to avoid this kind of fuckery.

They should just start their own Supercharger company... With blackjack and hookers

I suspect that somebody's smart, with a lot of money and not a lot of scruples (not that it's a factor here, I just hate rich people) is going to scoop them all up and either try to replace the standard, or if Elon is lucky, license it and leave the standard alone. Elon's not that smart though so he probably wouldn't agree to it.

They wouldn't even need to license it, part of getting the other car manufacturers to switch to NACS was establishing it as an open standard. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Charging_Standard

Just when you thought this couldn't get any more stupid.

(At the time of the layoffs, Electrek reported that Musk got rid of the entire team because its Tinucci did not lay off enough workers on her own.)

This single anecdote tells you just about everything you need to know about how Elon Musk approaches any kind of interpersonal interaction. His emotional IQ is non-existent.

Were they trying to start a union or something?

This is just getting stupid now. It seems Elon has totally lost his mind.

he's the 'ceo' of like 6 companies. Its clear he's spending all his time giving neonazis handjobs on xitter

Should just start referring to them as part time jobs. How much work can they be if he's supposedly doing multiple at once?
