Tesla, a dictatorship that doesn’t say its name?

On Tuesday, April 30, 2024, Elon Musk ordered the dismissal of the entire Tesla team responsible for Superchargers without any further consultation.

What image is Elon Musk projecting of his automotive dream Tesla? Distrust grows a little more each day towards the brutal decisions devoid of discernment made by the CEO and primary shareholder of the electric vehicle manufacturer.

Like a despot, Elon Musk made the sudden decision on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, to fire the 500 employees responsible for managing the electric vehicle charging operations at Tesla. This action took competitors by surprise as they prepare their new electric models to be compatible with the Tesla Supercharger network.

Elon Musk is now seeking to denounce past agreements with manufacturers like Ford or General Motors that allowed their cars to charge on his network. It must be said that Tesla customers want to maintain the idea of a club where other, outside customers do not come to occupy their charging stations.

Rebecca Tinucci, director of this highly profitable sector for Tesla, along with nearly all of her team, cast doubt on the New York Stock Exchange where, once again, Tesla gives the impression of navigating without a clear plan. The Tesla stock is naturally trending downward because, at the same time, no announcements from China have officially been made regarding the export of data related to autonomous driving to the United States.

The necessity to cut costs?

Tesla has made no comment, but the American manufacturer is required to reduce its structural costs. It had announced, at the beginning of April 2024, that it would have to lay off 10% of its global workforce in response to a decline in global sales.

Finally, rumors about Elon Musk’s potential departure, fueled by investment funds that are growing weary of the South African oligarch’s methods, continue to grow. Should we see this decision to fire an entire department without distinguishing responsible individuals, with the dramatic consequences for families, as a final act of authority before a removal from position? Anything is plausible.
