Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he will begin stepping away from his duties at the so-called “department of government efficiency” starting in May. The announcement
Eh, I know nuanced viewpoints around billionaires aren’t appreciated on the corporate web, let alone the fediverse, but I really don’t think it’s as simple as that. Why did Tesla succeed where other EV companies failed or floundered? And why did Tesla, the company behind the ultra-desirable Model S and its peers, produce the unsellable Cybertruck and fire the entire Supercharger team?
CEOs set the direction and drive the company to deliver on that. And Musk has lost it - from 95% genius and 5% mad to 95% and 5% genius. I honestly feel sorry for him in many ways - which I fully appreciate is a lot easier to say as a non-American right now! He will probably never again know true love or be considered an inspiration to the smart people he seems drawn to. He’s thrown his lot in with a bunch of bastards who would gladly tear down everything he’s built up. I am 100% confident that I will live a happier and more fulfilling life than him, as poor and stressed as I am. Poor sod.
As the edgelord he is, I hope he’ll appreciate his inevitable future epitaph: “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
There was no 95% genius, he was just a salesman convincing investors that the product line he bought out was going gangbusters. He was right, but he didn’t design the things, he just sold them.
Tesla succeeded because it was founded by and operated by talented people. Tesla is failing because it was acquired by and increasingly controlled by an idiotic narcissist who can’t handle being told “no.”
“Full self driving next year! No? Next year then! No lidar, only cameras! “Crunch” style development! Bulletproof glass! Vegas hyperloop! Stainless steel! Micrometer tolerances!” Everything Tesla did on its own was pretty solid. Everything Musk contributed to design and process was complete and utter shit.
Growth for the sake of growth is the mantra of the cancer cell.
Elon has killed them at company. If when he bought into it, did a little marketing and then backed off and let qualified people design the cars and run the company, Tesla would still be a viable company. Where do they go now? The Cybertruck is a flop on the same scale as the DeLorean, the CEO is a straight up Nazi and Putin collaborator, and they can’t get rid of him or it will kill the company. The choice is either a slow death from keeping Elon, or a quick one from firing him.
Or they can hire me. I can fix it, or at least not do any worse.
Because the two engineers who actually created Tesla made a good product and musky boy immediately snapped it up and made sure to maximize the milking of the ev tax credit system, he’s been fucking it up regularly ever since.
The reason it sucks now is obvious, the people who are good are gone, and musky boy wasn’t one of them.
You treat these parasites as if they are some extraordinary phenomena, they are not. They are humans that shit just like you, sometimes liquid diarrhea. They are by and large not amazing, genius, or even particularly hard working people, they are just lucky chodes who got to start with their dad’s giving them money from their family apartheid emerald mine (and then stealing emeralds anyway).

Lol that’s not nuance, that’s just fantasy.
