A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Ford and GM are probably regretting that switch to NACS...

Jesus when are stockholders going to realize what he's like at the helm and kick him out of CEO? This is the first thing I've heard about Musk doing anything with Tesla since Twitter happened. How do stockholders trust this man. Throwing away everything about him, this is an absent CEO who learned about one project that everyone was watching, he comes in, kicks down the door, and first response is to fire the whole team. To me, that says "this company is a shitshow"

There is one stockholder that has tried multiple times. The issue is the whole Tesla board are all his cronies, and a large portion of stockholders have bought into the cult of personality

It's amazing that someone with such a garbage personality has a cult of personality.

It’s the confidence with which he sprouts his nonsense. People flock to confident personalities, because they must know a lot of things (presumably).

I really want to see the email/message exchange preceding some of these changes at twitter/Tesla.

Is there any pushback/discussion any more, or does Elon just say jump and entire departments vanish?

There are rumors that this was an emotional decision from muskrat, and they will probably be offered their jobs back. Just rumors, but still would not be surprising

Who would take them? I mean, I guess you gotta get paid, but when someone demonstrated that they can just drop you with zero warning, trust is negative at that point.

I’d rejoin for double the wage I previously had. Need to build up an emergency fund for this precarious position.

One article I read said he likes to fire whole teams and then see which people are asked about. Those are the ones he rehires. If nobody misses you then you were doing a job of value.

From a human level, this is just shitty. It isn't the way to treat people.

That’s not how research & development works. Nobody asks for a specific person there. Stuff just doesn’t get done.

What's the top left car for? Hauling crocodiles in a Florida' swamp?
