    Always remember…layoffs come in 2 waves. The first wave is involuntary. The second wave is voluntary, as the people with talent see the handwriting on the wall and jump ship.

        He probably thinks his robots can do all the work, another thing prophesied by The Simpsons.

      Literally what he did with the cars. “If we don’t put good technology in them we don’t have to pay for anything!”.

      Same with Twitter.

      At this point I think Elon might know more about management than anyone currently alive on Earth!

      the cancellation of the model 2 for the cybertruck may have been the worst possible decision tesla went through maybe.

                It’s just… incredibly dumb. Because the problem is not the optics. The problem is making a control system that more or less replicates a “normal” human response pattern, but then got regulated and litigated to hell and back, plus some helpful navigation suggestions based on correlation of user location data to advertising partners in partner-defined geographic and social media and demographic targeting nets, plus the fucking legion of weird edge case bugs that have probably crept in at some point in the process.

                At the same time, every once in a while, one should pause and consider how important it is to always look on the bright side of life

            But we don’t need LIDAR! Humans don’t have lidar, and they can drive! All you need to do is replicate millions of years of evolution in a few years and you’re done!

      The bubble is bursting.

      Competition caught up with Tesla’s lead while Elon was too busy with his many side projects while somehow also micro-managing the company to death (e.g. Cybertruck).

      He should have focused on scaling up manufacturing and driving the price per car down. But no, he had to chase the self-driving pipedream, launch a ridiculous pickup truck, and wreck the “genius” person he had built to replace with an alt-right one.

        Pretty much this. Elon was never interested in what he SHOULD HAVE BEEN: making an inexpensive electric vehicle that’s widely available. Tesla had the tech to do so, but they were being driven to make insane decisions like moving the gearshift to a touchscreen (gee, I love taking my eyes off the road to shift gears), or making “futuristic” doors that actually cannot physically open from the inside (whoops, guess those just can’t be recalled since DOT has literally no teeth).

        Protecting the company bottom line is hard when you are bleeding employees and you can’t even replace them

        The question is whether she resigned or was fired as well. Her job was to protect the company, which includes not firing productive staff.
