This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
No executive deserves the kind of money and power he is demanding. The workers deserve it. Executive positions must become democratically elected from within the workforce, exclusively, modestly compensated, with checks and balances, for limited terms representing the company workforce.
This is our world he's fucking with.
I haven’t seen anyone actually describe what this “team” is.
Tesla’s PR teams said that they’re still expanding the network, but at a slower pace. If that’s the case, I assume this mostly guts the product and program management folks, and the goal is to consolidate this department with a related department.
Does anyone actually have details about the full scope of layoffs and the scope of who remains?
From up thread if you haven't seen it:
Internally employees left at Tesla are calling this the "Snap". My friend was building over 10 new sites and breaking ground on 3 others. Contractors are getting fucked and have no one to contact. Overnight 100's of sites with 100's of contractors, design companies and suppliers working on them are just in limbo with not a single person from Tesla reaching out to them and their contact laid off. Lots of layoffs are going to be tied to this.
Not only does this affect the building of new sites there's now not a single employee that can perform maintenance at any of these locations.
Is there any other reference? Hard to trust a random Lemmy comment
"Two sources told Electrek that Tinucci was fighting back pressure from Musk to fire a bigger percentage of her team, and the CEO decided to let go of the entire team as an example."

Thanks, kinda funny the writer put their own tweet embed in the article.
To the surprise of literally no one.
There are two things Tesla and Elon has done well. Making EVs mainstream and cool. And the super charger network. Everything else. Bleh
