It's not over yet. - Tesla is still laying off staff. "Electrek has learned that Musk also gutted Tesla´s cathode material manufacturing team in Texas.
"It started with Anthony Thurston, Senior Manager, Cathode Materials & Manufacturing at Tesla, earlier this month [sic], but Electrek has learned that Musk has now let go of most of the team.. [...] "Several sources confirmed that there are rumors around Tesla that the vehicle engineering and design departments are next. [...] "Tesla has already backed out of leases for new Supercharger stations." https://electrek.co/2024/05/01/elon-musk-throwing-weight-tesla-wrecking- ball/ or https://v.gd/97KZlV ----- A little wild spitballing here. Please note that I have absolutely NO notion that this is correct. I'm just looking at what's happening and speculating. Feel free to counter / correct as you will. During the April Tesla investors' call, Musk said, "We should be thought of as an AI robotics company." What if he's cutting EV design, manufacturing, and charging, so Tesla can put more resources into AI and robotics? I can even (really wild speculation here) imagine Tesla selling all or part of their EV manufacturing and charging businesses to another automaker, to raise still more cash for developing AI and robotics. Again, total speculation - but that's the kind of crazy all-or-nothing bet that Musk is (in)famous for, no?
