Tesla faces a brain leak. Several important executives have left the company in recent months, such as Daniel Ho, who supervised new vehicles, or Vineet Mehta, an important battery specialist, says Financial Times. Some employees point to Elon Musk. “The only constant in Elon’s universe is the speed at which he exhausts his attendees,” slides one of his advisors to financial newspapers.
If the work rate has always been intense in the group, these employees report degradation in recent months, particularly due to their boss’s political commitment. Few are those who speak publicly, even if a manager recently moved to LinkedIn, after his resignation.
“I think Elon has seriously harmed the mission of Tesla (and the health of democratic institutions in several countries). It is not just a matter of politics: it is a matter of lying to the public, manipulating the public debate, addressing minorities and supporting climate climate and political forces close to the oil and gas industry,”
“Obsession” for chatgpt
The employees interviewed by the Financial Times also complain about Elon Musk’s obsession with Operai, their competitor in artificial intelligence. “Elon is angry at Chatgpt and spends every moment trying to put Sam (Altman, an editor’s note) out of service,” creates a renunciator frame.
After having founded Openai together, the two billionaires became rivals, while Musk launched Xai (Grok), where his pressures to make the algorithm “less wake up” is not unanimous either.
Tesla, the group’s flagship, has disconnected to strengthen activities in AI and robotics. 14,000 positions were eliminated last April. Elon Musk has also stopped producing an affordable price -25,000 dollars, to focus on taxi robots.
However, “Model 2” was considered necessary by certain analysts to increase the production of the car manufacturer and reach the objective of 20 million Tesla delivered by 2030. However, the arrival was promised, at the end of the year, of a more affordable version of the “model and”.
Some observers also believe that Elon Musk’s positions weigh in Las Sales de Tesla and their resale value. “It is a great product, but the brand’s image has received a great blow due to Elon Musk. Due to its getaways, we will undergo a major discount,” an owner had trouble selling his car in the second -time market at the end of June.
In spite of everything, Tesla has just registered in the third quarter of deliveries by 7% for a year, at a significantly higher level than the expectations, the sign of a recovery after three consecutive retreat quarters.
This performance can be nuanced for the disappearance, at the end of September, of the Federal Credit of 7,500 dollars the purchase of an electric car in the United States. In this context, the Net Heritage of the Chief of Tesla and Space X briefly exceeded $ 500 billion, this Wednesday, October 1, according to the classification of Forbes magazine.
