@arstechnica Maybe Mr Musk will realize tha insulting the "Coastal Elites" who buy the majority of your vehicles, and calling them evil, may not be the best marketing strategy.

Next up SpaceX where EM will lay off the entire Falcon 9 team.

@arstechnica Why not create a new company for the superchargers and spin off, say, half of the shares in an IPO? Seems like a big missed opportunity.

@arstechnica behold, the big genius has had another idea. The market is slow to figure out that they've bet on a hyped loser, but it'll figure it out eventually. "Reduce headcount" is a popular move among the Wall Street set, but also indicates short-sighted desperation. Nothing left to do but cut costs and ride the corpse down slowly.

@arstechnica I wonder if he'd be reckless enough to sell the supercharger network

@arstechnica this resembles what Elon did to Twitter. The man is a wrecking ball. He needs an intervention.

@arstechnica I'm really bummed how quickly this is going south. Honestly the only thing that seemed to be saving the US charger network was Tesla's superchargers. And given how US electric cars were going down the path of using the Tesla charger, this is not going to go well.

I'm worried this will set back EV adoption in the US even longer.

@arstechnica Instead of restoring his ridiculous and obviously unearned bonus the courts invalidated, maybe the stockholders need to find a new CEO?

@arstechnica anyone who bought stock after Musk talked about new low cost models should be eating some crow in light of this news

@arstechnica Musk unmasked himself as being an unhinged fascist, got called out, and is taking it out on the people who actually did the work needed to build up his companies. Which is predictable for any fascist in a position of power.

@arstechnica I recall reading some time ago that Tesla and SpaceX managed to do well despite theirCEO was because the companies actual operations were mostly kept out of Elon's daily control. Looks like Elon's not having any of that anymore!

Here comes the X-ing of Tesla!
