ROFLMAO! The Muskbrat is going to try to hire back his Supercharger team!

GEE, PERHAPS FIRING ALL OF THEM WAS A BAD IDEA! WHOULD'A THUNK IT!

He's also "committed" (and should be!) half a billion dollars to expanding the Supercharger network.

A lot of the reason for sacking the entire division came from him getting PO'd at the division manager, Rebecca Tinucci, not sacking enough division people. So he fired Tinucci and the entire division.

My question is: how many will be willing to come back under such a mercurial CEO, and how much of a raise will they demand for being treated so capriciously?

A couple of things the article discusses that I did not know is that in '19 he decided to close ALL retail locations to pay for a cheaper Model 3. When it turned out he was going to get the crap sued out of him for breaking so many retail leases, he reversed that decision. Also, apparently plans are going into effect for super-Supercharger stations for charging Porsches and Audis which require more voltage for their batteries.

I certainly hope that everyone who comes back to this gets at the least a raise and protection against being mercurially fired again. And that Musk finds someone to run that division who will tell him what a fool he is regularly as part of the contract, so that that person can't be fired for saying so.
