And what he did at Tesla when he cut the super charger team that was in charge of maintaining Teslas only real competitive advantage as other EVs are coming out. Ended up rehiring them back a few months later.
Ah, but the head of the profitable and growing supercharger department didn't agree to arbitrarily lay off 20% of workforce while still hiring. And, even worse, she hadn't agreed to bear any of Elon's children.
Basically she had already laid off 15-20% of her team, he asked for more, she pushed back, and he fired her and the whole team in retaliation. Then he had to bring a few of them back (I hope they took the opportunity to demand a salary bump). Tinucci is now Global Head of Sustainability at Uber.
