That’s not the story, in the headline, just the sourcing, which is typical Internet friend of a friend of a friend told me.
Here are the links

I’m posting this as an open thread, because I can’t really speak on this topic with any weight. I have a great deal of sympathy for the people who are about to be laid off, or perhaps already have been, because I’ve seen this in my own former industry and it’s always brutal.
Quote from Wonkette author Doktor Zoom: the layoffs will affect
three entire groups that seem fairly important for running an electric car company:
-
Senior director of EV charging Rebecca Tinucci, as well as the entire team — more than 500 people — working on Tesla’s widely respected Supercharger fast-charging network;
-
Daniel Ho, head of new vehicle development and his entire team, too;
-
And hey, why not, the company’s entire public policy team got the axe as well.
I did a search on Musk and on Tesla and found no standalone articles, so thought I’d post this. I won’t be tending it, this was supposed to be a coffee break in between bouts of housework… but I wanted to get a standalone diary up, then others can opine from a position of actual expertise on this.
If the option to unpublish diaries still exists I’ll take this one down when someone with more chops than I [just about anybody, in other words] puts up something more useful than a splash and links.
