Elon Musk has reportedly fired Tesla Forbes. Both CNBC and Bloomberg The report was confirmed. Afshar’s exports followed Tesla’s Optimus Prime robotics engineering director Milan Kovac, who left the company in early June.
Afshar was promoted to the position last year, Bloomberg The report said that since 2017, working for several Musk-owned companies. With Tesla facing trouble selling cars, it is not surprising that he quits. Sales in Europe shrank for the fifth straight month, with the European Automobile Manufacturers Association reporting that registrations for the new Tesla fell nearly 41% in May. The company is also struggling in China, with sales down 15% the same month.
Although Musk seems to be in charge of Afshar, the responsibility is obviously in Musk’s feet. Helping President Donald Trump’s re-election in the U.S., making cost-cutting efforts after his election and generally maintaining a harmful public presence that permanently pollutes Musk and his company. Although SpaceX still benefits from government contracts, Tesla’s sales are vulnerable to public opinion, the Tesla withdrawal movement has been leveraging protests outside of company dealers to capitalize on its advantages.
Fired Afshar, leave his position in the U.S. government, and launch Tesla’s Robotaxi service in Austin, a different attempt by Musk to change the narrative around Tesla. It is unclear whether they will really help.
