"The main reason I'm leaving is that I think Elon has dealt huge damage to Tesla's mission (and to the health of democratic institutions in several countries),"
"Elon's leadership and decision-making seem seriously compromised,"
"This is not just about politics: it's about lying to the public, manipulating public discourse, targeting minorities and supporting climate change deniers and political forces aligned with the oil and gas industry,"
"It's fairly indisputable that the current US administration is slowing down the energy transition. Unfortunately, speed is critical if we are to avert the worst consequences of climate change,"
Giorgio Balestrieri left Tesla after eight years, citing Elon Musk's leadership as having dealt significant damage to Tesla's mission and to democratic institutions in multiple countries. Balestrieri worked on Tesla's autobidder platform and led European energy trading algorithms, serving as the company's first autobidder employee in Europe. Autobidder enables batteries to act as virtual power plants and is central to Tesla's energy storage business. Balestrieri criticized lying to the public, manipulation of public discourse, targeting of minorities, and support for climate-change deniers and oil-and-gas-aligned political forces, warning that slowed energy transition risks worsening climate outcomes.
