As Tesla Crumbles, Elon Musk Just Fired One of His Top Supporters at the Company
Briefly

Elon Musk has terminated Omead Fashar, Tesla's vice president of manufacturing and operations, amidst declining sales and public critique linked to Musk's controversial public image. Fashar, who joined Tesla in 2017 and was promoted to oversee North American and European operations, faced dismissal as Tesla struggles with a 19% drop in share value and a significant decline in vehicle sales. This came soon after other execs left the firm, hinting at broader turbulence within Tesla as it faces increasing competition and negative perception from consumers.
Fashar was responsible for sales and manufacturing in North America and Europe, critical regions where backlash against Musk felt most intensely.
This year saw Tesla shares plummet by 19%, with a staggering 13% drop in sales marking the largest downturn in the company's history.
