Elon Musk has intensified his involvement at Tesla, initiating significant layoffs that have raised concerns about his leadership motives. Initially announcing a 10% workforce reduction, the actual layoffs may approach 20%, including entire teams like the charging organization and cathode material manufacturing in Texas. This move has led to widespread uncertainty and frustration within Tesla, with some analysts questioning the rationale behind such drastic actions, especially given the previous success of teams like the Supercharger network. Musk's actions appear to be about more than just restructuring for efficiency; they suggest a deeper strategy to consolidate his control and prepare for future challenges.
