Yikes. Tesla’s board seems unlikely to stand up to Musk and if they don’t they’re going to be Fisker.

There’ no fucking way I would go back to a company that fired me on the whims of a child. This is the kind of business strategy you get from a guy whose reaction to opposition is ‘Go fuck yourself’, or as he put stupidly put it, ‘G. F. Y.’
