You may be ketamine infused, but you're not stupid Elon. You know the exact reason that Tesla is failing.

How dare you not be able to sell products from a brand that I made toxic by doing a nazi salute and destroying huge parts of the government!

Omead Afshar, Tesla’s vice president in charge of sales and manufacturing in North America and Europe, has reportedly been fired by CEO Elon Musk, according to Forbes.

It’s not immediately known why Musk fired Afshar, who was one of his top lieutenants and closest confidants at the company. Afshar, Musk, and Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Afshar’s departure was first reported by Bloomberg News.

Afshar was posting support for the limited rollout of Tesla’s robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, as recently as Tuesday. “Absolutely historic day for Tesla,” he wrote on June 23 on X, the social media platform his former boss owns. “Thank you, Elon, for pushing us all!”
