It is simply impossible for me to view the Tesla icon without it morphing into a swastika. Even if Elon and every board member is removed and all of their shares taken with no payout I would still never buy from them. The brand is irreversibly damaged.

America has a mentality of "I'm paying you for your time, not the quality of your work." Even if you complete the work assigned to you they will throw a hissy fit if you leave one minute early because that is one minute they are paying you that you arent available if something goes wrong.

It's all ass backwards because it is cheaper in the short term to pay for cheap labor with low reliability and high availability than for expensive labor with high reliability and medium to low availability. If you take the high availability away from the former you are left with nothing.

The phrase "let go" is definitely PR speak. It makes it sound less aggressive than "fired" or "terminated".

I have heard arguments that "fired" has the implication that the employee is at fault and did something bad, but the argument is weak.

I wouldn't call him the dumbest, but is certainly one of the most evil and manipulative.
