I think this is the real problem, they never did anything to rein him in and probably have the cult of personality mindset.

iic this happened a few months ago and it turned out to be nothing. Although it would be very Elon to announce his last ditch lovely stock pumping scheme, then leave Tesla under the guise of "my work is complete" as the company immediately implodes

Well I'm a-running down the road, puttin' layoffs on hold
I've got seven lawsuits on my mind
Four that say I'm lazy, two that claim I'm crazy
One says I'm committing crimes

Buy this EV, buy this EV
Don't let the sound of whompy wheels drive you crazy
Tweet about production plans
Until the SEC gets me banned
At least I know that all my fans will buy this EV

Well I'm a-talkin' with my lawyer in Fremont, California
Such a strange sight to see
There's a fire, my lord, on the factory floor!
By those undelivered Model 3s

Come on baby, please don't blame me
Even if Tesla goes to hell, SpaceX will save me
I don't care 'bout all these cars
Because I'm on my way to the stars
Can't go to jail when I'm on Mars, so buy this EV

Well I'm a-running down the road, puttin' layoffs on hold
Until I announce the Model Y
Even though Azealia thinks that I'm a failure
I think I like her more than Grimes

Buy this EV, buy this EV
Don't let the sound of whompy wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, please don't blame me
Even if Tesla goes to hell, SpaceX will save me

This is my favorite thing really... even if we assume a scenario where Earth gets so hosed up that we need to live in hab units and can never go outside to the natural environment again...it would be dozens of orders of magnitude easier to do that on Earth itself than to go to Mars or anywhere else to do so. And if we gently caress up Earth's environment to the point we can't survive in it, then we can absolutely take terraforming off the table, so let's go ahead and just make thos habs on Earth.

lmao I wonder if former Tesla employees will have this same problem?

Apparently people who worked for Theranos especially people higher up the totem pole are having problems
finding new jobs.

Respected people from "Bad Blood" book who decided to walk away early on the trainwreck or refused to sign off on things like the fraudulent test data.

Sort of sad how the Star Trek technology premise seemed to attract lots of legit talent.

An endless job search compounded by fears of being blacklisted by certain businesses. Anxious gossip about who is and isn't mentioned in the latest news reports. And probing questions from outsiders on how they could ever have worked at the disgraced company.

Welcome to life after Theranos.
At its peak in 2014, the blood-testing startup was a darling of Silicon Valley. Theranos reportedly had a $9 billion valuation, a retail partnership with Walgreens, and a board stacked with political heavyweights like Henry Kissinger and George Shultz. Hundreds of employees joined the company to help it fulfill the ambitious mission of creating a cheaper and more efficient alternative to traditional medical tests.

Then it all began to unravel. The Wall Street Journal published a report in 2015 questioning the company's technology and testing methods. Theranos was sued by investors for fraud and had its blood-testing license revoked by the government. By 2018, its CEO Elizabeth Holmes had stepped down and its labs had closed. In September, Theranos announced plans to dissolve itself.

Today, some of those employees are still trying to move on from a company that is now a household name for all the wrong reasons. These efforts may be complicated by Hollywood's interest in the story, including a new HBO documentary out this month, ensuring the Theranos scandal remains very much in the public eye.
