I can’t imagine anyone that has decent prospects would agree to go back to Tesla after getting canned with those kinds of wild swings in decision making.

    Go back with a decent pay bump (obviously he needs them) and with a plan to bolt ASAP. Continue your job search while you collect a higher temporary salary.

    Terrible move from Elon as it shows he has no negotiating power.

      I’d only do this if I was desperate. The company already showed they are willing to just pull the trigger at the drop of a hat and don’t give a fuck, even if I was still looking I’d be waiting for the other shoe to drop.

        Oh yea, but you’re already mentally out the door. You take extra cash and you just collect “easy money” while you shop around the resume or get you big moving plans finished up.

          You could even take the job and see how hard you can half-ass it (extra points of you do literally no work) before they fire you again.

        I’d go back if the pay bump was enough to cover anxiety about job uncertainty

      “This is the single greatest talent acquisition opportunity since I founded EnviroSpark. Tesla had been able to scale their charging infrastructure due in no small part to the talented employees on the Supercharger team.”

      Half of them likely already have another job.

        Considering it is only weeks after the government decided the entire EV industry has to use what the former employees created and ran…

          What do you mean? The US is switching to NACS which is a standardized plug, Tesla superchargers will not be the only charging network to use it.
