A day after handing in his resignation from Tesla Inc., a senior leader returned to work last September to tie up loose ends and say goodbye to his colleagues.
Word spread that the employee had resigned, leading Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk to accost the worker, swearing at him and telling him to leave immediately, according to people with direct knowledge of the incident who asked not to be identified for fear of retribution. Musk made physical contact with the staffer in a heated confrontation that drew the attention of other employees and spilled into a hallway and later the parking lot, the people said. top news story
The employee told people that Musk had pushed him, an account corroborated by others with knowledge of the incident. Another person described it as a tap or light touch. In either case, the incident got the attention of Tesla’s board, which said in a statement to Bloomberg News that it reviewed the matter and compiled accounts from witnesses. The board concluded there was no “physical altercation,” though it didn’t specifically address the allegation of physical contact or verbal haranguing. current news in English
Let us tell you, Musk’s history of outbursts and “rage firings” are well documented, the incident last September is a rare glimpse into how the board has been forced to grapple with his behavior. The directors are under pressure from the Securities and Exchange Commission and investors to increase their oversight of the CEO, though it risks alienating the man whose cult of personality is closely linked to Tesla’s maverick image
