Musk asks engineers and advisors why his engagement numbers are tanking (seems like a totally reasonable question by a CEO right?).
One of the company’s two remaining principal engineers suggests it's because people are tired of his behaviour. They show him a Google Trends search that shows his search popularity is 10% of what it was a while ago. They found no evidence of the algorithm being biased against him.
He didn't like that so he fired them.

“We haven’t seen much in the way of longer term, cogent strategy,” one employee said. “Most of our time is dedicated to three main areas: putting out fires (mostly caused by firing the wrong people and trying to recover from that), performing impossible tasks, and ‘improving efficiency’ without clear guidelines of what the expected end results are. We mostly move from dumpster fire to dumpster fire, from my perspective.”
