Quote:
Elon Musk fired Tesla’s head of operations in North America and Europe, amid declining sales in both regions and the electric vehicle brand’s falling popularity, according to people familiar with the matter.
Omead Afshar, who started with Tesla as an engineer in 2011, had become one of Musk’s top lieutenants and was elevated to vice president to oversee business in the two key regions last October. He didn’t respond to a request for comment, nor did Musk or Tesla.

Imagine getting fired because your boss is so unimaginably unpopular that he completely tanked company sales, and you get tossed under the self driving Derplorean so he can pretend to continue to think he isn't the problem. If only Omead had come up with more clever marketing involving 69 and 420, he might have been able to move all those swasticars.
