Elon Musk laid off the Tesla Supercharger team; now he’s rehiring them (arstechnica.com)

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.

Announce large workforce cuts: line go up?

Announce large investment in workforce (even if it was just cut): line go up more?

I don't really get the logic that's going on the impulsive billionaire imbecile's mind.

Everyone being rehired to Tesla had better be asking for at least double for the trouble Musk put them through.

Someone probably reminded Elon of the giant government grant he took to expand the supercharger network and that he could make the company liable for losing all that money.

Yeah. I suspect they let him know he could have honest to goodness consequences for his actions.
