Tesla has become the last part of the Empire of Elon Musk to explain that the CEO’s criticism is unacceptable by expelling the director last month after he objected to a post on social media by Mr. Musk, who referred to the Nazi leaders.
Jared Omanman, a director and work engineer with Tesla battery suppliers, said he was expelled because he criticized Mr. Musk because of a post on X who used the names of the Nazis such as Heinrich Himmler and Hermann Göring in a series of words.
Mr. Musk wrote on January 23, “Stop your enemies,” adding: “I bet you did that Nazi.” He permeated him from the post with laughing emoji.
Mr. Utmann in LinkedIn in late January said he was insulting because Mr. Musk had indicated as a “joke” to the Nazis who were responsible for genocide.
“Starting in the year 2022, especially last week, the problem has sparked internally several times, with managers, human resources, legal compliance, investor relations.” booksReferring to the behavior by Mr. Musk that he found rejected. “Although people provide personal support, Tesla as a company remained silent.”
Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.
Mr. Musk companies, which include Spacex and X, have a history of the opposition. In 2022, Spacex, who made missiles, launched nine employees who called on the company to stay away from social media comments by Mr. Musk, including one who mocked the charges of sexual harassment against him. Some of these employees later submitted unfair fees to practice with the National Council for Labor Relations.
Mr. Othman’s critical statements, and Tesla’s reaction, are the latest indicators of the disturbance caused by Mr. Musk’s oathy policy. He has supported a far -right party in Germany whose members whose members have been fined for using Nazi slogans. He also made the role of Mr. Musk in the Trump administration as a leader of the Ministry of Government efficiency as a polarization.
The signs of the opposition were not isolated in Tesla to Mr. Umman. Last month, during a meeting at the Tesla offices in Palo Alto, California, the employees were charged with frustration towards Mr. Musk’s political activities, which prompted a manager to say that he was frustrated by the behavior of the CEO.
On Thursday, Mr. Ottman confirmed that he had been separated. The comment was more refused, referring to the questions to Jana Mousser, a lawyer in Santa Monica, California, and Mrs. Mosser did not respond to the comment request.
Three people said the accident, this fall, a SpaceX employee was separated after writing on an internal messaging board that Mr. Musk will stop wearing the company’s clothes while he appeared in his campaign for Mr. Trump. During a gathering in October in Bater, Pennsylvania, for example, Mr. Musk wore a “Mars” shirt-which SPAX is selling at his company-while jumping up and down on the stage.
The employee wrote that it would not be appropriate for workers to wear political clothes for the office, and therefore, the company’s clothes should not be worn in the campaign events. A few days after his post, the company canceled the employee’s arrival to the internal systems, although it later restored the employee after determining the lack of violation of the company’s policies, the people said.
The employee resigned weeks later. Spacex did not immediately respond to the suspension request.
Mr. Musk also launched the workers at X who criticized him. In the wake of his acquisition of the company of $ 44 billion, then it is called Twitter, in 2022, many employees published criticism of the billionaire on the platform. Mr. Musk argued with each other online, and the shooting was later.
The shooting is often contradictory to the goal of Mr. Musk to defend freedom of expression. It was offered to finance lawsuits against employers who shoot at fire workers because of the things they posted on X. In 2024, he funded a lawsuit with Former worker In the payment of payments company after being expelled due to the inflammatory posts she made at the expense of X a pseudonym.
Investors in Tesla, the only company circulated by Mr. Musk, feels that his political activities alienate some buyers and that he spends a long time in Washington and there is not enough time to address the sales of carboned car. The shares of the company fell by about 40 percent of a high group on December 17.
