The day before the mass firings, Tesla charging chief Rebecca Tinucci met with Elon Musk about the charging network's future.
Tinucci had recently cut 15-20% of Supercharger staff as part of wider
Tesla layoffs.
In the meeting, Musk was displeased with Tinucci's presentation and wanted more layoffs. When Tinucci pushed back, saying deeper cuts would undermine the charging business, Musk fired her and her entire 500-member team.
