Tesla Terminates Worker for Criticising Elon's Nazi 'Joke': Is Free Speech Dead at His Companies?

Tesla has sacked a senior manager after he publicly criticised Elon Musk for making a social media post that referenced notorious Nazi leaders. The 'joke'—which Musk shared on X (formerly Twitter)—used wordplay involving figures such as Heinrich Himmler and Hermann Göring, prompting backlash, particularly given that it followed an incident where Musk made a gesture at a Donald Trump rally that some compared to a Nazi salute. The firing of the manager, who objected to Musk's post on LinkedIn, raises fresh concerns over Tesla's workplace culture and the company's stance on free speech.
