Tesla employee survey calls Elon Musk an 'unapproachable tyrant' who fires people 'because of his eg

ego'

An internal 2018 Tesla worker survey conducted during a trying period for the company reveals employees voiced concerns about Elon Musk's leadership.

The survey, which Insider obtained and is publishing in full for the first time, was referenced last week in a lawsuit against the billionaire over his more than $50 billion compensation package.

Tesla's former chief people officer, Gabrielle Toledano, sent the survey to Tesla board member Ira Ehrenpreis, who chairs the company's compensation committee, on March 2, 2018. In her email, Toledano identified two key issues employees said they were facing: concerns over compensation and concerns about leadership at Tesla, particularly around Elon Musk.

"Review of employee survey results," Toledano said in the email. "Not good on comp, esp from VPs, and not good on leadership, mostly about Elon."

I’ve been saying the Tesla board is going to get sick of him sooner or later. But it may take longer due to his cronies.

and Tesla as a brand is catching a little Twitter off-gassing. When debt repayment becomes a cash flow problem, even his crony BOD will feel it.
