Tesla manager claims he was fired for warning Elon Musk is at fault for tanking EV sales

Quick Summary:

After nearly six years at the EV manufacturer, Matthew LaBrot said he lost his "dream job" after demanding Musk cede the reins—a price the manager said he was willing to pay.

Even before it began, DOGE promised to target a $6.6 billion federal loan extended to Rivian, a direct competitor of Tesla.

Tesla stock is poised to reclaim its spot in the trillion-dollar club of global megacaps on Monday, cheering investors with highs not seen since late February.
