re: Elon Musk Says Tesla Will Be $1 Trillion Dollars Soon

I would say silly reasoning would be having 2-3 executives resign. But 5 this year alone.. Something is going on.

Three of these people are replaceable without much worry. A Controller, general counsel, and communications lead aren't lynch pins to Tesla's growth.

Other senior executives who have left Tesla this year include Michael Zanoni, vice president of finance and worldwide controller; James Chen, vice president of regulatory affairs and deputy general counsel; and Ricardo Reyes, vice president of global communications. Tesla said that of 40 executive positions filled in the last year, only one has left. Half the people who report directly to Musk have been at the company for more than five years.

The ones of some concern are these two on the manufacturing side:

quote:

---

Greg Reichow, Tesla's vice president of production and one of its highest-paid executives, and Josh Ensign, vice president of manufacturing, will leave the company. A Tesla spokesperson confirmed both departures and said Reichow will remain until his replacement is found.

---

However, Reichow sticking around until a replacement is found tells me that there isn't bad blood.

According to this article, there are rumors that the Model X delays are the reason for these changes although Tesla publicly denies this.
