Over-Promise. The new fragrance. By fElon de Musque.
He was probably afraid of getting too rich come 10/10 and the robotaxi.
Probably mad at the tantrum Elon had over Crowdstrike.
Sell (before) the news?
Not saying he has many principles, but I assume it had to do with having more principles than Mr Musk.
Tesla’s CIO: ight imma head out
wish I could have afforded those tsla puts 
all in on TSLZ
Bullish. Margins will be great with less corporate payroll.
The job is finished. His mission is accomplished. This is bullish.
this dude leaving right before robotaxi event is not a good sign 
Elmo probably taking out his temper tantrums on the Tesla team. Guessing they’ve got nothing groundbreaking to show on the 10th
Grifters all of them.
Are they suggesting that the constantly overpromised, constantly delayed robotaxi ‘reveal’ will be just be another nothingburger like everything else Elmo promises?
You have to leave a sinking ship.
Closed my Tesla shorts for nice $12k gain
Robotaxi must be amazing!
People who believe Tesla can pull robotaxis with Elon’s fixation on not using advanced sensors like lidar are just stupid.
Unless he backtracked on that.
But even then, people way underestimate the complexity.
Easy backstory:
“Sir, the RoboTaxi is not safe to launch”
“Um uhhhh so….here’swhatwe’regoingtodo. You’re uhhh gonnago**fuck**yourself, but we uhhh needyoutosignthesepapers and you’re going to tell everyone you resigned.”
Source: I was a fly on the wall for this conversation
I saw him leaving in a Waymo lmao
Oof. Pretty much their entire exec have left over the last year.
Time to head back to 200
Lololololo
So the guy ultimately in charge of data is leaving before they inevitably announce that their vision only data system can’t really work. So when Elon gets called out he can say “it was that guy who was giving me unrealistic expectations”
This shit is too rich
The guys been around Tesla since the launch of Model S. Big name.
I can’t think of another large org with that much top level churn.
Ruh roh
this dude left work in waymo
Nag… Nage… Nagunna work there anymore.
lol waymo light years ahead
You mean misinformation officer.
