After Tesla Employees Signed Letter Asking Elon Musk to Resign, at Least One Has Been Fired

Matthew Labrot, Tesla employee who created Tesla employees against Elon Musk, was launched from the company two weeks ago. Labrot claimed in LinkedIn’s post that he was terminated to create the site, and because it was part of a larger group of employees who publicly asked Elus Musk to resign from the company.

Tesla faced several crisisAnd volatile The price of the stock, to name a few. Car sales decreased for the first time in more than a decade in 2024, and again decreased by 13 % in the first quarter of 2025. In Europe, the company’s problems are particularly clear with a 50 percent decrease in sales in Germany last month and France witnessed a similar decrease by 59 percent in the same period.

Tesla blames her sales lower on a new Y. In the Q1 2025 profit call last month, the company made it clear that there was no simply “enough of the new Y model available in most markets” at the beginning of the year to make a positive impact on sales.

Not so, say the employees behind the message, who signed “employees in Tesla for a new chapter.” They argue that Tesla problems are not due to errors in the production of the Y, but rather to the general reputation of the company’s executive executive, Elon Musk. “Let’s be clear: We are not the problem. Our products are not the problem. Our engineering teams, service and delivery are not the problem. The problem is the demand. The problem is Elon.”

It should be noted that Tesla itself made a similar statement about the call of its profits last month, and he admitted to some extent that “the unwanted hostility towards our brand and our people had an impact [on sales] In some markets.“

This evaluation swings with the analysis of experts, many of which blamed the sales of Tesla, who are stalled in her last invasion of the CEO of right -wing policy. Last year, Musk donated at least 288 million dollars to help elect the Donald Trump and other Republican candidates to his position. As a special adviser to President Trump, MUSK spent most of the year 2025 at the head of the Ministry of Governmental efficiency (DOGE), having home to the administration’s efforts to significantly reduce (and lied to cut off) government spending.

In early 2025, Musk’s participation in politics ignited a protest movement at the base level as Tesla Takedown, which mobilized demonstrators in Tesla showrooms and shipping stations throughout the country. While some losses have been recovered since then, the company’s share price decreased at the beginning of the year. During the middle of March, the company’s share price decreased by 38 % since the beginning of 2025.

Amid pressure from investors, MUSK announced the invitation of Tesla Q1 profits that will return from his work in Washington to spend more time in the company.

In their open letter, Tesla employees for a new chapter called the Musk “Tone Maf” and “insult”. “This means that the difficulties of the past six months stem from the lack of his attention, and not from his actions. It turns the blame to the people who gathered this company together.”

According to LinkedIn, Labrot worked in “Sales and Delivery Training” in Tesla and was with the company for more than five years before his chapter.
