Er, just to check, are you aware that Tesla announced layoffs of 7% of the company two days ago https://www.tesla.com/blog/tesla-company-update ? Are you claiming that the poster is speaking of an unrelated layoff? Or that Tesla swept up sexual harassers in the 7% layoffs?

Of course. But do you have specific knowledge that the 7% layoffs was the explicit reason this employee was let go?

You don't know. I don't know. So why are we passing judgment?

If the tweetstorm was about why it's misguided corporate governance for Tesla to lay off 7% of its workforce, OK, let's have that debate.

But that's not what this thread discusses -- it specifically blames Tesla for laying off 1 person. But we can't possibly know the specifics of this individual's situation.

You think that he was coincidentally laid off for some unrelated purpose on the same day as HR was busy laying off 7% of their employees? That they didn't schedule it for one day before or after?

I don't know, you're right, but this is highly improbable.
