651
Omid Afshar, head of Tesla's North American and European operations, has resigned amid reports that he was fired by Musk. Afshar was one of Musk's long-time confidants and was responsible for overseeing the company's sales and manufacturing operations in Europe and the United States. The reason for his departure is not yet clear, but some analysts point out that this may be related to Tesla's declining sales in the North American and European markets.
