In a plot twist that could rival any Tesla unveiling, a former employee named Matthew LaBrot found himself escorted out of the company for doing what many of us only dream about—publicly criticizing Elon Musk.
That’s right! LaBrot launched a website calling for Tesla to shake things up and move on from its famed (or infamous, depending on your perspective) CEO. And just like that, within 48 hours, he went from employee to ‘ex-employee’ faster than you can say “electric vehicle.”
LaBrot’s act of defiance included attending a protest aptly named the Tesla Takedown, proving that even in the world of cutting-edge tech, freedom of speech can sometimes take a backseat—just not in a Tesla!
This isn’t a one-off situation either. LaBrot joins a growing list of former Tesla employees who discovered that airing their grievances against the bald-headed genius often leads to a one-way ticket out the door. So, for those contemplating launching a critique of your boss? Maybe stick to anonymous post-it notes on the break room fridge.
Let’s be real though: while LaBrot’s actions are certainly bold, it raises an important question—can companies that thrive on innovation afford to ignore dissenting voices? Or will they keep firing employees until they build a team made of only the most sycophantic exclamation points?
