Tesla Engineer Says He’s Quitting Over Musk’s Leadership

A Tesla engineer in charge of the company’s European energy trading algorithms said he quit the company because of what he calls CEO Elon Musk’s “seriously compromised” leadership.

In a Thursday post on LinkedIn, Giorgio Balestrieri, who worked for Tesla’s Autobidder platform, said he was leaving the company after eight years because “I think Elon has dealt huge damage to Tesla’s mission (and to the health of democratic institutions in several countries).”
