This isn’t true. Nearly every auto manufacturer has safety recalls. All the time. And that’s a good thing, because it means the manufacturer has actually found a problem usually before it effects every vehicle they recall, and can correct the problem safely. It keeps people safe when mistakes happen, because mistakes WILL happen.
I don’t like Tesla any more than the next person, probably for different reasons, but what’s described here doesn’t appear to be any different from any of the other myriad of other safety recalls that happen all the time, except that the manufacturer has negative publicity meaning articles can farm clicks and ad revenue.
No, I mean a CEO does not get fired because one of their vehicles has a recall on it, or even a lot of recalls on the same vehicle.
Ford, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Mercedes, even Toyota have all had safety recalls on their vehicles over the years. One or more at some point have likely been directly related to a direct order from the CEO. Some of the safety recalls have been even more serious than wheels falling off, such as issues that caused the vehicle to catch fire, or to be disabled while driving.
So far as I can see, a CEO was never fired for a safety recalls on one of their vehciles. Ever.
It is not true that Elon Musk “would have been fired for this if Tesla was a normal company.” Regardless of opinions on the person, the safety recalls would never result in his firing.
No, you’re either suffering from main character syndrome, or inserting the most obtuse defense against punting Musk that I’ve ever seen.
But go on, see if you can use Well ekshually-style condescension to sway me from the premise that Elon Musk is a fucking idiot, and that if Tesla was a normal company, he’d be punted.

Actually, every word is true.
Most people automatically recognize that the implied subordinate clause is
Yet one more reason that (the cybertruck is the biggest lemon in history)
And not
Wow a recall, which leaves me no choice but to declare that (the cybertruck is the biggest lemon in history)
But if you really wanted to distill the message down to it’s essence, it is that Elon Musk is a thundercunt.
