I reread the Bloomberg article. from the book,
"Musk fired senior executives, promoted hungry junior employees, and assigned former Daimler executive Jerome Guillen to fix Tesla’s repair service and get its glitchy cars back on the road."
Does anyone remember a single senior executive being fired in the late 2012/early 2013 timeframe, let alone multiple senior executives? Looks like cutting and pasting of events from different time periods (I suspect some even from Roadster days) implying they happened in those same few months. Perhaps the author carefully constructed the writing to imply gibberish without explicitly stating gibberish.
This book looks like it has low credibility, and with it's release in a month, there will likely be a bunch more gibberish from the rest of the book that shorts will look to draw from to write new FUD pieces.
