Tesla's VP of North American and European sales and manufacturing, Omead Afshar, has been fired by CEO Elon Musk, according to reports. The reason for Afshar's dismissal remains unclear, though it coincides with Tesla's declining sales and profits. Afshar, a close confidant of Musk, had recently praised Tesla's robotaxi rollout. The firing comes amidst investigations into Afshar's involvement in past material purchases. Tesla's director of North American HR, Jenna Ferrua, also reportedly left the company.
