‘Elon Musk dismisses Tesla top manager and confidant’

High pressure due to disappointing sales

“We can’t live without you, but we’re going to try it.” That is the scope of what Tesla top manager Omead Afshar has reportedly heard. Disappointing sales would have cost him his job.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk was much in the news in the first half of 2025, but especially because of his role as ‘head of government reversal’ in the Trump administration. Because even someone like Musk has to choose what he focuses on, the daily management of Tesla and a series of other companies in that period was placed more in the hands of other top managers. Those managers could not prevent Tesla from sold fewer and fewer cars, where all kinds of external factors may also play a role.

Among the aforementioned top managers was Omead Afshar, which is described by, among others, Automotive News as a true confidant of Musk. Afshar was responsible for Tesla’s production and sales activities in North America and Europe, but now Musk has allegedly asked him to empty his desk. Officially, nothing is known about this, but according to the media who report it, the disappointing results of Tesla are partly pushed into Afhars shoes. Another dismissed Tesla manager, Matthew Labrot, says to Automotive News that the pressure to increase sales ‘especially in Europe’ is very large.
