Overview

• Matthew LaBrot, a Tesla program manager for over five years, was fired after launching an anonymous website advocating for a new CEO and protesting Elon Musk's leadership.
• LaBrot staged a protest on April 25, spray-painting slogans on his Cybertruck and parking it at a Tesla facility to promote his website.
• Tesla cited misuse of company resources and misalignment with corporate values as reasons for the termination, which LaBrot disputes.
• LaBrot’s actions were fueled by dissatisfaction with Musk’s leadership following his Twitter acquisition and political endorsements, which he believes harm Tesla’s brand and mission.
• Tesla has not responded to media inquiries about the firing, while LaBrot claims his performance and team’s work were unrelated to his dismissal.
