Tesla head of manufacturing Omead Afshar fired by Elon Musk

Key People Moves

Summary

Tesla CEO Elon Musk fired Omead Afshar, Tesla’s vice president of manufacturing and operations, after a period of weak car sales in key markets. Afshar reported directly to Musk and oversaw several senior executives across sales, regional operations, and business development. The move follows other recent leadership changes inside Tesla, including the departure of the head of the Optimus robotics program. Tesla continues to face pressure from falling stock performance, declining European sales, and reputational damage tied to Musk’s political activity.
