Elon Musk hit back at President Trump’s claim that he didn’t want to strip the mogul’s companies of his government subisidies. Trump seemingly extended an olive branch after the public falling out between the two by denying reports that he had it out for Musk.

Tesla reportedly fired Omead Afshar, its head of North American and European operations, in June following a massive drop in European EV deliveries. Afshar, who joined Tesla in 2017, was just promoted to the position in November. The Wall Street Journal described Afshar as one of Musk's closest confidants at the company.
