The fired Tesla manager, identified as Jared Ottmann, worked with the electric vehicle company’s battery suppliers, according to the Times. And Ottmann didn’t appreciate the jokes that Musk made after the billionaire gave two Nazi-style salutes the day President Donald Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20.

Tesla manager Jared Ottmann was fired after criticizing Elon Musk's antisemitic rhetoric and condemning Tesla for its silence and inaction.

The employee objected to a post on X by Mr. Musk, Tesla’s chief executive and a top adviser to President Trump, that referred to Nazi leaders.
