Omid Afshar, who previously headed Tesla's operations in Europe and the United States, has recently departed the company, with his name subsequently removed from the company's internal directory. Afshar joined Tesla in 2017, where he played a pivotal role in the construction of Gigafactories. By the end of 2022, he transitioned to become Vice President of SpaceX, only to return to Tesla at the start of 2024 to take charge of North American and European business operations. The exact circumstances surrounding his departure remain unclear, with whispers suggesting it may have been a termination. Tesla's profits suffered a steep decline in the first quarter of this year, attributed to challenges in its automotive business in Europe and the United States, with deliveries sinking to their lowest point in over two years. Analysts anticipate a further year-on-year decline in deliveries for the second quarter.
