Tesla Cuts Its Global Security Head in 11 Months
What Just Happened?
In a move that no one saw coming, Tesla’s Jeff Jones – the man who had been entrusted with the company’s security after the infamous Elon Musk era – has been dismissed and left the company mid‑November.
Why the Shake‑Up?
- Teslas leadership says his role is “no longer needed.”
- He reported directly to the former ape‑manned boss, Elon Musk.
- Musk himself had just befallen the role of Tesla’s chairman after regulators slammed him over fraud claims.
- Tesla has hired an Australian exec to step in while the fallout continues.
How We Know
The rumor came from a CNBC exclusive and was confirmed by a Twitter tweet from Matt Rosoff. According to insider sources, Jones packed his bags and exited the company during the holiday season.
Feeling the Fallout
It’s amazing – just 11 months into the job, and suddenly the security head is out. It’s almost like watching a binge‑worthy TV series abruptly go off the air. Folks, move out of the office now. Prep those popcorn kernels. It’s going to be one heck of a ride.
