It doesn't make sense to hire an employee who is under investigation at one of your other companies in a ranking position.
According to sources close to the matter, the vice president of Starship production has been brought on as a result of the hiring of the Texas plant lieutenant of the electric car company.
According to the news site, over the summer, a close friend of Musk's was under investigation for a plan he had to buy construction materials for the company. Some of the executives' subordinates were fired during the investigation.
It's not clear if he's still working at the company or if he's been shuffled over to the other side of the world. According to sources, he hasn't been seen at the plant in a while.
It would not be the first time he was moved from one company to another. Musk has shuffled employees from Musk's company to other companies in the past. One of his consiglieres is an executive at both companies.
It would be weird to make this kind of hiring move, but the fact that Musk iswreaking havoc at his other company makes it all the more strange.
There is a story about Musk that is completely fake.
