Omead Afshar, a senior Tesla executive and close confidant of CEO Elon Musk, has left the company amid a challenging period marked by declining sales in North America and Europe. Afshar, who served as Tesla's head of operations for these regions and was responsible for overseeing sales and manufacturing, was reportedly fired by Musk. His departure comes as Tesla faces a slump in demand, with notable sales declines in key markets including a 28% drop in Europe. Afshar had been promoted less than a year ago to oversee operations in North America and Europe and was considered a key figure within Musk's inner circle, often described as the CEO's "fixer." In addition to Afshar, Tesla's HR executive Jenna Ferrua is also reported to be leaving the company. The exits reflect broader executive turnover during a volatile period for Tesla, coinciding with the rollout of the controversial Robotaxi pilot and ongoing scrutiny of Tesla's sales performance. Tesla has not publicly confirmed Afshar's departure, though multiple media outlets including Bloomberg, Forbes, Reuters, and the Financial Times have reported on the matter, citing sources familiar with the situation.
