Elon Musk lays off Tesla execs, plans more cuts
STORY: Elon Musk looks to be doing more layoffs at Tesla. Reports by The Information on Tuesday (April 30) say he’s fired two top executives, and plans to get rid of hundreds more workers. Musk is said to be frustrated by falling sales, and the pace of earlier job cuts. The story quotes an email said to be from Musk. In it he says, “these actions are making it clear that we need to be absolutely hard core about headcount”. In an apparent warning to managers, he says “while some on exec staff are taking this seriously, most are not yet doing so”. There was no immediate response to a Reuters request for comment. It all follows a move earlier this month to shed some 10% of the company’s workforce. Tesla is grappling with falling sales and an intensifying price war which it started. Reporting earnings last week, it said all that led to its first quarterly drop in revenue since 2020. Musk this weekend made a surprise visit to China, the epicenter of the price battle. There he made progress on rolling out the brand’s advanced driver assistance features in the country. However, Tesla faces fierce competition from local makers like BYD in what is now the world’s biggest car market.

Germany's struggle to clean up its supply chains has lessons for Europe
German engineering company BAUCH makes machines and engine components out of materials mined in China, Africa or South America that pass through multiple hands and processes before they reach its factories in southern Germany and China. To comply with Germany's new Supply Chain Act, BAUCH, like other firms with more than 1,000 staff, must take due diligence procedures to monitor suppliers' human rights and environmental protection standards - a task which CEO Manfred Bauch says is almost impossible and threatens to rip apart his supply chain.

Musk disbands Tesla EV charging team, leaving customers in the dark
DETROIT (Reuters) -Elon Musk's abrupt decision to lay off employees who ran Tesla's electric vehicle charging business blindsided automakers gearing up to equip new EVs for customers to use the Tesla Supercharger network, industry officials and analysts said on Tuesday. For now, General Motors, Ford and other automakers which struck deals last year to give customers access to the network said they are not changing their plans. Tesla's decision to open its network to rival EV manufacturers was hailed by U.S. President Joe Biden, and opened the door for Tesla to get federal subsidies to expand the reach of its North American Charging Standard (NACS) system.

Canada's long-delayed Trans Mountain oil pipeline starts operations
(Reuters) -After 12 years and C$34 billion ($25 billion), Canada's Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project (TMX) began commercial operations on Wednesday, a major milestone expected to transform access to global markets for the country's producers. Pipeline constraints have forced Canadian oil producers to sell oil at a discount for many years, but TMX will nearly triple the flow of crude from landlocked Alberta to Canada's Pacific coast to 890,000 barrels per day (bpd). For Canada, the world's fourth-biggest oil producer, the additional pipeline capacity is set to boost crude prices, lift national gross domestic product and expand access to Asian oil markets.
