People demanding inclusiveness loudly weren't really prominent in actually being inclusive. Or tolerant or diverse for that matter. On the contrary in my experience. Could be that they are correct. A bit arrogant to decry the founder of the company you chose to work for. But only people working at Tesla can probably form an opinion not subject to a lot of speculation.<p>What you or good journalists could ask is if they directed the criticism at him personally before contacting the board. At least if there were channels for that. That often gives a hint if it isn't just some flavor of the day animosity.
