Top executives depart Tesla after months of turmoil and sales slump
Top executives have recently departed Tesla after months of turmoil caused by CEO Elon Musk 's stint in politics and a sales slump at the electric car company. Troy Jones, vice president of sales, service and delivery in Tesla's North American market, left the firm after 15 years, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. Several other Tesla higher-ups have left the company in the past year. Milan Kovac, a vice president of engineering who oversaw Tesla's development of its humanoid robot Optimus, announced his departure in June. 'This week, I've had to make the most difficult decision of my life and will be moving out of my position. I've been far away from home for too long, and will need to spend more time with family abroad,' Kovac, who had worked at the company for more than nine years, wrote on X at the time. He added: 'I want to make it clear that this is the only reason, and has absolutely nothing to do with anything else. My support for @elonmusk and the team is ironclad - Tesla team forever.' Jenna Ferrura, Tesla's director of human resources for North America, has also left. Bloomberg reported in June, citing people familiar with the matter, Ferrura no longer appeared in the company directory. Omead Afshar, who oversaw sales and manufacturing operations in North America and Europe, has departed the company as well. Forbes reported in June, citing people familiar with the matter, Afshar was fired by Musk after being promoted to his position in October. Bloomberg called Afshar one of Musk's 'closest confidants,' working at the company since 2017. The E-suite shakeups come during a rough few months for Tesla. Musk made waves among a key demographic of EV buyers when he led President Donald Trump 's Department of Government Efficiency. Musk left the White House in late May, and his relationship with Trump quickly soured. There have been protests at Tesla dealerships and even some cases of attacks on property at car showrooms and lots, charging stations and involving privately owned Tesla cars. Against this backdrop, Tesla's global vehicle sales dropped 13.5 percent in the second fiscal quarter of 2025, the Journal reported earlier this month. The company reported worse-than-expected Tesla deliveries. There were 384,122 Tesla vehicles delivered in the second quarter, off the 387,000 estimate from analysts, according to FactSet. Tesla's stock has also significantly decreased over the past six months. The stock was at around $413 per share on January 16, compared to about $308 per share on Tuesday, according to MarketWatch. The company has been trying to entice customers with an updated Model Y midsize SUV and a cheaper version of its Cybertruck. June was a particularly big month for Tesla as the company unveiled new versions of its Model S and Model X luxury cars and launched a pilot of its robotaxi service in Austin.

As class action trial looms, Meta and Flo could face 'mind-boggling' damages
July 15 (Reuters) - It's hard to imagine more intimate queries than those that fertility tracking app Flo allegedly asked its users. Among them: When was your last period? How often do you have sex? Masturbate? Do you get yeast infections? As app maker Flo Health and co-defendant Meta are set to face a class action trial in San Francisco federal court next week for allegedly violating the privacy of millions of Flo users, the question now is whether the companies will cut a deal or risk what Flo on appeal, opens new tab termed "mind-boggling" damages. Litigators sometimes bandy about the phrase 'bet-the-company case,' but this could be the real thing. Facebook parent Meta is defending against claims of violating the California Invasion of Privacy Act, which carries statutory penalties of $5,000 per violation. That would add up to at least $190 billion in damages if, as plaintiffs have previously suggested, opens new tab, there are 38 million class members. If each app entry is treated as a separate violation, total damages could be quadrillions of dollars — "a sum so large it may as well be infinite," as Flo put it. A spokesperson for Meta, which is represented by outside counsel from Latham & Watkins and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, said the plaintiffs' claims against the company "are simply false, and we are confident that the evidence at trial will demonstrate the realities." Flo, represented by Dechert, separately is dealing with claims including violations of California's Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, which carries penalties of $1,000 per violation. A spokesperson for the London-based, privately held company said Flo "is committed to protecting the privacy of its users, and any allegation otherwise has no merit." The companies have argued that Flo's privacy disclosures gave users notice of the alleged misconduct and that they impliedly consented, that the shared data did not contain personally identifying information and that Meta never 'intended' to intercept communications. According to the Meta spokesperson, the company does 'not want health or other sensitive information' and its terms 'prohibit developers from sending any.' Google, which was also named in the suit, reached a settlement in principle last week on as-yet undisclosed terms. A Google spokesperson did not respond to my request for comment. Given the risk of outsized verdicts (even those that don't involve 16 figures), class actions rarely go to trial. For example, Google last month took a chance on one involving cellular phone data, only to be hit with a $314 million verdict by a California jury on July 1. The Flo plaintiffs invoke California's 1967 invasion of privacy law, a Cold War relic that makes it illegal to covertly eavesdrop or record telephone conversations. As I previously wrote, the cause of action has enjoyed a resurgence of late among plaintiffs' lawyers, especially in connection with the use of chatbots, tracking pixels and other data analytics software. The Flo jury trial, set for July 21 before U.S. District Judge James Donato, looms as current and former Meta leaders face an $8 billion shareholder suit in Delaware that kicks off Wednesday. The shareholders allege Meta executives violated a 2012 agreement between Facebook and the Federal Trade Commission to protect users' data, my Reuters colleague Tom Hals reports. The Flo class action also has its roots in an FTC case. The agency sued Flo, opens new tab after The Wall Street Journal in 2019 reported that it was able to intercept identifying health information about Flo users transmitted by the app to Facebook. The FTC's 2021 settlement required Flo to obtain users' consent before sharing their health information and to notify affected women about the disclosure. According to the follow-on class action, opens new tab, which covers all Flo app users nationwide from Nov. 1, 2016, to Feb. 28, 2019, plus a California subclass, Flo integrated code from Meta and Google's software development kits, which are used for data analytics, into its app. That allegedly allowed the companies to review personal information on users' menstrual cycles, sex lives and pregnancies, despite promises by Flo that the data would remain confidential. The third parties were "were free to use this data for their own purposes," including marketing and advertising, the complaint alleges. "If Plaintiff and Class members had known that Flo Health would share their intimate health data, they would not have used the Flo App." Plaintiffs' lawyers from Labaton Keller Sucharow; Lowey Dannenberg and Spector Roseman & Kodroff did not respond to requests for comment. Donato certified the class in May, writing, opens new tab that the 'loss of control over one's personal information' is a concrete harm, "whether from stealing access to a personal diary in 1916 or obtaining user information in a healthcare app in 2016.' The decision prompted an interlocutory appeal, opens new tab in June by Flo to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Flo argued that Donato wrongly held that the company's class action waiver was unenforceable. The judge deemed the provision unconscionable because it was buried in Flo's terms of service. Flo also argued that the company's use of the software development kits is 'a practice as unremarkable as it is widespread,' and that it disclosed using the kits in its privacy policy and terms of service. Flo also said the transmitted data was de-identified, consisting of alphanumeric strings corresponding to the device on which the app was used. The appeals court in six-sentence order, opens new tab on June 17 denied Flo's petition and declined to stay the lower court proceedings. 'Cases of this magnitude almost never proceed to trial,' Flo noted in its appeal, describing the 'hydraulic pressure' to settle. I can only imagine. But if it does indeed go to trial, all I can say is, pass the popcorn.

The Inquiry Is AI eroding our critical thinking?
More and more of the tasks we perform in our daily lives are been guided by artificial intelligence, from searching the internet for answers to relying on satellite navigation in our cars. But studies recently released suggest that our use of AI is having a negative impact on our ability to make informed judgements and decisions. In one recent study from MiT's Media Lab, a group of people were asked to write several essays. Some of them used AI, others didn't. Those who used generative AI reportedly became lazier with each subsequent essay. This cognitive offloading, allowing AI to take over from our brains might be less taxing, but there are concerns that if we come to rely on AI, we are in danger of replacing our own critical thinking for a technology that might not always come up with the right answer. However, there are those who argue that AI can be beneficial in helping our cognitive function, that it can be employed to take on the more mundane, repetitive tasks, freeing up headspace to allow us to become more productive. Software education platforms are just one example where AI is been employed to assist teachers in things like knowledge checks and grading, with the claim that it allows them time for more valuable interaction with their students. So is it possible to find a balance where we can we can rely on AI but not to the extent were we lose our mental agility. On this week's Inquiry, we're asking "Is AI eroding our critical thinking?'
