    The Spin

    Narrative A

    This is happening just as a recession looms. Musk is the wealthiest man in the world and he's taking action against - and openly criticizing - hardworking employees rather than addressing actual issues within his company.

    Narrative B

    Musk is a shrewd businessman and it's his right to do what he wants with his company. A recession is coming and business leaders need to protect their companies. Working from home has made white-collar workers lazy. Tesla needs to cut down on its bloated staff.
