Tesla has become the last part of Elon Musk's commercial empire to clarify that the criticisms of the CEO are unacceptable by firing a manager last month after having objected to a post on social media by Mr. Musk who referred to the Nazi leaders.Jared Ottmann, a manager and engineer who worked with Tesla battery suppliers, said he was fired because he criticized Mr. Musk for a X post that used the names of the Nazis such as Heinrich Himmler and Hermann Göring in a series of words."Stop your enemies of Göring," Musk wrote on January 23, adding, "bets you made a Nazi who arrived." He dotted the pole with an EMOJI laughing.Mr. Ottmann told LinkedIn in late January that he had been offended that Mr. Musk had reported "as a joke" to the Nazis who were responsible for the genocide."Starting fro...

It has been billed as the first step to establish a representative government while Syria has emerged for decades of a brutal dictatorship to a family.But for some in Syria, the long -awaited "national dialogue" that ended on Tuesday evening remained very short of those promises. Instead, the two -day conference only added to the concerns about the opening of the new Islamist sovereigns of the country to create a truly inclusive political process."We have many objections on how it happened," said Ibrahim Draji, professor of law at the University of Damascus who was among the hundreds of participants in the conference. “There is no transparency.
