One of the more interesting tidbits to come out of Tesla’s earnings conference call yesterday was the announcement that Tesla CTO and company co-founder JB Straubel is leaving the company. Straubel will remain involved with Tesla in an advisory committee, which is essentially a corporate-esque way of saying that he’s gone.
“I want to thank JB for his fundamental role in creating and building Tesla,” Musk said at one point during the conference call. “If we hadn’t had lunch in 2003, Tesla wouldn’t exist.”
