got fired from Volkswagen Group a year ago, and did get fired from his role as the Volkswagen CEO at the time. We also had a short chat about how he seemingly became a Tesla and Elon Musk fanboy — potentially rubbing a lot of people the wrong way. A day after we published this podcast,from his role as CEO of Volkswagen Group by a quick, stealth meeting of Volkswagen Group big bosses. Here are some of Steve’s ironic or timely last words on Diess: “He’s a visionary.
Visionaries often run up against objections from people who are more realistic and say, ‘Well, we can’t do this and we can’t do that.’ He is absolutely laser focused on his mission, and he is going to be the head of Volkswagen Group until somebody in the management or ownership group says, ‘We’ve had enough of this guy’ and kick him out. But it looks like he’s there to stay.” Or not.The next episode was just recorded earlier today and we focused on the Diess removal at length.
