If anything, it was a major coup by Tesla to make their plug the standard when they have the largest existing charging network for that plug. Now they're in a position of letting other networks catch up.

This decision is bafflingly stupid. Is firing people the only way Musk can get hard anymore?

I didn't really follow. Because the way it happened was, Tesla can make money from it's charging stations and other OEMs get a robust charging network.

How robust it'll be by the time other cars get access is now rather questionable with this firing spree

It's a headstart for a robust charging network while other charging station companies build more to catch up
