Elon Musk Approves Tesla's Elite Delta Force To Build Cars Faster than GM, Toyota and Ford

Tesla CEO Elon Musk gave his seal of approval about Tesla’s “25 Guns” elite engineers stressing they were instrumental to the success of Giga Berlin. These engineers are like Tesla’s Delta taskforce, who do everything to ensure Tesla’s Gigafactories do the best job they can, better than the likes of GM, Toyota, Ford and RAM.

Owen Sparks, who reports on the latest in energy and electric cars, tweeted, saying “The 25 Guns are rumored to be an elite group of Tesla
engineers that report directly to Elon Musk. They are brought in to solve the most challenging problems, especially when time is of utmost importance. Basically, they are the Delta Force of engineers. I would love to hear more about what they do.”

To this, Elon Musk replied and wrote “They were instrumental to the success of Giga Berlin.”

The 25 Guns task force engineer is an official job posting on Tesla’s career website. And qualities team members must have include a “can-do attitude and maniacal sense of urgency.”
