    Rumorpile: Müller Out As Volkswagen Group CEO, Diess In

      House cleaning once again

    The past few years at Volkswagen haven't been smooth sailing with the diesel scandal coming to light with various executives being fired or stepping down, sales taking a nosedive, and various fines. Matthias Müller who has been Volkswagen AG CEO since the scandal broke has been trying his best to get the company back on track. But that might not be enough for him to keep his job.

    Bloomberg and German paper Handelsblatt have learned from sources that Müller will be stepping down as CEO on Friday. Possibly taking his place is Herbert Diess, head of the Volkswagen brand. According to Reuters, the decision will take place during a meeting of Volkswagen's supervisory board.

    "Volkswagen is considering a further development of the management structure of the group which would also be associated with personnel changes in the board of management," said Volkswagen in a statement.

    Reportedly, the Porsche and Piech families - the biggest shareholders of Volkswagen - were in agreement to replace Müller.

    We'll keep you posted if any new developments pop up.

    Germany is not the USA.  Lower Saxony also plays a role.  Firing executives is probably the only way VW survives the next decade since they do need a new direction away from diesels.

    • Was interested to see what was here as many other countries have canceled their F35 contracts. Everything seems to be from around March 2025 and as such, nothing updated so hard to say what Canada will do, but considering how terrible the F35 is and the deaths of American Pilots trying to fly these overpriced pieces of Shyte, I would not blame Canada for NOT buying anymore crappy F35 fighter jets. Canada reconsidering F-35 purchase amid tensions with Washington, says minister | CBC News This story about blocking is interesting as the contract was for a full 88 F35 fighters, but only required 16 as a commitment, so Canada can shop to other countries. The problem is the UK and French fighter jets they are looking at use U.S. parts which Idiot47 could block from allowing those parts to go into the jets sold to Canada. Be interesting to see what Canada ends up doing.
