I did not say they're destroying the chargers. You are nevertheless underselling the potential implications IMO. These chargers are finicky. People's primary complaint with Electrify America is how hit or miss they are in actually working. People have the same complaint about Tesla, but to a lesser degree. That combined with Tesla's wider presence have made people correctly laud the quality of the market. Expansion aside, these chargers will need to be maintained, and sacking the entire division doesn't leave me hopeful they will be.

Moreover, EVs are going to just keep growing in number. Every brand now has a pretty solid EV for sale. Keeping the same number of chargers isn't helping anyone.

It's their right, but my main point is that this just further convinces me Tesla isn't serious about keeping up with EVs. Pumping money into a useless truck, chasing a dozen other fanciful projects, abandoning their world class charger network. The future is -- every other manufacturer -- it would seem.
