Laid Off Tesla Worker Sells Home Will Live In His Car For 5 Years To Get Back On His Feet Homeless | The Millionaire Morning Show w/ Anton Daniels

➡ The Millionaire Morning Show w/ Anton Daniels talks about how a former Tesla employee named Nico Morello, who was recently laid off, has started a YouTube channel to share his experience. He was surprised by the sudden layoff, which he discovered when his account was deactivated and his manager confirmed the news. Despite the initial shock and disappointment, Nico is using this as an opportunity to create content and connect with others, turning a challenging situation into a chance for growth.

➡ The speaker shares his experience of living in his car while working at Tesla to save money and avoid a long commute. He found it challenging but beneficial, as it allowed him to sleep more and save on costs. Despite the difficulties, he plans to continue living in his car for the next five years to save money and invest in the stock market, aiming for financial independence. He views his recent job loss as a potential positive turning point in his life.

➡ The speaker is tired of the financial struggle and plans to sell their house and live in their car to save money. They’ve lost their job and can’t afford their mortgage, so they feel they have no choice. They plan to document their journey on YouTube and Instagram, hoping their authenticity will attract followers. However, they acknowledge this lifestyle isn’t for everyone.

Lately, we’ve been getting a lot of reports of layoffs, layoffs all week, every day. All right. It’s completely different than what you see from your Chicago people in that. The people over there in Chicago, they get into the bag. The police officers, they’re making a quarter million dollars a year. They running it up. They’re not worried about what nobody else is talking about. And so as a result, everybody is getting to the money, except some of the people that’s getting laid off. Now, this guy, I believe that I had seen him on a show like a MSNBC or a Fox News as a report, as one of the people that had been complaining about the fact that Tesla laid him off.

And I’m not sure if he’s over, I think he’s over in Texas, but I don’t know we gonna find out his name is or he decided to start a YouTube channel. And so his YouTube channel name is Nico Morelo. Nico Morello. That is his home. He got the for sale sign apparently up on it. He scratched off the numbers, put his two teslas up there. And he’s basically saying he’s a Tesla worker. He got laid off. And he’s basically talking about his experience on the day that he got laid off. I’m interested in seeing it. I want to see what this happened.

This actually just came out recently, within the last couple of weeks. And so I want to go ahead and review this, make sure you all hit a like for the algorithm, subscribe to the channel, turn on your notifications. Also, if you’re not a part of the Patreon link is in the description as well as pin to the top of the chat. Before we get to it, I want to recognize a couple of people. First of all, I want to recognize Brent Morris says, shout out to your sponsorship couple aquaponics on me. Shout out to Brent Morris with the 20 ball.

I appreciate you, Brent. And then last but not least, my girl Molly. Y’all are burning her drink. She ain’t know it. Molly, you so gorgeous. You so awesome. You have a sweet spirit within you. And you made sure that you looked out for me. And you said lunch on me for me. And misses Daniels. Thank you, Molly. Let me give Molly that, that round of applause, Molly. Thank you so much.

You are one of the sweetest people that I’ve seen, and you support us on multiple different platforms.

So thank you, Molly. Make sure you all hit a like for the algorithm. And let’s get to it. What is going on, guys? My name is Nico Merillo and I was previously. Let me also say that he’s been able to run up like 9000 subscribers on YouTube. So shout out to him for using this as an opportunity to monetize and then create his channel. You always can get. Listen, sometimes blessings come out of some of the things that you go through. A production supervisor at Tesla and I was recently laid off on April 15, Monday, and yeah, it was a very shocking and different layoff process than other companies.

But first of all, I just want to say thank you for everybody that has reached out to me on LinkedIn. When I posted about my layoff process, there was a lot of people that reached out. Let me just read in through the LinkedIn post. So on April 15, Monday at 04:30 a.m.. I opened my laptop, account was deactivated. I thought it was another it problem, so I didn’t really think anything of it. So in the morning I usually commute. My commute starts around 430. I had to wake up at 04:00 because I live in the Central Valley.

And then pretty much from 430 all the way till almost six, I’ll get to work. So it’s a long commute. So you got a lot of playlists that you can play, listen to a lot of podcasts and all that. So, you know, putting it on autopilot helps out a lot when you drive a Tesla. But at 05:00 in the middle of my commute, so I checked my emails while on autopilot. So the email when y’all create y’all channels or y’all start to become content creators, when you start to record yourself, you’ll start to see some of the things that you say and want to change.

Eventually, you know, sometimes you’ll hear yourself and you’ll be like, man, I don’t like the way I sound, or I say this word a lot. He says, uh, a lot. And I think that is probably just because he’s a new, newer content creator. And so he’s not used to being able to communicate effectively or he’s not used to hearing himself speak. He’s only used to talking naturally without having to worry about whether or not it’s going to be criticized or not. But he definitely says a lot of times, so we just gonna have to get used to that with this.

And that has nothing to do with the video itself. However, I just want to point that out for you. Content creators or people that’s not content creators. If you want to learn how to improve your communication skills gradually and over a period of time, record yourself and listen back to what it is that you said to yourself. Red. Unfortunately, as a result, your position has been eliminated by this restructuring. So immediately after that, I was like, is this, like, real? And then I texted my manager, and I was like, hey. I was like, what is this? And then he text me back, everyone got it? We’ll get more info later.

And I was at 05:05 a.m. So it’s kind of like. I was kind of, like, in the dark of, like, hey, what’s really going on? And by the time I parked. So 05:50 a.m. Tried to badge in, and the security guard took my badge and told me I was laid off. So by 550. Hey, homie, got the message. He still went up there and said that he tried to badge in. First is denial, then it’s acceptance. And then you have to make adjustments. First is denial. Then you accept your fate, and then you got to start making adjustments.

A part of that adjustment may be a little bit of crying, it may be a little bit of duress, may feel some type of way, but obviously he’s transitioning well because he started a YouTube channel, and hopefully he’s making some profits as a result of it. Make sure y’all go over there and check him out. His name is Nico Morelo. I was like, in my car. Usually I get all my stuff ready of, like, you know, my backpack, my water bottle, make sure my laptop’s in there, it’s charged, and all that. You know, your pre game stuff, right? Like, when you play for, you know, any type of sport, you make sure all your stuff is together, right.

But I was like, this is kind of fishy. Let me. Let me try to badge in real quick and see if this thing worked, like, because you never know if this thing real or just weird scam. So, yeah, I tried to badge in, and then this big, six foot three, he was, like, 300 pounds big, super big guy, and, you know, like, look like a bouncer. And then he was like, hey, let me see your badge. And then he was like, oh, yeah, yeah. You’re part of the layoffs, man. Sorry. And I was like, I was like, okay.

And then, like, I just. I just turned around, and then I had to walk out. And then we call this the walk of shame, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, we do. The walk of shame is you don’t really know what to do or how to respond. It’s an awkward exchange, whether it be with your manager or security. You don’t know whether to be mad or just to keep moving and just get in your car and put your head down. Everybody know that you’re getting laid off. You then just. Just lost your income. And so even though they’re used to it, because it’s a bunch of other people that’s gonna go through it, too, you still got to do that walk of shame.

And that walk of shame, it’s a thousand different things that go through your mind when you walking back to the car. Man, I don’t know what I’m gonna do. What is gonna happen? And my bills is due. I shouldn’t have went out the other night and tricked off on that chick. Yeah. It’s a lot of thoughts that go through your head when you’re going through that. That moment. It really, like, hit me when I was in my car, because I sat in disbelief, like, see, this is real. And then as time went on, like, a few more minutes, it was, like, hitting me.

You get mad, and you’d be like, man, they could have told me this before I left for work, and I done drove all the way out here, and, you know, you start being in denial really hard. And then I got out of my car and just look left and right, and I was just like, damn, this is, like, I spent five years here. Like, this is a. This was a long time. And so, yeah, green mouth green. Got another one. Walking down the green mile. Yes, sir. Yes, siree. Got a green mile. Taking that walk of shame, bro.

I’m telling you, it’s something else, fellas. If you never did the walk of shame before, pray that you never have to. Actually builds good character. I camped in that parking lot, like, for a whole year in 2023, and it was. It was tough because, you know, the whole situation with camping in the model y, it’s pretty cool. You pretty much get the whole back seats to lay down, and then, like, you could put a whole bed back here. That’s what I did. And, you know, I pretty much had everything laid out here. The bed, the pillows, and all that.

To go to the bathroom, though, is really hard to use the restrooms in the middle of the night inside the factory. So I gotta badge in, use bathroom and come back. That was kind of annoying. And also had to take showers at the facility, which then required me at the end of the shift, I would go eat in the break room, microwave my dinner, and then I would go take. I would go here in my car, get all my stuff, go back in the facility, shower. In some events, sometimes you forget your towel or you forget your toothbrush or you forget your toothpaste, or you forget deodorant, and you got to make trip all the way back.

And that thing sucks. But it did help me get a full seven to seven and a half hours of sleep, which was very nice, versus take an hour and a half commute back home, which then you have to do it again to come back to work. So that’s why I didn’t want to do that in 2023. And I just kept in my car and said, you know what? I don’t want to do the whole driving total of 3 hours, basically. Yep. Because hour and a half to go from home to work and then from work to home, you gotta be in California, like 3 hours.

So I was like, just camp in the car. See how it works? And so, yeah, that’s what I did. I worked the alternate work schedule, which was 06:30 a.m. To 06:30 p.m. But then work required sometimes because I’m a salary, it required me to stay a little bit over. So, like, seven or 07:30 p.m. So, I mean, by the time you’re done with a work shift, you do not want to drive an hour and a half again. So ranting on, it’s pretty much what happened, but, yeah, so my whole thing with the whole thing with this happening, right.

I was just for paid transparency, I was making $120,000 if you include the stocks and all that. Right? $120,000 as a production supervisor at Tesla when I started in 2019. It’s not a bad salary. It’s not a bad salary, especially if you’re chilling and you sleeping in your car and you’re minimizing costs. And he had an electric vehicle, which meant that he prevented himself from having to spend a whole lot of money on grant, on gas. Now, again, I’m assuming that this is over in California, 120 bands a year for one person. That’s not a bad.

That’s not a bad do. I was a production associate, so it was entry level. And, you know, I have a business degree from San Jose state, and I’m not gonna lie, it was kind of demoralizing. Kind of like going into entry level job. Yes, it was Tesla 2019 at the time. But, like, I was kind of distraught because, man, I mean, you’re just doing the basic minimum entry level, you know, placing parts onto something, and then. And that’s it. Like, it wasn’t very, like, challenging, hard to do. It was so easy that, you know, anyone can do it.

So my mindset robot that they bout to make can do it, right? It’s like, hey, I’m gonna go in here, and I’m gonna do my best. No matter what, no matter the results, and I’m gonna do my best. Every single time I am in here, I’m gonna try to get my name out there. I’m gonna do my best, because that is what I represent, is, like, I try to do my best no matter what. And it’s like, sometimes they take it to a level where it’s like, you know, people are like, damn, that’s different. Right? Like, that’s meaning person there ever was.

Right? 2019 went entry level job after that. Yeah. I have nothing against Tesla. It’s, like, very good company. I liked. I like Tesla. Like, I like the car I like. I like the brand I like. So I’m not gonna, you know, bash on them at all. Like, it’s actually provided I would actually hire place. Really, really good attitude. You know, I have a. Have a home and, you know, all that. Pretty big home. Yeah, yeah, we’re. We’re selling the house, sell the furniture, and then my next plan is to actually live in this car. So. Hey, no, let me look at this plan again.

Jesus Christ. Uh, uh. Do he got kids? Did he say he had a woman that he was with? Did he say we sell him? Let me back up. So, yeah, yeah, we’re selling the house. Yep. It’s a we. So he must got a girl. He must got a girl. Yep. Sell the furniture. And then my next plan is to actually live in this car. So that’s the fastest way to get yourself out of a relationship. Ask the fastest way to be able to get yourself a bottle of a relationship. Hey, baby, we about to go and live.

You want to test your girl? Y’all want to test your girl? What up, Connie? Nah, nah, nah, nah. You want to test your girl, babe? We got to get rid of everything. We got to live in our car for a little while. Just ask her. It ain’t even got to be true. Ain’t got to be true. If you want to know what it’s like to be broken up with that fast, tell her a baby. We got to leave the confines of this crib, and we don’t have to live in our car for the next five years.

Five years unhoused homeless. Five years. Taking showers at your gym. Going to wash up and use the bathroom at Wally World. Walmart getting bused down in the backseat of the Tesla. Sheesh. Sheesh. Oh. He said his next move is to do it for five years. Five years. That’s a lot. That’s a lot to ask. That is a lot to ask. I can’t live. I can’t live in my car, let alone for five years. I could do it for, like, five days. I mean, I’m driving somewhere across the country or something like that. Five years. That’s a long time.

Living in this car for about five years. And the reason why for that is because I’m tired of. Tired of this. Tired of this system, right? Jesus Christ. I live in California, right? Right? Rent is out of a super hot. Get out of California. I keep telling y’all, get the hell out of California, bro. Get out of California. If y’all gotta live in y’all car for five years in order to be a mash, gonna need to leave, bro. Start a new life somewhere else in the middle of the country. California is not where it’s at. All y’all homeless, parking on the side of the street in a parking lot at Home Depot.

I mortgage to get a house super high. So you got your housing payments above a thousand for sure. Like, no matter, no matter what, it’s gonna be like a thousand around. And then you got utilities, you got electric, you got water, you got garbage, you got wi fi, you got all these type of bills, man. And then, like, I remember, see how you start having this epiphany when you get laid off? You see how you start having this epiphany when you get laid off? This is the first stage of grief. This is the first stage of grief as you just start thinking about all of the possibilities and how you wasted the money and, man, this is expensive.

It’s the first stage of grief, bro, going in line by line, because my little brother was like, hey, man, why don’t we just. I’m just gonna live in my car. Oh, so it must his. We must be his little brother. I’m assuming. I’m assuming that the we is his little brother. I was like, hey, wrong. Like, I could. I mean, when I went through that excel sheet, because I have a budget, it was like, this thing’s real. You can literally save, like, almost $2,000 a month and put it towards the stock market. And in five years, you could be financially independent.

And that’s what I want to do. I’m fired up of, like, a. Like, getting laid off might have been the best thing that’s ever happened. To me, because I think that this is gonna light the fire and the spark of, like, hey. Like, this is a. You got to get out of this rat race. Like, the. The rent is, like, so high is, like, now you give him financial advice, it’s a second stage of grief. You know what? We’re gonna go against the system. We’re gonna go against the system, and that’s gonna last about a good three months, and then you gonna get tired, and it’s gonna be like, man, it’s rough out here.

It’s hard out here for a pimp. When you trying to get that money for the rental way you do that is a. You’re gonna live in your car, and then it’s gonna be. It’s gonna take one situation, a hard and long fought journey. But, you know, I’m with it. I’m with it because I’m tired of it, of paying the rent and all that. And then, look, I lost my job, and then, like, I can’t do the mortgage. Like, all that, right? Like, we got to sell the house. We have no choice, right? So it’s like, I don’t want to be in this position again.

Like, it’s just, um. Yeah, it sucks, right? So, yeah, that’s. That’s where the thing is headed. Selling the house on the furniture and then live in the car for five years, and then I’m done. Like, financially independent, right? I have enough money to be financially independent, and unless you just blow up on YouTube or something like that. So that’s where the trend is going. That’s where. That’s the next plan. Right? I’m gonna vlog it all on YouTube and on Instagram. Go ahead and, you know, subscribe to the channel if you haven’t. I’ll go ahead and check out again.

Nico Marillo. Let’s see what his journey is. I think that being authentic with your journey is awesome. It’s a great idea, being awesome, especially when you. You facing some kind of tragedy. People can relate to you. They try to figure out how it is that they can buy into your brand, and so you just got to give them a reason to. But, yeah, that’s a little much. A bit much. Living in my car, band life and a Tesla. It’s not my cup of tea. Guy said, that’s not for you, Anton. That’s not for..
