– Elon Musk continues to implement layoffs at Tesla, with employees receiving notices for the fourth straight week
– Workers at Tesla are feeling on edge and looking for opportunities outside of the company due to the ongoing job cuts
– At least six executives have left Tesla over the past month as the company streamlines operations and faces slower demand for its electric cars
Elon Musk is continuing to make deep cuts at Tesla, with another round of layoff notices sent out on Sunday night. Employees have been receiving notices for four consecutive weeks, with at least seven workers sharing their experiences on social media. The layoffs have left many employees feeling anxious and on edge, with some looking for opportunities outside of the company. Musk cited a duplication of roles as the reason for the initial 10% reduction in the workforce on April 14.
Since the initial announcement, Tesla has continued to send out layoff notices affecting different teams within the company, including recruiters, the marketing team, and the Supercharging team. Musk has reportedly emphasized the need to streamline operations and reduce headcount in order to increase efficiency. Additionally, several executives have left the company in recent weeks, leaving Musk with 35 direct reports.
Despite the ongoing layoffs, Tesla had over 140,000 employees globally before the reductions began. The company has already eliminated thousands of positions at its facilities in California and Texas. The layoffs come at a time when Tesla is facing slower demand for its electric cars, as evidenced by lower-than-expected delivery numbers in April.
