Tesla job cuts
Elon Musk said in the Qatari capital, Doha, on Tuesday that Tesla will cut 10% of paid employees over three months, predicting a recession likely in the near term. But production workers must be increased hourly, he said.
Jobs have already been cut over the past week or so. Two former Tesla employees who were fired this month sued the US EV giant on Sunday, saying they were not given 60 days’ notice under federal rules for mass layoffs.
Musk said supply chain problems are Tesla’s biggest concern. While supply issues may have limited Tesla’s production growth somewhat in the past year, they have had a devastating effect on the auto industry’s overall production. Ending chip shortages could lead to a surge in industrial production, particularly in electric vehicles, putting pressure on prices for Tesla and other automakers.
Tesla stock is up 7%. TSLA stock fell 6.7% last week to 650.28, breaking its lows in late May.
