Tesla layoffs update: California and Texas employees will see job loses as the EV maker moves to streamline its workforce
CEO Elon Musk had warned earlier that the company would cut about 10% of its global workforce. Now legal disclosures have revealed new details.
Earlier this month, Elon Musk sent a memo to Tesla employees announcing that the EV maker would cut “more than 10%” of its global workforce in order to help the company prepare for its next phase of growth. That reduction meant Tesla would let go of at least 14,000 of its 140,000-strong workforce. But as Tesla employs workers in numerous states and countries around the world, it wasn’t known which areas would be hit the hardest by the layoffs.
