500 lose their jobs – Elon Musk fires entire Tesla department

500 employees in the same Tesla department have had their contracts torn in half, says an internal email from the car brand.

At the end of March, Tesla announced that it will get rid of more than 10 percent of its employees worldwide.

500 of them work in the same department, where CEO Elon Musk has now fired all of them. This is about the Supercharger department.

Reuters writes that.

In the internal email, which has been leaked to the press, Elon Musk writes that, in addition to the 500 rank-and-file positions, two have also been added to Tesla's executive ranks. Namely the two bosses with the 500 men under them.

– Hopefully this makes it clear that we will have to be hardcore with the number of employees and expense reductions. While some of the management is already taking this seriously, it is not the case for everyone yet, Musk writes in the email.

In addition to the layoffs, people have already been laid off at the car factories. But it is immediately chaos. In any case, security guards had to pull the employees out in connection with a total check. Read more about it here.

But Musk isn't done firing for that reason. The car brand's entire PR team in the US has also been shut down. Elon Musk recently made that clear on his "X" profile. In fact, he owns the medium himself.

Not even very dedicated Tesla employees are protected. At the end of last week, one of the fired employees said that he otherwise slept in his car in Tesla's parking lot in order to squeeze more hours out of his job. A job he no longer has.
