your boycott may be working...

the political lying scumbag is blaming Biden, well Biden put it back into his face... Biden noted that other electric car manufacturers are on a hiring path to hire more than Musk is laying off.... IE well now the real compitition is hitting. Elon is so far behind on his truck the new electric F150 is going to destroy Musks truck massive sales potentials. I have a friend who put a down payment on one of these as his gas bill per month for his present pick up is $800.00 a month. His e truck will be zero. Ekon you are too far behind in the truck area and about to get smashed on the car stuff in 1-2 years when the big boys compete.

bye bye, then as Biden said have a good trip to the moon... Elon you are so boring...

Elon Musk orders hiring freeze, warns of job cuts at Tesla in latest leaked email


Quote:
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has directed executives to pause all hiring and prepare for job cuts, according to a leaked email that was first viewed by Reuters.

Tesla shares fell 8.5% following the Reuters report.

An additional email sent Friday to all employees, clarified his comments to executives, stating that the headcount reduction would be for salaried workers. He added that the job cuts would not apply to people building cars, battery packs or solar. Musk also said headcount would increase in those areas.

President Biden, who was asked Friday in a press briefing about Musk's economic warning, pointed to recent investment and job hiring announcements by Ford, Stellantis and Intel.

"While Elon Musk is talking about that, Ford is increasing its investment overwhelming," said Biden, who added the automaker was hiring more than 6,000 union workers at its U.S. factories. "So, lots of luck on his trip to the moon, I don't know."

Musk replied via Twitter with the message "Thanks Mr. President!" and a link to a press release from NASA announcing the space agency had picked SpaceX, another Musk company, to send astronauts to the moon.

Musk's hiring freeze directives came the same week that Musk sent employees two emails, which were also leaked, that the company was ending its remote work option. Musk told staff that if they didn't want to return to the office they should leave.

In the first email, which was later corroborated by Musk in a response via Twitter, he told employees that they must work a minimum of 40 hours in a Tesla office. A followup email entitled "to be super clear" explained that "the more senior you are, the more visible must be your presence."


Musk's latest email strikes a gloomier tone about the economy, noting he has a "super bad feeling" and hints at a coming recession. Musk tells the executives who received the email that a 10% cut of its workforce will be required.

Tesla and its subsidiaries employs 99,290 people, according to its annual filing. Those employees are spread throughout its factories and facilities, including its headquarters in Austin as well as in Buffalo, New York, Sparks, Nevada, Fremont, California, Berlin and Shanghai. Tesla also has a smattering of offices in California and Germany and retail stores in Europe, Australia and North America.

Musk’s own record of how he treats his Tesla employees in the office or factory is checkered at best. In 2020, he railed against Covid closures, calling them “fascist,” and reopened his Fremont, California, Tesla plant in violation of the state’s Covid restrictions. More than 400 workers at that Tesla factory reportedly contracted Covid between May, when it was reopened, and December that year. While many other car manufacturers that saw Covid outbreaks shut down to prevent the spread of the virus, Musk did his best to keep the outbreaks in his plant out of the news.

Tesla was sued in February by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing on behalf of current and former Black workers alleging “rampant racism” against Black Tesla employees.

Tesla was sued in February by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing on behalf of current and former Black workers alleging “rampant racism” against Black Tesla employees at the Fremont factory that went “unchecked for years.” (Tesla has stated the company "strongly opposes all forms of discrimination and harassment.”) The lawsuit follows an October 2021 case against the company in which a Black former Tesla employee was awarded $137 million for racist treatment. As detailed in that trial, Black employees were subject to racial slurs, including use of the N-word, racist graffiti in bathrooms and being told to “go back to Africa” by colleagues.

You have to wonder if Musk’s new work-in-the-office-or-be-gone policy could be a result of Tesla’s massive stock drop since April, when he began his efforts to acquire Twitter, and significantly ramped up his repeated trolling of Democrats — whom polls show are more likely to buy an electric car than Republicans.

Musk pumped (Bitcoin), but then he got DUMPED.
He's pissed, has a cash flow problem, and is now overreacting; "I vote Republican! Lay off Tesla!" ETC.

He is SO full of shit, EASY to see through, obviously continuously self-serving. Piece of trash Nazi, just like Kathy Griffin said. And his garbage heap (payola via Trump) in the sky continues to expand much to the chagrin of the entire international community. So does Bezo's. Garbage, via "Republican" (Fascist/Nazi) Trump's "presidency".

BOYCOTT MUSK!

BM constantly demonstrates here that he's opposed to (others') free speech, so we shouldn't be surprised at his tirade against Musk's $45B effort to promote it.

well this certainly could be a factor on why elon is working on the blame game, you know repeat it enough times and right wingers swear by it... then repeat it on twitter enough times because you own it same. again the electric F150 is suppose to beat his truck into production.

Are we seeing the end of Tesla since Consumer Reports gave the Ford Mustang Mach-E the best EV rating for 2022?

So - let’s think about that for a moment. What do they mean by “best”? For example:
How do they rate a faster car against a more comfortable car?...
