Elon’s Bloodbath Continues: Tesla Cuts 600+ More Jobs in California
Breitbart ^ | 05/20/2024 | LUCAS NOLAN

Elon Musk’s Tesla is continuing to lay off employees as the company has slashed an additional 600 jobs across its California facilities, affecting a wide range of positions from factory workers to engineers.

CNBC reports that Tesla has been grappling with a series of challenges that have led to multiple rounds of layoffs over the past month. The latest round of layoffs, reported in a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act filing obtained by CNBC, impacted a wide range of positions, from entry-level roles to directors, spanning various departments such as factory workers, software developers, and robotics engineers. This move comes as Tesla faces weakening demand for its electric vehicles and increased competition in the market.

Elon fan boys flogging SpaceX won’t drop by. They seemed to have forgotten about the hyperloop and the Boring company as well.

This is less about the overall economy than the collapsing demand for impractical electric vehicles.

What’s hitting Tesla the hardest right now is they’re not getting the repeat customers they need to establish a long term foothold in the market.

EV’s are simply a fad and the fad, ironically, is running out of gas.

“This is less about the overall economy than the collapsing demand for impractical electric vehicles.”

No. It is about sales in China where the Chinese are rapidly flooding their market with subsidized EVs.

Funny that reality doesn't align with Sec. Grandholm's declarations :

"These developments are part of an inevitable shift toward a thriving electric transportation sector – a shift that American automakers and battery manufacturers are already carrying forward. The Biden-Harris Administration's industrial policy for clean energy is helping to deliver this transition, lowering costs for American families while strengthening America's manufacturing sector and securing the nation's energy independence."

Is ‘bloodbath’ going to be the word of the year for 2024?

BB headline writer saw a downtick in clicks with old click-bait words.

What is hurting Tesla most is cheap subsidized cars in China.

Tesla employs over 140k people.....600 isn’t a big number really....

Sounds like he’s just shifting labor to better locations.

LOL

Elon has said, more than once, he is bailing on Calif.

So, cutting the workforce, one he has already said would be zeroed out is a ‘bloodbath’?

Another worthless ‘news’ story.
