Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the electric vehicle maker’s total headcount will increase over the next 12 months, but the number of salaried staff should be little changed, backtracking from an email just two days ago saying that job cuts of 10 percent were needed.
“Total headcount will increase, but salaried should be fairly flat,” Musk tweeted on Saturday in a reply to an unverified Twitter account that made a “prediction” that Tesla’s headcount would increase over the next 12 months.
Musk in an email to Tesla executives on Thursday said he has a “super bad feeling” about the U.S. economy and needed to cut jobs by about 10 percent.
Musk had previously told staff that the job cuts will not apply to workers who build cars or battery packs, according to people who received an internal memo Friday.
In an email to employees on Friday, Musk said Tesla would reduce salaried headcount by 10 percent, because the company has become “overstaffed in many areas.” But “hourly headcount will increase,” he said.
According to a Tesla U.S. regulatory filing, the company and its subsidiaries had almost 100,000 employees at the end of 2021. About 39 percent of the workers were “production line employees,” according to the company’s annual report.
Before his emails on staffing levels, Musk on Wednesday in an email to Tesla employees issued an ultimatum to return to the office for a minimum of 40 hours a week. Failure to do so would be taken as a resignation, he wrote.
Musk on Thursday said Tesla’s AI day has been pushed to Sept. 30, and said a prototype of Optimus, a humanoid robot that is a company priority, could be ready by then and could be launched next year.
