I can't imagine anyone that has decent prospects would agree to go back to Tesla after getting canned with those kinds of wild swings in decision making.

Announce large workforce cuts: line go up?

Announce large investment in workforce (even if it was just cut): line go up more?

I don't really get the logic that's going on the impulsive billionaire imbecile's mind.

Everyone being rehired to Tesla had better be asking for at least double for the trouble Musk put them through.

Double salary. Work from home. EZ.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Two weeks ago, Tesla CEO Elon Musk enacted widespread layoffs throughout the company, including the 500-strong team responsible for the brand's Supercharger.

Now, Tesla is looking to hire some of them back, Bloomberg reports, as Musk promises to spend $500 million expanding the network.

The layoffs also appeared to put Tesla's plan to build a more powerful charger that would benefit cars using 800 V or 900 V architectures, including Audi, Porsche, Lucid, and others, on hold.

But last week, Musk announced that Tesla would spend more than $500 million building out more chargers, just days after saying the focus would instead be on uptime at existing locations.

(At the time of the layoffs, Electrek reported that Musk got rid of the entire team because its Tinucci did not lay off enough workers on her own.)

In 2019, he decided to close all of Tesla's retail locations to pay for a cheaper version of the Model 3 sedan.

What are the job titles of the people on these teams? I would suppose physics and CS. How are those job sectors looking in terms of vacancies? I'd think that there are more workers than jobs and that this is a ploy to get less experienced people for cheaper but they're trying to rehire the same employees.

Are these really CS and physics jobs?
