According to emails accessed by news agencies, Elon Musk is not entirely confident about the economic situation. Some reports indicate that Tesla’s output is set to plunge by more than 30% compared to earlier quarters.
A few days ago, in a mail to Tesla staff, Elon Musk threatened to fire anyone not working from the office for more than 40 hours.
How are the comments made by Elon Musk going to affect the manufacturing industry?
Recent remarks by Chief Executive of Tesla Inc, Elon Musk and activities by the company have allowed other tech and manufacturing enterprises to grow their talent pool by recruiting professional employees who are exiting/got sacked from Tesla. Even though Elon Musk is eyeing cost-cutting benefits from the layoffs, experts believe that trimming a competent workforce by almost 10% will impact Tesla’s performance in Research & Development, and Manufacturing in long term.
