<p>Tesla’s rapid expansion in recent years has led to:</p>
<div class="my-4">
 <div class="ads " data-page-type="" data-location="1">
 </div>
</div>
<ul>
 <li>a duplication of roles,</li>
 <li>overlapping job functions in certain areas.</li>
</ul>
<p>In <strong>preparation for its next phase of expansion</strong>, the company thus acknowledges the need to cut costs and increase productivity.</p>
<p>In an internal note, Musk emphasized the importance of streamlining operations to stay agile, innovative, and ready for future growth. The workforce reduction at Tesla is not an isolated event. It is part of a <strong>periodic organizational restructuring</strong> necessary every 5 years to align with future growth phases.</p>
<h2 id="h-the-job-cuts-at-tesla-some-figures">The Job Cuts at Tesla: Some Figures</h2>
<p>Tesla employed about 140,473 people according to its annual report. The job cuts mainly affect <strong>the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/de-dollarization-advocated-by-brics-a-threat-to-three-key-sectors-of-the-united-states/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">United States</a> and China</strong>. The sectors affected are sales, technology, and engineering.</p>
<p>Several service centers in the United States have experienced massive layoffs, mainly affecting sales staff and technicians. In China, <strong>more than 10% of the sales team</strong> has been informed of their layoffs.</p>
<p>The American headquarters of Tesla and the Chinese subsidiary of the group did not immediately respond to requests for comments. Local authorities in Shanghai and Beijing also did not immediately respond to requests for comment.</p>
<p>Contrary to information from the German press, Tesla Germany has refuted claims that 3,000 of its approximately 12,000 employees had been laid off. In reality, the company is currently evaluating how to implement Elon Musk’s instructions at the factory.</p>
<p>One thing is certain, Elon Musk’s decision raises concerns about the impact on employee morale, Tesla’s capacity for innovation, and its stock market listing.</p>
