Backtracking from what he said a few days ago about the need to cut ten percent of jobs, Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed that the total number of workers in his company specialized in the electric car industry will increase during the next twelve months.
However, he made it clear that the number of employees who receive salaries will not change significantly.
He also added in a tweet on his Twitter account yesterday, Saturday, that “the total number of employees will increase. But the salaried employees will remain unchanged significantly.

These comments came in response to a comment on Twitter that speculated that the number of Tesla employees would increase over the next 12 months.
It is noteworthy that an e-mail sent by Musk to executives in Tesla had revealed a few days ago that he intends to reduce the number of employees.

In it, the controversial man said: “I have a very bad feeling about the economy and I have to cut about 10 percent of the jobs at the company.”
He also explained in another message to employees last Friday, that the leading electric car company will reduce the number of employees who receive salaries by ten percent, as it has become overcrowded with employees in many areas, but at the same time he stressed that “the number of hourly workers will increase.”
Immediately Tesla shares fell 9.2 percent at the close.
It is noteworthy that the company and its subsidiaries had nearly 100,000 employees by the end of 2021, according to a disclosure it submitted to US regulators.
