Elon Musk, founder and chief engineer of SpaceX speaks at the 2020 Satellite Conference and Exhibition March 9, 2020 in Washington, DC. Musk answered a range of questions relating to SpaceX projects during his appearance at the conference.
Before the billionaire made this decision, his auto company accepted around 100,000 applications nationwide back in 2021. This is the reason why experts think that Tesla will also lay off thousands of workers before 2022 ends.
Musk ordered his Tesla executives to stop hiring new workers since the economy of the United States looks "super bad."
He announced that they plan to remove more than 10% of Tesla's employees to maintain revenues. But, it seems like the latest scenario of Tesla is quite different from what Elon says.

These alleged new Tesla workers include fire alarm technicians, materials handlers, and product specialists.
While others are disappointed with Telsa's ongoing layoffs, these newly hired individuals seem to be rejoicing.
"I'm happy to share that I'm starting a new position as Quality Engineer," said LinkedIn user S. Dogukan UZ via his official post.
He said that he is now working at Tesla Gigafactory Berlin.
Previously, Tesla removed around 200 employees from its Autopilot division. Aside from this, the EV maker also closed an entire office in San Mateo, California.
Because of this, many staff working for Tesla are really disappointed with the massive layoffs, especially since it is not based on their performances.
This means that even if they are performing efficiently in their jobs, they can still be removed by Tesla.
Tesla Cancels Hiring Events in China
According to CNBC's latest report, Tesla canceled its hiring events in China.
These online recruitment events were supposed to happen last June 16, June 23, and June 30. However, since Musk said that Tesla is already overstaffed, they need to halt its hiring operations.
Regarding the alleged hiring activities of Tesla, the giant automaker hasn't released any statement to confirm that the posts appeared on LinkedIn.
If this is true, then it would be quite unfair for those long-time employees facing uncertainty in their positions.
Meanwhile, Tesla Gigafactory Shanghai was expected to be halted to make way for a major facility upgrade.
Recently, Elon Musk claimed that he is losing billions of dollars on Tesla Gigafactory Berlin and Texas.
