Elon Musk to Personally Approve All New Tesla Hires In an unexpected move, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has informed employees that he will personally approve every new hire at the company, including contractors. This decision comes as Tesla continues to hire an average of 30,000 new employees per year. While Musk stated in an email obtained by Electrek that he wants to better understand the company's hiring process, it remains unclear how he plans to approve new hires at a rate that keeps up with the company's growth. This move is likely to result in a mild hiring freeze, as potential hires await Musk's approval.
Elon Musk Wants Personal Approval of Every Tesla Hire Elon Musk has informed Tesla employees that he wants to personally approve every new hire at the company. This may lead to a hiring freeze as Tesla has been hiring around 30,000 employees per year on average for the past three years. Musk's email suggests that no one can join Tesla without his email approval, including contractors. Tesla experienced a brief hiring freeze last summer and implemented a round of layoffs, but it quickly resumed hiring and ended the year with approximately 127,000 employees. The company is looking to reduce costs due to significant price reductions across its entire lineup in 2023, which could impact its leading margins on electric vehicles. Musk has used a similar strategy in the past, such as during the cost-cutting effort in 2019.
