After promising to cut Teslaâs salaried workforce by around 10 percent in the next three months, Elon Musk now says he expects the number of hourly workers at the auto manufacturer to increase. The inscrutable tech tycoon says an overall headcount reduction at the firm of around 3.5 percent would be achieved, adding that the company needed to focus on solving supply-chain issues and building factories faster in order to meet demand for its cars. âWe grew very fast on the salaried side,â Musk said in an interview with Bloomberg News on Tuesday. âA year from now, I think our headcount will be higher.â News of the Tesla shakeup comes after it was revealed that one of Muskâs children is seeking to change their name in order to disown him.
