nobody saw it coming
we're doing it for the jobs!!! (even though they're always firing thousands of ppl)
Yeah, no, this has very little to do with Tesla. Despite Musk's best efforts, Tesla still turns a profit. His job cuts are an effort to give some red meat to shareholders since the price is still ridiculously inflated and staving off a margin call is all he cars about.
This is about jobs for the Big 3, battery makers, and companies that make solar panels in the like. Tesla doesn't stand to benefit anywhere near as much as guys like Chevy and Ford do from this.
