Tesla layoffs impacted nearly 12% of its Texas staff

• Tesla has laid off 2,688 workers at its Austin factory, nearly 12% of the site's staff.
• This is likely part of larger workforce cuts across Tesla that Elon Musk announced last week.
• The layoffs have also impacted workers at Tesla's other US and international locations.

Elon Musk's focus on Texas didn't stop him cutting jobs in the Lone Star State.

Tesla laid off 2,688 workers at its Austin factory, according to a regulatory filing under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. The WARN Act requires most companies with more than 100 employees to provide 60 days of notice before a large-scale layoff.
