  1. Elon Musk did not change his tune on the hiring freeze. The media reported wrongly what Elon Musk initially said. As Elon Musk seeks to clarify the wrong reporting by the media he is being accused of changing his mind.

  2. Lol they have thousands of people all over the place running around trying to figure out how to bankrupt Elon dont you guys think hes already smart enough an thats why hes so rich!

  3. Big rich ahole musk NEVER had any intention of buying twitter!!!! You just watch how he is now trying to give stuuupid reasons to get out of the deal!!!! Even though he is rich , his mouth is bigger than his pocket!!!!!!!

  4. Clueless commentators

  5. Musk: the total stereotype of a guy with a midlife crisis.

  6. 10% of SALARIED workers not 10% of the overall employment of the company

  7. Are you idiots serious? From the beginning, he said 10% of SALARIED workers would be let go, but that hourly employee hiring would increase. F'ing media spins everything out of context. Pathetic!

  8. how is this a change of mind when the reporting was wrong to begin with. How do you people get the jobs you have. Be better

  9. That has been my pondering wisdom from above…
    That corporate higher ups were always trying to continue their inexcusable salaries when they’re so willing to cut the backbone of their companies and consumers 🎯💕✝️🙏💯
    This has been a personal practice of mine to give hours or some salary to new hires who are honestly seeking to provide for their families 🎯💕✝️🙏💯
    Granted these were small business owners I’ve worked for, but the principle remains the same🎯💕✝️🙏💯💯
    Just enough to get them to a place where more hours are available then I’ll be able to recollect the genuine hours I’ve sacrificed for the betterment of all 🎯🎯✝️🙏💯✝️

  10. Mrs Alice is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every week with her new strategy

  11. This guy is all over the place

  12. He didn't change. He clarified.

  13. He is a dynamic thinker and it's hard for many people to keep up… he has good reasons

  14. u see Chinese government control media! and now no one cares shenzhen officer family have rolls Royce and Bentley! no one cares China corruption!

  15. 10% applied to salaried workers media didn't pay attention.

  16. Fake news by media confuses media ! READ THE EMAIL (10% of management salaried positions )

  17. This report is false. Elon never said he was laying off 10% of his work force. He said he was reducing his SALARIED staff by 10%. The reason was he believed the staff to be too top heavy. Too many people sitting around in offices. He said he wants MORE employees that are actually building the cars, so they can increase output.

    It’s unbelievable to me that these so-called professionals in the media didn’t even bother to check the story before reporting it. Totally ridiculous!

  18. The stock value doesn't matter as no need to raise money and Elon has no need to raise more money.
    All this Fox Item is nothing but trying to cover their butts for their previous failure and complete lack of understanding, let alone comprehending how Tesla operates and is structured. It is even past being an Agile Company and is structured extremely flat with very little management. They may want to look up Joe Justice Tesla Video's and Interviews ( A leader in Agile who led Agile at Tesla for a time ) – the 3 on The Best Moment in History YT channel over the basic's well.
    So with their flat structure Salaried employees are very much a minority

  19. Either sheer incompetence or an agenda by Fox, maybe even assisting in stock manipulation, short sellers have a history of spreading FUD on main stream "trusted" media

  20. Yes he said He has a bad feeling about the economy.

    Yes he said he is reducing SENIOR EXEC positions only and employ more assembly workers.

    But there is no correlation between the two statements.

    He did not say EXEC lay-offs are BECAUSE of his bad feeling.

    Tell the truth fox. This is poor integrity and disgusting misuse of your power.

  21. Fox you are spreading misinformation in this video. You are twisting different pieces of information in order to spread your own narrative and agenda

  22. He didn’t change his tune just the media was too dumb to pick up the truth.

  23. And if he didn't announce what was going on you'd accuse him of being non transparent and trying to hide things from investors/shareholders. It seems to me Fox news is upset their platform wasn't used for that announcement. In his shoes and at this time Twitter is absolutely the best platform to make this announcement.

  24. Government wants control of everything wake up people even for the green new deal, duh!!!!!

  25. December 7, 1941

    September 11, 2001

    January 6, 2021 – As Tweety said, "Remember this day forever." Republicans want to forget.

    We will never forget. God bless America.

  26. These media people are f'ing morons. Seriously. Elon didn't change ANYTHING. He's been consistent and didn't say anything different. The media failed to read the email. Good God. This news cast is an embarrassment! "Made mistake?" NO. You're the mistake. Holy crap. This is an embarrassment of a broadcast.

  27. Elon doesn't gaf about TSLA stock price… He only cares about the next step

  28. His "bad feeling" is common sense, if you are paying attention to the inflation and the direction that the nation is going under the terrible decisions of the Biden administration.
    Simple.

  29. He is helping people who want to work.
    Nothing wrong with that.

  30. one day. people are going to realize…when the media starts pushing someone out front like this…it gives them away…

  31. Was a d bag move. I’ve known a lot of people who used to work for Tesla and quit. Because he is nothing but an axe man. It’s unfortunate.

  32. Where is the SEC? This guy is manipulating the markets but no one is talking about it

  33. ELECTRIC CARS FOR EVERYBODY ! as long as you have 100k. then we will control your travel experience, we will monitor your location, you will not start your car unless we push the button….solution, militia to flatten the capitol

  34. Beyond hilarious how Navarro was arrested. Lock up that traitor!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!

  35. The women in the red dress has no idea what she is talking about 🤣

  36. Elon always says one thing. Then he turns around and changes his mind. Almost like he's day trading the stock behind the scene. 😏

  37. Any good company will let unneeded salary positions go.
