The clarification email Musk sent to all staff had this to say: > Tesla will be reducing salaried headcount by 10%, as we have become overstaffed in many areas

The clarification email Musk sent to all staff had this to say: > Tesla will be reducing salaried headcount by 10%, as we have become overstaffed in many areas. Note, this does not apply to anyone actually building cars, battery packs or installing solar. Hourly headcount will increase. This addresses any confusion about how two new factories could ramp if overall headcount was going to take a 10% hit. But to be fair to CNBC, they probably didn't have this context when they wrote the article and headline.
