It cannot have been a threat to staff because it was never uttered by Elon to the staff. It cannot have been a way to influence public/shareholder sentiment because it was never said in public.
If he ever did say it, it was allegedly said to other investors in a private setting. More than likely it's a fabrication by someone who hates Elon (as unlikely as that sounds) laundered into the media as from an anonymous source.

- simondotau 4y agoThere are tonnes of rumours being spread at the moment so I wouldn't take any of them seriously until they're confirmed.

Edit: apparently this was “trauma / shock actors” (whatever that means) but it was still picked up by CNBC.
