[Rumor Risk Rating]
❌ False
The claim that Tesla laid off 25% of its workforce in Q2 2024 is not supported by available information. Tesla did indeed conduct significant layoffs in 2024, but the reported reductions were around 14% of its global workforce, not 25%[4]. Initially, CEO Elon Musk announced a plan to cut about 10% of the workforce, citing duplication of roles among other reasons[3][5]. However, subsequent reports indicated that the actual job cuts exceeded the original 10% target, reaching over 14% by mid-2024[4]. There is no evidence to suggest that Tesla laid off 25% of its workforce in Q2 2024.
