I bet he is doing this out of spite. The man has been acting really strange in the past few months.

The idea of shareholders sidelining Musk is crazy. Shareholders paid him tens of billions to stay after he wanted to step down as CEO after Model 3 push. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/apr/21/elon-musk-s... Elon Musk is golden goose for Tesla shareholders.
The fact remains that Musk is the techbro Kanye West, and shareholders should sideline him.
Uh,ok... Two days ago the "Who is hiring" thread here had something like 20+ software engineering positions for Tesla. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31585021 More erratic decision making from Mr Musk. Like, I dunno, the time he told Twitter he was taking Tesla private while tripping on LSD. He needs to step aside from Tesla at this point.
That's actually pretty standard practice. An official layoff at a large company is going to be kept to a pretty tight circle until it is officially announced. It isn't uncommon for hiring managers to be unaware and only know that currently they have open head count, even if the plan in the works is to include open positions as part of the reduction in force.

When people say “no desk” what they mean is “no space in the building to allocate a desk”.
they'll buy big cafeteria-style tables and eliminate individual desks
Interested to see this go down in parallel with Elon's "everyone must be in office decree". I have multiple friends that work at Tesla and at least one of them has it in their work contract to allow remote work for at least a year (they started 2 weeks ago). Not sure how his decree will work out (though I have only heard about the employment contract, not actually seen it).
Unless your friend lives in Montana, their employment is “at-will”. Which means at any time Tesla can change their mind on any aspect of the agreement and offer you a choice between a new contract or the door.
Day by day I am getting dissolutioned by Musk

When people say "no space in the building to allocate a desk” they mean "No space to neatly put a desk." Companies have often shown repeatedly they can force desks into rooms when needed. Anyways, they can and will buy office space to put the desks when needed.
And am I the only person who has been in a startup going through a "two people per desk" period when growing rapidly?
Summer was a challenge because the A/C couldn't keep up at all.

Parking space? Ride your bike or take public transport, individual cars are not the best option. Electric buses and trains and bikes (for moving people) and electric trucks (for moving goods) are really where the future is going to be.
That’s neat, but the USA has garbage public transport. Many towns just have none. I think it’s unreasonable to expect people to use a resource that just isn’t there in most cases.
