Musk’s Tighter Grip at Tesla Comes With More Direct Reports

There’s a new order at Tesla: The company said Monday it would eliminate 10% of its workforce, and two key executives who reported directly to CEO Elon Musk have departed.

At least 35 people now report directly to Musk, according to Tesla’s internal org chart, which The Information viewed. (See our updated Tesla Org Chart here.) The new additions include key executives overseeing energy, public policy and business development, the head of sales for North America, and a senior content specialist, Viv Hantusch, who runs Tesla’s account on X.
