Tesla To Lay Off 10% Of Their Workforce

Tesla is set to reduce its workforce by over 10 percent, impacting at least 14,000 employees globally, as the company responds to its first decline in year-over-year vehicle deliveries since 2020.

According to an internal email from CEO Elon Musk, the layoffs are a strategic move to streamline operations and prepare for new phases of growth amidst challenging market conditions.

Additionally, Tesla has canceled plans to develop the anticipated $25,000 Model 2, choosing instead to focus on a new robotaxi project.

A Social Media App Built Around Talk

Naval Ravikant, founder of AngelList, relaunched Airchat this week — a social media app designed around audio interactions rather than text.

The revamped version, co-developed with former Tinder exec Brian Norgard, emphasizes voice communications to enhance user connections, asserting that natural voice can bridge gaps that text-based media cannot.

Airchat, which is currently invite-only, ranks #27 in social networking on Apple’s App Store.

Developer Riley Testut identified iGBA as a clone of his earlier open-source emulator, GBA4iOS, which conflicted with Apple’s intellectual property rules.
