Gold Rush<\/h2>

One billionaire's \"super bad feeling<\/a>\" about the global economy is another billionaire's hiring spree.<\/p>

In the wake of Tesla's latest round of widespread layoffs<\/a>, several big tech companies — including both Microsoft and Amazon, led respectively by vocal Tesla CEO Elon Musk nemeses Bill Gates<\/a> and Jeff Bezos<\/a> — are snatching up ex-Tesla employees left and right, Business Insider<\/em> reports<\/a>.<\/p>

OMW<\/h2>

According to LinkedIn data<\/a> sourced by a private network of Fortune 500 executives called Punks & Pinstripes, rival electric vehicle manufacturers Rivian and Lucid picked up 90 of 457 recent Tesla departures between them.<\/p>

Amazon and Apple — the latter of which has been trying to get a secretive and cursed autonomous car project<\/a> off the ground for years — snagged 51 former Tesla employees each. Others migrated to other tech giants including Meta and Microsoft.<\/p>

WFH<\/h2>

The hiring sweep comes on the heels of Musk's anti-remote work decree<\/a>, after which several companies — Amazon and Microsoft in particular, according to Insider<\/em><\/a> — began to cast some pretty targeted recruiting nets.<\/p>

\"If the Emperor of Mars doesn't want you, I'll be happy to bring you over to [Amazon Web Services],\" read a simmering LinkedIn post by Zafar Choudhury, a recruiter at Amazon, in response to the work from home drama, as quoted by Insider<\/em>.<\/p>

The surprise Tesla layoff announcement came just a few days later.<\/p>

The EV company has had a rotten year so far. Tesla's controversial<\/a>, semi-automated driving tech<\/a> is facing a massive government recall<\/a>, while Musk is trying to rein in spending, referring to the company's factories as \"gigantic money furnaces<\/a>.\"<\/p>

Clearly, Tesla's got plenty of stuff<\/a> to figure out — and its competitors are reaping the benefits.<\/p>
