After Elon Musk said that he has a “super bad feeling” about the economy, he started firing a whole bunch of Tesla employees.
This time, Singapore’s country head got laid off, with the Hong Kong office to oversee Singapore’s operations.
10% Workforce Reduction
Earlier in June, Elon Musk said in an email to employees that he had a “super bad feeling” about the economy and that there’ll be a 10% workforce reduction.
In a LinkedIn post on 11 June, Mr Christopher Bousigues, Tesla Singapore’s country manager, revealed that he’s been laid off.
Mr Bousigues, who relocated to Singapore for his job last year, said that he is proud of being the company’s first country manager in Southeast Asia, as well as establishing Tesla in Singapore.
Mr Bousigues thanked the people who had supported him, and explained his reasoning for revealing the termination of his role:
“When something like this happens, you wonder what is the best course of action, and whether to remain discreet or even silent about it. Ultimately that is not how I am built. Transparency and honesty are non-negotiable to me, so sharing this news felt like the right thing to do with my network.”
He added that he will probably return to Europe, since he relocated to Singapore strictly for his job.

Won’t Have Country Manager for Singapore Anymore
Insider sources told The Straits Times that Tesla Singapore won’t have a country manager anymore.
Instead, Tesla Singapore’s operations is planned to be overseen by Tesla’s Hong Kong office.
In the past year, the Tesla Singapore team and Mr Bousigues set up two showrooms, one service centre, and developed a network of seven superchargers islandwide.
Their efforts also made the Model 3 a common sight in the Singapore car landscape, and successfully launched Model Y with an overwhelming response.
