Amid mass layoffs and cost-cutting initiatives, Elon Musk's electric vehicle company has reportedly begun taking back internship offers just weeks before the summer start dates.
“Tesla Is Reportedly Revoking Internship Offers to College Students Weeks Before Their Start Dates: ‘I Spent Thousands On Housing’”
Tesla, in their infinite wisdom, cut entire departments that these interns were going to be hired into, so it’s not surprising that those positions are being cut.
It really is a feels bad for students getting shutout of an internship at a famous company, and paying moving and housing expesnes. At least they can put “too good for Tesla” on their LinkedIn bio lol.

Which is slightly better than some places I’ve seen cut the staff and keep the interns on to run with what’s left
How about doing interviews to assign Tesla supercharger design work as takehome tests?
