09:28 AM EDT, 07/16/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Tesla (TSLA) intends to hire close to 800 employees just months after Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk ordered mass firings, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.

The available positions range from artificial intelligence specialists to service jobs, according to Bloomberg's analysis.

The hiring spree comes as Tesla's shares have gained more than $223 billion in value over the last 14 trading days, the report said.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
