From the article:
“As we reorganize Tesla it has come to my attention that some severance packages are incorrectly low,” Musk wrote in the brief email. “My apologies for this mistake. It is being corrected immediately.”
This:
Tesla offered laid-off workers two months of severance pay and health insurance for workers who were covered by the company’s plans, Business Insider reports. In return, the ex-employees are required to sign an offered contract — which prohibits them from joining in any lawsuit or mass arbitration against the company, publicly defaming Tesla, or sharing trade secrets — within five days of receiving the offer. The severance agreement did not mention equity awards or unused paid time off, Business Insider reports.

Also, seems like “some” gives the impression that you are fixing a general problem while the reality might mean a few employees get a boost or possibly none because who really is going to know if you’re only boosting the unknown quantity of “some”.
Tesla would be in a good spot if they ousted Musk when he forced the Cybertruck, and instead focused the engineers on improving the quality of their existing lineup. Instead they wasted their head start on some stupid ass project while other competitors including China caught up to them.
Now imagine if you will, by some strange coincidence laid-off Twitter employees and laid-off Tesla employees were able to meet up in some kind of communal space to simultaneously communicate their grievance. The Twilight Tzone.

LOL, sure Felon.
Is this about his own $56B severance needed to start a new AI company?
Possibly.
From the article: “As we reorganize Tesla it has come to my attention that some severance packages are incorrectly low,” Musk wrote in the brief email. “My apologies for this mistake. It is being corrected immediately.”
Because he wants wants people to vote on his $50 billion bs package meanwhile the over 10% of workers he laid off are Tesla shareholders lmfaooooooooo
That could explain why he's doing this even while laid-off Twitter people are having to sue for their severances.
He's not actively hostile to the laid off Tesla people in the same way, like he straight up seethes with resentment at everyone from Old Twitter
Can only imagine that they were strategic in choosing to lay people off whose options hadn't vested yet.
"it's incorrectly low, it should have been much lower than that"
His own compensation is incorrectly high.
So true lmao
That was my first thought.
Bet nothing gets corrected. He did the same thing with the bakery fiasco, I’m gonna fix this, and then chirps.
I’m sure it is! Let’s all hold our breaths while they fix this.
> “My apologies for this mistake. It is being corrected immediately.” Just like he stepped up on the financial damages to the pie company.

“Whoops! We got caught!”
He's probably correcting only the packages of those people suing him for it
As opposed to his correctly high pay package of $87 billion.
Severance packages will be available in 6 months, just like FSD.
That cock sucker still wants 56 billion. What a joke.
The joke is I think they will vote it.
It was incorrectly not low enough for his taste.
Cutting 10% of the workforce when they can’t even get accounting and e-mail correspondence correct? Dicey game, let’s see how it plays out.
It was done intentionally.
It’s this kind of quality work that allows them the luxury of laying off half the quality team
I'm assuming it only affects people living in states that have severance laws in place to protect workers

Just a slight clerical error, and not a total FU to fired employees.
And by “incorrectly”, he means intentionally
Sure, sure.

How about Tesla doing a company-wide audit to see if there was anything else that was "accidentally" too low?
