According to LinkedIn data, Rivian, Apple, Google, and Amazon claimed the majority of ex-Tesla employees. Amazon and Microsoft recruiters also called on disgruntled Tesla employees to join their organizations in June, Grace Kay reported for Business Insider.

This bit of news was confirmed by Punks & Pinstripes. The organization tracked the LinkedIn data of over 450 Tesla employees who left the company over the past 90 days.

According to Punks & Pinstripes, only eight of the departures went to more traditional automakers such as General Motors and Ford.

LinkedIn data also revealed that ninety former Tesla employees have joined the electric-car manufacturers Rivian and Lucid Motors. While, a handful of the personnel were also claimed by the EV-battery recycling company Redwood Materials and the Amazon-backed autonomous-driving company Zoox.

More than 100 of the former Tesla staffers transferred to Amazon and Apple, the organization reported. Apple has hired top Tesla talent in the past.

Last year, the tech company snatched Tesla's former Autopilot software director Christopher Moore amid whispers of Apple's car project, code-named Project Titan.

The LinkedIn data comes only a few weeks after Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated the business would be laying off up to 3.5 percent of its overall workforce, including 10% of salaried employees. Isobel Asher Hamilton of Insider earlier reported that layoffs began within days of Musk's announcement.

The decision was made after the billionaire stated that the United States was already in the midst of a recession.
