The billionaire called the "huge money melting furnace" in Austin, the capital of Texas, the capital of Texas, and Berlin, Germany.

Musk said, "It's like a huge roar, that's the sound of money." He added that these factories "are now losing billions of dollars."

Musk said that since the production of this year, Tesla's so -called super factory has been difficult to increase production.

Affected by the epidemic, Tesla's factory in Austin currently only produces "a small amount" car, partly because some component supply of the battery is interrupted.

"In the past two years, it is definitely a nightmare for the interruption of the supply chain. One after another, we haven't got rid of it yet." Musk said that Tesla's most concerned is "how do we keep the factory operating so that we can pay for us to pay Give employees without going bankrupt. "

He added: "All this will be solved soon, but it needs a lot of attention."

According to Reuters, Tesla's goal is to produce 22,000 cars per week.

Last week, due to the rise in raw materials including aluminum and lithium, the company increased the price of all series in the United States by nearly 5%.

Musk said earlier this week that Tesla's paid employees will cut by 10%within three months. The world's richest man has previously stated that he has a "super bad feeling" about the economic situation, and the possibility of US economic recession is greater.
