As Elon Musk Cuts Staff at One of His Companies, Another Says It’s Hiring

On the same day Elon Musk’s rocket company was preparing to pare its ranks, the billionaire’s tunneling startup, Boring Co., posted a tweet for a batch of open positions. Boring Co. is soliciting applications for nearly a dozen jobs, which include tunnel engineering and software development. Space Exploration Technologies Corp., which employs more than 6,000, told staff last week that it’s cutting about 10 percent of the workforce, including 577 positions at headquarters in Hawthorne, California.
