Reuters GraphicsThe last time Tesla's job ads dipped by that magnitude, was in November, and the decline accelerated over the next three months, with Musk warning in January he expected a "pretty difficult recession".
The job ads provide a glimpse of trends within the company's hiring policy, but do not offer details about absolute numbers of new hires or attrition.
At that time, job ads on Tesla's U.S. website fell sharply over the next two months before rebounding in late 2022.
That shows the company continues to recruit, keeping total job ads on its website near highs.
Tesla has also removed a slightly larger number of job ads during that time, leaving it with almost 7,600 job ads across its U.S. career website.
