Pretty sure SpaceX and Tesla are two separate companies. In addition, Tesla is a public company (you can buy stock) while SpaceX is private. We know Elon Musk has a significant position and presence in both companies though.
Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk has revealed that the company will soon need more than 10,000 employees in the Austin area.
The electric car maker had originally estimated it would create over 5,000 jobs at its rising factory in Travis County, but Musk tweeted on March 31 that the company will actually double that estimate by next year.
"Over 10,000 people are needed for Giga Texas just through 2022!" Musk tweeted, sharing a screenshot of an Austin Business Journal story published earlier this week about the company's hiring plans, including comments from Chris Reilly, Tesla's director of recruiting and workforce development.
Manufacturing experts have told the ABJ for months that the car manufacturer could create 15,000 jobs because of the scope of Tesla's planned operations. The company has said it will offer an average annual salary of about $47,000.
Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) plans to produce its Model 3s, Model Y SUVs, Cybertrucks and Semi tractor-trailers in Central Texas. The factory will also host a battery cell manufacturing unit.
Huge news. Went from 5k to 10k. That complex is gonna be one of the biggest in the world when fully built out. Still waiting to find out what is going to be built west of 130. Speculation and rumors are running rampant as to what they are preparing to build at the location.
11:50 mark you can see them clearing land which is on the other side of SH 130. I can't find it at the moment but someone did a post a description of the recent land purchase from Musk across from GigaTexas.
Elon Musk could be planning another facility across the toll road from the Tesla Inc. gigafactory rising in eastern Travis County. But instead of making more room for his electric car company, multiple sources told Austin Business Journal that land has been set aside for his space exploration company, SpaceX.

The San Antonio City Council has approved an economic incentives package for a manufacturer of lithium-ion battery electrodes said to be a Tesla Inc. supplier.
Saueressig Engineering, a division of Pittsburg-based Matthews International Corp. (Nasdaq: MATW), announced plans last month to build a factory on San Antonio's East Side pending the approval of economic incentives, which came unanimously during the City Council meeting April 1. According to prior San Antonio Business Journal reporting, it would be the North American headquarters of Saueressig.
The incentives package will give Saueressig a 75% tax abatement on its property over a 10-year period beginning in January 2022. In exchange, the company has promised to hire 50 people at a minimum salary of $50,000 by 2025. The company has also promised to invest $9 million upgrading the property at 4338 Profit Drive where it plans to set up shop.
The new factory "places San Antonio in a great position to draw additional electric car part suppliers to our community and further develop our automotive and advanced manufacturing capabilities," Mayor Ron Nirenberg said. "That's not just a San Antonio priority, it’s a regional economic development priority."
