| | | From AI data centers to electric vehicles, energy storage demand is exploding, and lithium sits at the center of it all. Morgan Stanley estimates the market will face an 80,000-ton lithium shortfall this year alone. This is just the start too. Experts project lithium demand to grow 5X by 2040. Basic economics tells the story from there: when supply can't keep up, prices rise. Fast. Great timing for EnergyX. Their patented tech can produce 3X more lithium than traditional methods in a fraction of the time. Their success has earned them a $1B valuation and investment from major players like General Motors and POSCO. Here's how they're redefining the $204B energy storage market: This isn't lab-stage tech, either. They're ready for commercial production now, with rights to 150,000 acres of lithium-rich land across North and South America. In Chile alone, those resources represent up to 9.8 million tons of lithium, a potential $1.1B+ annual revenue opportunity at projected prices. Now you can join in their potential at this pivotal moment. Become an EnergyX shareholder at $12/share through April 16, before their share price increases. |

| | | | Bonus content from AltIndex: | Tesla Is Down 22% This Year. Its Hiring Data Tells a Different Story. | TSLA is under pressure from a delivery miss and tariff headwinds. But while the stock slides, Tesla's job postings are near record highs — and the roles being filled point to a company repositioning around robotics and energy, not cars. | In March, Elon Musk told the Abundance Summit that Tesla had no plans for layoffs. "In fact, we will increase our headcount," he said. "But the output per human at Tesla is going to get nutty high." While companies across industries are cutting staff and citing AI as the reason, Tesla is using AI and robotics as the justification to hire more. And our job posting data backs him up: Tesla is currently posting around 5,200 open roles per month, close to a five-year high. | The increase in volume is notable but the actual job postings is even more interesting. When you look at which roles Tesla is actually filling, the company being built looks materially different from the one most analysts are still modeling. To understand what the signal means today, it helps to see what it got right last time. | The layoff that the data saw coming | Tesla's Job posting volume peaked at 7,335 in November 2022 during the company's global factory build-out, then contracted steadily through 2023. By the time Musk's company-wide memo landed on April 15, 2024 announcing a 10%-plus headcount cut, the job board had been signaling the slowdown for months. TSLA was already down 30% year to date; the announcement knocked it another 6% in a single session. The trough hit in May 2024 at just 128 postings — a company that had effectively stopped hiring. Since then, postings have climbed back to over 5,100 per month, approaching the 2022 peak. | | LinkedIn-tracked headcount confirms the same arc. Employee count (according to LinkedIn user profiles) dropped from around 67,500 before the layoffs to a trough near 63,800 by mid-2024, then grew steadily to approximately 84,000 by April 2026 — 25% above the pre-layoff count and still rising. | | Both job postings and employee count suggest the company is growing. The question now is what that growth is leading toward. | The Optimus signal | Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot program is no longer an R&D project buried inside an engineering org. It has its own distinct hiring pipeline, and the roles being posted indicate a program moving toward production. | Selected Optimus roles from current Tesla postings | Robotics Mechanical Design Engineer, Optimus: Palo Alto, CA Robotics Mechanical Design Engineer, Sensing, Optimus: Palo Alto, CA Mechanical Design Engineer, Robotics Soft Goods, Optimus: Palo Alto, CA Equipment Operator, Optimus (Day Shift): Palo Alto, CA
| The "soft goods" role is worth pausing on. Soft goods engineering covers the padding, skin-like materials, and wearable components of a humanoid robot. Hiring for that function signals a level of physical design detail associated with pre-production. The equipment operator posting with a day shift designation points to manufacturing line activity, not a lab prototype. | Energy as a parallel business | Tesla Energy is being staffed as a standalone operation. The Megafactory in Brookshire, Texas has its own production planners and project coordinators. Supply chain roles are segmented by energy-specific components: LFP batteries, power electronics boards, APAC logistics, battery recycling. There is a dedicated "Recruiter, Energy." Tesla Energy posted record revenue of $3 billion in Q3 2024 on Megapack deployments. A business unit builds its own recruiter and supply chain apparatus when it expects to scale, not when it is a side project of the car division. | Selected Energy roles from current Tesla postings | Supply Chain Manager, LFP Palo Alto, CA Supply Chain Manager, Energy PCBA Palo Alto, CA Supply Chain Manager, Battery Recycling Palo Alto, CA Production Planner, Megafactory Brookshire, TX Project Coordinator, Megafactory Brookshire, TX Global Supply Manager, Energy Logistics, APAC Sydney, AU Recruiter, Energy Austin, TX
| Will the market reward the transformation? | TSLA recovered strongly from its 2024 lows, closing 2024 at $402.68 and hitting an all-time high of $498.83 in December 2025. That re-rating was driven largely by enthusiasm around AI and autonomy. As of today, the stock trades near $349, down roughly 22% year to date, weighed down by a Q1 delivery miss and tariff-driven macro pressure. The EV narrative alone has proven insufficient to hold those gains. | The hiring data argues that Tesla is not in the business of selling that narrative anymore. The company is staffing two growth vectors that the market has not fully priced: a robotics program at production-stage development, and an energy storage business with its own dedicated supply chain and recruiter infrastructure. Neither of those shows up cleanly in vehicle delivery numbers or quarterly EV revenue. | The real question is not whether Tesla’s robotics and energy businesses are big today. It is whether investors are still valuing Tesla like a car company while the company is already building toward something much larger. That is why the job postings matter. In April 2024, they gave investors an early signal before the official news arrived. Today, they appear to be sending another message: Tesla’s next chapter may already be underway, even if Wall Street has not fully priced it in. | Track Tesla's hiring signals on AltIndex | AltIndex monitors job postings, LinkedIn employee counts, web traffic, and other alternative data signals for thousands of companies.
