"I will no longer be interning at Tesla this summer. After a single phone call of less than two minutes, my entire plan for this summer had vanished as if it had never even existed," said a North Carolina State University student who was supposed to be interning for Tesla via his official LinkedIn post.
Caught off guard in the midst of finals, another student was blindsided by a message from Tesla, abruptly informing him that his summer internship had been rescinded.
