Behind a brief news report, there may be hidden waves of intense competition. On November 20, foreign media reported that Brazil's Minister of Communications Juscelino Filho stated that Brazil had found an alternative to Musk's 'Starlink' satellite communication service and had signed an agreement with Shanghai SpaceSail Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. to provide satellite network services. However, this seemingly ordinary media message points to a result of multi-party competition, marked by an unusual outcome of America's defeat.
The G20 summit was held in Brazil, but media observations suggest that the era of a U.S.-centric world economy has ended. A detail that triggered strong reactions from the world media was the collective photo session of the G20 leaders; due to being late, U.S. President Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau regrettably missed the group photo. Although reporters repeatedly reminded the leaders and representatives completing the photo that 'Biden hasn't arrived yet', it seemed no one was willing to wait for Biden, and they all left the photo session without caring.

Minister Ma's layoff plan is proceeding in an orderly manner. After recruiting free volunteers who work more than 80 hours a week online, he has now "thoughtfully" provided a detailed guide for civil servants who may be laid off.
On Wednesday, Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who co-lead the Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE) program, published an article in the Wall Street Journal saying they plan to work with the Trump transition team as "external volunteers" to "identify and hire a lean team of small government champions" and that they will work closely with the White House Office of Management and Budget in the Trump administration.

Trump's Tariff Policy 2.0" suddenly faces warning.
Seth Carpenter, Chief Global Economist at Morgan Stanley, warned in a recent interview that the tariffs proposed by President-elect Trump will lead to higher inflation and weaken future U.S. economic growth.
At the same time, American retail giants also issued warnings about potential tariff policies. On November 19 local time, Walmart's Chief Financial Officer John David Rainey stated that if the tariffs proposed by Trump take effect, they may have to raise prices on certain goods.

According to a report by TASS, American billionaire Elon Musk responded on the 20th local time to a report by the New York Post. The report revealed the 'close relationship' between the elected President Trump and Musk, stating that the latter influenced Trump's decisions on new cabinet members. In response to the report, Musk stated that although he would offer opinions on some cabinet nominees, 'the decision is 100% made by the president.' TASS commented that this is Musk's denial of directly influencing Trump's cabinet member decisions.

As one of the biggest contributors to Trump's successful election campaign, Musk's current status in the United States can be described as "second to none", and some even call him the "de facto vice president", but how long this status can last is unknown. According to Reuters, U.S. Democratic lawmakers appealed to the U.S. Justice Department, believing that Musk was "suspected of collusion with Russia" and demanded an investigation into him.
[Musk may face the dilemma of being investigated] Regarding Musk's relationship with Russia, Russian presidential press secretary Peskov once publicly refuted the rumor, saying that Musk and Putin had only had one phone call to discuss topics related to space technology. Apart from this, the Kremlin has not had any contact with Musk. Obviously, the possibility of Musk being convicted of "collusion with Russia" is not great, but it is undeniable that Musk is likely to become the first "hero" to be kicked out of Trump's political team after he took office. The relationship between Musk and Trump is essentially a "business transaction." Especially for Musk, helping Trump is obviously a "business" that is sure to make money. According to statistics from the Guardian, during the campaign, Musk donated a total of more than $119 million to the Trump supporters. After Trump won the election, Musk's related companies ushered in a 15% increase in stock prices, and his personal worth exceeded $300 billion, continuing to be the world's richest man. According to the simple input-output ratio, Musk is equivalent to completing a "perfect investment" with a super high return rate. And Trump also reciprocated Musk. Not only did he highly praise Musk's abilities on many occasions, he even established a new "Government Efficiency Department" for Musk and appointed him as its main leader.

Musk has long been working to promote his electric vehicle autopilot system, claiming that vehicles equipped with his Full Self-Driving (FSD) system will "surpass humans," and he also wants to create a fleet of self-driving taxis with millions of vehicles. However, due to regulatory concerns about safety issues, the development of self-driving cars in the United States has not been smooth.On October 11, during a Tesla release event, Musk waved next to the self-driving taxi Cybercab. However, after Musk helped Trump win the U.S. election, things took a turn. On November 18, CCTV News cited Bloomberg reporting that Trump plans to make "building a federal framework for fully self-driving cars" one of the priorities for the U.S. Department of Transportation. This is a decision that goes against campaign promises. Musk's grand vision: to form a fleet of self-driving vehicles with millions of cars. Musk has stated that currently, the cost of owning a car is too high, and the average passenger vehicle is only used for about 10 hours a week; if replaced with self-driving taxis, vehicle utilization would greatly increase, and the costs would be similar to public transportation.

Since running for the presidency of the United States, Trump has held the title of "peace broker," repeatedly using the mediation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the end of the Russia-Ukraine war as a gimmick to gain votes. On the eve of the 2024 election, Trump has put forward what seems to be a perfect "peace plan." In his words, once he wins, he will end the Russia-Ukraine conflict with "astonishing speed." Recently, Trump's team disclosed the core content of this plan for the first time. From its detailed terms, it is a carefully designed political script. Its purpose is: to make Europe pay, give Putin a way out, win votes for himself, while Ukraine ends up "empty-handed" in both people and resources.

On November 19th (Tuesday) Eastern Time, President-elect Donald Trump nominated veteran Wall Street financier Howard Lutnick as the next U.S. Secretary of Commerce. "I am excited to announce that Howard Lutnick, Chairman and CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, will join my administration as Secretary of Commerce. He will lead our tariff and trade agenda and oversee the work of the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative," Trump posted on Truth Social on Tuesday. According to Trump, Lutnick will not only lead the Department of Commerce but will also be “directly responsible” for the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.

US President Biden, on the verge of leaving office, made a significant adjustment to US policy regarding Ukraine—allowing Ukraine to use US-provided long-range missiles to strike deep targets within Russia. Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairman of the State Duma (the lower house of parliament) in Russia, harshly criticized Biden for wanting to drag the world into a catastrophe. According to reports from RT on November 18, Volodin stated on the 18th that the aging Biden seems to be 'dreaming of eternity' as he approaches the end of his life and wants to drag the US and even the world down with him.
He also stated that if the US allows Ukraine to use US-provided long-range missiles to strike deep targets within Russia, Russia will have to respond. The manner of the response will depend on the Ministry of Defense, but there will definitely be a response, including the use of new weapon systems that have not been deployed on the Ukrainian battlefield before. Volodin also mentioned that those long-range weapon systems have already been used against Russia. Expanding the scope of use may cause more destruction, but it will not change the situation on the battlefield.

Donald Trump comments on Biden's new decision to allow deep strikes on Russian territory.He stated: "Although I do not have presidential power, as a former president, I still have some influence. I will ensure that Biden does not allow Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied missiles against Russia, otherwise it could trigger a nuclear war. I will work to prevent the outbreak of World War III."

On November 18, the American news magazine reported that President-elect Trump may declare a state of emergency in the United States after taking office to combat illegal immigration. American conservative commentator Tom Fitton said in a post, 'The incoming Trump is prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military force to expel illegal immigrants.' Trump retweeted and responded on his 'Truth Social' platform, 'Yes.' The report stated that Trump made immigration a core component of his successful campaign for the White House, which led to his decisive victory over Harris. Trump said during the campaign, 'On my first day in office, I will launch the largest illegal immigration expulsion plan in American history.'

Trump may seek to relax restrictions on self-driving cars, and Musk is planning for "completely unmanned driving."△Bloomberg reported on November 17 local time that according to people familiar with the matter, the team of US President-elect Trump plans to make "building a federal framework for fully autonomous vehicles" one of the priorities of the U.S. Department of Transportation.△Trump and Musk If new regulations make fully driverless cars possible, Tesla CEO and Trump's big donor Elon Musk will directly benefit. He has bet Tesla's future on autonomous driving and artificial intelligence technology.

Although Trump is expected to make a comeback in the 2024 election, the New York Times published an article titled 'Trump Shows Signs of Defeat' on November 17, suggesting that Trump is sowing the seeds for his future failure. The author of the article is the paper's columnist David French. Excerpts from the article are as follows: It’s happening fast. Trump is sowing the seeds of his political demise. He has appointed corrupt, incompetent, and extreme officials to many of the most critical positions in his cabinet, which is a direct threat to the nation's welfare and a political threat to Trump and his populist allies. To understand the reason, it is key to remember a basic fact about Trump's political career.

In a recent statement on social media, Ukrainian President Zelensky has shown an unprecedented firm stance, bluntly stating: "As a fully sovereign independent country, Ukraine will never yield to any external pressure, even when faced with a powerful nation like the United States, we will not easily compromise at the negotiating table.""This statement is undoubtedly a direct response to the views held by Trump and his supporters, such as the well-known entrepreneur Musk. Musk had previously expressed dissatisfaction with Zelensky's position using a sarcastic meme, but Zelensky's statement this time clearly tells the world that he is determined not to remain overly polite towards Europe and America anymore. During the two-year interaction with the Biden administration, Zelensky has not only grown into a leader well-versed in the complexities of international politics but has also become a unique window to see the decision-making logic of the U.S. high-level officials. On November 16, he publicly revealed two major secrets about the United States, which hold great reference value for the rising China, as they not only expose the true nature of the United States but also foreshadow the possible future direction of international relations. First, Zelensky sharply pointed out that the U.S. has actually gained a lot from its aid to Ukraine.

Musk's youngest son is called X. Musk takes him with him to meetings, games, interviews, and even to the president. The predecessor of Alipay, founded by Musk, was originally called X. The rocket company is called SpaceX. Twitter, which was acquired for 40 billion, was also renamed X. Because X is the most like Musk's childhood among the 11 children, whether in appearance or personality, his cleverness and adventurous spirit can be said to be exactly the same as Musk's. Musk's preference for X is actually a kind of compensation for his own childhood.

On November 17, local time, Ukrainian President Zelensky said in an interview with the media that the United States cannot force Ukraine to "sit down and listen" at the negotiating table, and Ukraine is an independent country. In response, Musk, a close friend of US President-elect Trump and CEO of SpaceX, posted on the social media X that Zelensky's "sense of humor" is amazing, and also accompanied it with a crying and laughing expression. Zelensky said in an interview with Ukrainian media on Saturday that Ukraine must make every effort to end the conflict by diplomatic means next year. Negotiations with Russia are only possible if Ukraine is not facing Russia alone and has a strong position. He also said that the United States can act as a mediator, but must maintain a position of supporting Ukraine. Musk shared a clip of Zelensky's interview on X and wrote: "His sense of humor is amazing." The billionaire's post also linked to a BBC article that detailed Zelensky's career as a comedian before entering politics.

Too tough! Ukrainian President Zelensky suddenly made another statement regarding Trump's preparations to promote Russia-Ukraine negotiations. Zelensky said that what Ukraine needs now is not listening and unfair communication. All of Ukraine's allies should be more united to allow Ukraine to gain a stronger position, and they should also take action in diplomacy. In addition, Zelensky also believes that even if they sit down to negotiate, Russian President Putin will only delay, because Putin's goal is to completely destroy Ukraine. It is not difficult to see from Zelensky's latest statement that from the initial recognition of Trump's idea of ​​​​promoting peace and promoting talks to now publicly refusing to negotiate, it is obvious that Zelensky is the one who is really unwilling to sit down and negotiate, and hopes to first win the battle against Russia, continue to ask allies to increase aid, and continue to put pressure on Russia from many aspects such as diplomacy. In short, such an attitude will not only continue to make the Russia-Ukraine war far away, but it may even really fight to the last Ukrainian, leaving the people and soldiers of both Russia and Ukraine trapped in a long war.

Musk not only left a deep mark on Tesla, but also demonstrated a cutting-edge vision in the fields of satellites and rockets, and is committed to developing breakthrough technologies. So, can China have a figure like Musk? Musk himself gave his opinion on this question. Although he did not directly answer "yes" or "no", Musk implicitly pointed out that many outstanding entrepreneurs have emerged in China, and their innovative ability comes from questioning and exploring existing things. However, if the education system and social environment do not support this spirit of questioning, it may suppress the innovative potential of entrepreneurs. Zhou Hongyi also expressed a similar view: China is not without talents with Musk's qualities, but in the existing environment, the tolerance for failure and encouragement for innovation are insufficient. This shows that in order to cultivate more leaders like Musk who can promote scientific and technological progress, in addition to personal efforts, the entire society needs to create a more open and inclusive cultural atmosphere, encourage attempts, tolerate failure, and continue to increase support for scientific and technological innovation.

On November 6 local time, Donald Trump secured the 2024 U.S. presidential election, beginning his second term. He also became the first president to leave the White House and return after more than 120 years since Grover Cleveland in 1892. If anyone was happiest about Trump's win, it was Elon Musk. In a recent photo shared, Musk stood with the Trump family, holding the X child and smiling broadly, seemingly having integrated into the family. Musk put in a lot of effort and money to help Trump successfully get elected president. Reports indicate that he spent over $130 million (approximately 930 million yuan) to support Trump, making him one of the top-tier donors in this election cycle. "He is a person with personality. He is a special person. He is a super genius." Trump also expressed his gratitude for this benefactor's assistance, mentioning Musk specifically at a rally: "We must protect our geniuses. We don't have that many (geniuses)." Now, Tesla's stock price has soared. The stock jumped 15% in U.S. trading, as investors hoped to profit from Trump's return to the White House. Musk also released a chart early Wednesday morning, claiming it showed record high usage of his social network X. Already the world's richest person, Musk oversees a business empire made up of six companies, several of which have complex connections with the U.S. federal government. For example, SpaceX has become an increasingly important partner for NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense, with contracts worth billions of dollars. Tesla has bet its financial future on developing self-driving robot taxis, a high-risk venture facing severe regulatory hurdles. So when Trump takes office, Musk, as a loyal supporter, is sure to gain some benefits. Back in August at a rally, Trump announced: "I support electric vehicles. You know, I have to support them because Elon supports me very strongly, Elon. So I have no choice." However, as a political novice, is Musk really just 'gambling' on Trump to expand his business empire? It's important to note that if Trump loses, the Democratic Party will not let him off the hook. In response, Musk actually provided a true answer in an interview. "Before this election, I never participated in politics. The reason I am participating so actively this time is that if we do not elect Trump, I think America will lose its two-party system." "Let me explain, there are only 6 to 7 swing states in America now, and the vote margins in these states are very small, only about 10,000 to 20,000 votes apart." "What the Democrats are doing now is bringing in a large number of illegal immigrants to swing states, turning them blue (supporting the Democratic Party). Once these swing states turn blue, there will be no real elections in America. Because only the Democratic Party will remain." "Clearly, the Democrats will continue to operate this way, constantly bringing illegal immigrants into swing states, which will accumulate over time, making each subsequent election increasingly unfair." "If Trump does not win this time, America will not have fair elections." Clearly, Musk has focused on Trump's policies regarding illegal immigration. It's worth noting that during Trump's presidency, his immigration policies were known for being strict and restrictive, taking an unprecedented hardline approach to immigration management. Upon reflection, Musk's words make some sense. It seems that although Musk is an entrepreneur, he is very concerned about America's future. Of course, his 'gamble' also involves his own interests. Now that the dust has settled, it remains to be seen what benefits Trump will offer this biggest 'financial backer.'

On November 6 local time, Donald Trump won the 2024 U.S. presidential election, ushering in his second term. He also became the first president in over 120 years to leave the White House and then return, following Grover Cleveland in 1892. If one were to say who was happiest about Trump's victory, it would undoubtedly be Elon Musk.
In a recent group photo shared, Musk and the Trump family are standing together. The Tesla CEO is holding the X baby, smiling in a very 'simple-minded' way, clearly having integrated into this family. Musk has put in a lot of effort and money to help Trump successfully win the presidency this time. It is reported that he spent over $130 million (approximately 930 million yuan) to support Trump, which also made him one of the top donors in this election cycle. 'He is a person with personality. He is a special person. He is a super genius.' Trump is also very grateful for the help from this benefactor, mentioning Musk specifically at a rally: 'We must protect our geniuses. We don’t have that many (geniuses).' Now, Tesla's stock price has already skyrocketed. The stock surged 15% in U.S. trading as investors hope to profit from Trump’s return to the White House.
