Hey guys, today we are going to talk about Musk, a man of the moment in the technology and political circles! He has been very busy recently, interacting with Trump who has returned to the White House, meeting with Iranian representatives, and reforming the US federal government... This operation is really 666! Is Musk trying to make a big move? Or did he accidentally fall into the trap set by Trump?
It is said that in 2024, after Trump returned to the White House, he immediately took action against the new energy vehicle industry and canceled the electric vehicle tax credit policy that had been in place for more than a decade. The reason was that "government spending was too high." As a result, Tesla's stock price immediately plunged 5.7%, and other electric vehicle companies fell so much that they couldn't even recognize their mothers. Although Musk said that "it will not have much impact on Tesla," everyone understands that he is just pretending to be calm. After all, the electric vehicle tax credit is the pillar of the US new energy vehicle market. Data shows that nearly 60% of consumers buy electric vehicles for subsidies. Although Tesla is awesome, it cannot do without policy support now. Therefore, Trump's move, on the surface, is to cut spending, but in fact it is to cut Tesla's financial support. This first pit is dug hard enough!
What is even more confusing is that the day after Tesla's stock price plummeted, Musk went to New York to meet secretly with Iran's representative to the United Nations. This wave of operations really makes people confused. Musk is a businessman with no official identity and no diplomatic authorization. He went to "secretly talk" with the Iranian representative. What is the purpose of this gourd? Is Trump behind the scenes instructing Musk to be a "pathfinder"? Or, Musk wants to show off his "diplomatic skills" in front of Trump so that he can seek greater political benefits in the future? In any case, it is not a good thing for Musk to be involved in the vortex of US-Iran relations. US-Iran relations are complex and sensitive. If they get out of hand, Musk will probably have to bear the blame himself. This second pit is a real pit of fire!
Before everyone recovered from Musk's "diplomatic show", he made another big move - publicly recruiting members for the "Government Efficiency Department" with the goal of "reducing government spending". This sounds like a Silicon Valley startup routine, wanting to use technology to transform the US government. Musk's ambitions must be respected! However, the US federal government is a behemoth, and its complexity far exceeds that of any technology company. Musk can make rockets fly, but it is probably harder than climbing to the sky to improve the efficiency of the US government. The bureaucracy and inefficiency of the US government are stubborn and cannot be solved by a few programmers. Musk will not only offend a large number of vested interests by doing this, but may also be attacked by political opponents. What's more dangerous is that this kind of "treating the symptoms" reform may cause greater administrative chaos. And what about Trump? I guess he is hiding behind and laughing, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. This third pit is full of mines!
From Tesla to the "Government Efficiency Department", from US-Iran diplomacy to policy reform, Musk seems to be using his reputation and resources to "endorse" Trump's policies. But in my opinion, this is more like a "dangerous game". On the surface, Trump gave Musk a big stage, but in fact, he set a lot of traps for him. After the cancellation of the electric vehicle policy, Tesla's stock price fell. Musk not only had to face investors' doubts, but also had to bear market pressure. His "Government Efficiency Department" plan is also expected to be full of difficulties. Not to mention the minefield of US-Iran diplomacy. If Musk is not careful, he will be gg.
In contrast, in China, the new energy vehicle industry is booming with the support of the government, with a growing market size and higher technology levels. Our foreign policy has always adhered to the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, safeguarding world peace and stability, and has won wide respect from the international community. Our government is also constantly deepening reforms, improving efficiency, and ensuring economic development and improving people's livelihood.
In contrast, Musk's "adventure" in American politics is full of uncertainty. Will he be able to realize his "hero dream" or will he eventually become Trump's "pawn"? Let's move our small stools and wait and see! What do you think, my friends? Let's go to the comment section!
