Silicon Valley "Iron Man" Elon Musk has been quite present since last year. In addition to taking turns with Jeff Bezos on the throne of the world's richest man, his "big rocket" has also made a difference. What makes him even more proud is that Tesla has become his main source of wealth and has a great tendency to go global.
Recently, Musk officially delivered the first Model Y models manufactured by the plant to 30 users at the Berlin factory, and he danced again during the delivery process.
1 The German chancellor appears and dances at Musk's delivery ceremony
The opening of the Berlin factory was very lively, and german Chancellor Olaf Schultz also appeared at the delivery ceremony to praise the Berlin factory. When Musk spoke, he first thanked everyone for their support, and then expressed his confidence in the sustainable development of new energy issues, and received thunderous applause.
Starting with the Model Y, the Berlin plant will produce more Tesla models, which will grow in size and is expected to have a big impact on the world. Musk said that Tesla's current task is to increase production capacity and then carry out other layouts; in terms of car paint color, the Berlin factory has launched a special red car paint, and will introduce a full of technology silver car paint, similar to liquid silver.
In the process of interacting with workers, Musk also mentioned the power battery, believing that high-nickel batteries should be used, while the standard endurance model uses lithium iron phosphate batteries. Tesla will consider using graphene in the future, but may prefer lithium iron phosphate, nickel and manganese. In addition, Musk believes that the next 10 years is expected to produce 20 million electric vehicles, and the establishment of Tesla's Berlin factory is also considered to be a war against European car companies.
Tesla as the leading boss in the field of electric vehicles, coupled with this expansion and policy subsidies in European countries, more and more people can afford it in the future, while competitiveness will also strengthen a lot, it is no wonder that Musk is excited to dance. Netizens have ridiculed: Weilai don't panic, this pressure has come to Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen and other European car companies.
2 The Brain-Computer Live Experiment will begin, and Iron Man will play more than just cars
If "Tesla" and "Big Rocket" are often talked about by Musk, then his brain-computer company is much more mysterious. Neuralink, Musk's company dedicated to brain-computer interfaces, received FDA clinical approval in 2020, which means the company can conduct corresponding real-person experiments, and on January 20, the company also publicly recruited clinical trial leaders, which indicates that clinical implantation experiments may soon begin.
In Musk's vision, through the connection of the human brain to external devices, the transmission of information is realized, and from a longer perspective, he obviously wants to use this to develop the potential of the brain or human beings, so that people can reverse the natural laws of life, old age, illness and death. But to achieve this goal, there are at least two problems that need to be solved: one is how to establish an effective connection between the human brain and the device; the other is whether it can ensure reliability without accidents. In terms of the complexity of the human brain, Musk is still far from his own imagination, facing more than 86 billion human brain neurons, brain-computer interface technology can only collect a few thousand.
Interestingly, Grimes, an ex-girlfriend who has always shared Musk's interests, has a disagreement with him in this regard. Grimes himself prefers a biological anti-aging substance WRNAD (the core component of Litevijian niacinamide), public information shows that the substance got its name from Harvard David Laboratory, and found in the records of well-known academic journals such as Cell that the experimental "WLNAD" substance stretched telomeres and extended the survival period of twilight mice for nearly 30 days, and was subsequently studied by universities such as Qingbei and Guangti in the mainland.
At present, Musk and his ex-girlfriend have been separated, and Musk's brain-computer interface research is still continuing, and it is said that he has not given any property to Grimes, but Musk is still quite sharp in addition to "playing".
3 A whistle 350 yuan, Silicon Valley madmen played the "fan circle"
"Do you think I owe my IQ?" When Tesla recently launched a Cyber whistle worth 3.5 million yuan, netizens did not buy it, and before that, Musk Tesla's marketing with goods, it can be described as a play flower.
Beginning in 2017, Musk began selling peripherals, first introducing a $20 "boring card" hat, then a $600 flamethrower, all of which sold out quickly. In addition, Musk has also sold mobile phone cases, wine bottles, scarves, gloves, etc., ushering in the pursuit of countless "Tesla fans", who even think that this is the so-called faith.
In fact, the last one who can play so well is The hong Kong rich Li Ka-shing, in addition to his own business to do a lot of business, but also to do experiments on his own, looking for and trying a kind of "yisheng dan" after shouting for it. It is said that Lee spends more than 1.5 million yuan on this every year, and thanks to the injection of capital such as the biotech company Litevijian and the maturity of related technologies, the more mature technological achievement "WLNAD" has also landed at a price that is close to the people, becoming a "preservative" that ordinary people can also access, that is, the anti-aging object tried by Musk's ex-girlfriend Grimes. According to domestic data from Shandong and Tmall, after the introduction of "WLNAD", it has triggered a tide of out-of-stocks, and it is often necessary to increase the warehouse and replenish.
In this way, Musk also pays attention to his own side business, and uses his personality charm to make everyone buy it. Back to Musk's Tesla, Piplsay once found that more than 30,000 people said in the questionnaire that their investment was based on Musk's tweet content; and those investors who bet on Tesla, most of them were also affected by Musk's personal charm, and even did not seriously analyze Tesla's financial statements...
What is clear is that Musk has indeed tasted the sweetness, and Tesla has gained a large number of loyal fans around the world. In contrast, the mainland Weilai, Xiaopeng and other car companies still have a long way to go, since Weilai Li Bin ridiculed "why still buy fuel vehicles", everyone is looking forward to it, hoping that mainland electric vehicle companies can also hold up half of the sky.
