Anyway, during this time, the famous Musk caught everyone's attention tightly.
He first ignited a fire on the battlefield of new energy vehicles, and suddenly, he changed his tactics, turned around, and went straight to the new world of intelligent driving.
No, he plans to make a drastic layoff, announcing that he will lay off 10% of the staff, involving as many as 14,000 people.
Is this a bad move by Musk, or is it a forward-looking game that he has already seen the opportunity to lay out?
Musk, the name is well-known, came to the administrative heart of South Africa in 1971 - Pretoria.
A scholar, with a double bachelor's degree in economics and physics, took his first steps from the halls of the University of Pennsylvania.
He is dressed in the Chinese costume of the nationality of the three countries, and his footprints have been left in the United States, South Africa, and Canada. Entrepreneur, engineer, inventor, these labels are attached to him, shining so brightly that people dare not look at them directly.
And when it comes to his corporate empire, there are so many pendants on his body that they are like fruits in autumn, all full and eye-catching.
In this article, let's talk about those things that are closely related to the topic, and talk about Tesla, an American company that makes electric cars and engages in energy, and its founder and head. And then there's SpaceX, an American company that plays with space exploration, and he's not only the boss, but also the technical director. Let's also mention OpenAI, an American institution specializing in artificial intelligence.
Clothed in countless halos, every decision he makes seems to inevitably be scrutinized under the flash. And what we are going to talk about today is his recent "wild and uninhibited" behavior.
Mo Yan's style touch:
In other words, Musk is simply a crazy master, and his big strategic change has made Tesla's big ship take a sharp turn. Specifically, there are two main changes. The first is the same as the strategic focus from new energy electric vehicles to the deep water area of intelligent driving, which is not only unmanned, but also includes robot driving. The second thing is that a gust of wind blows, and a large number of people in the company are laid off by such an order.
This large-scale layoff, to put it bluntly, is a helpless move, all to provide some financial support for the company's strategic turn.
The reason why this incident caused so much commotion is that there are too many people involved. Let's talk about Tesla, they announced a plan to lay off 10 percent, which is 1400 people.
But in fact, the number of people who have been laid off is even more shocking than the number announced.
In fact, what makes people feel bad is Musk's decision to plunge into the field of smart cars from electric vehicles. The weight of this decision is clearly that he ruthlessly gave up the cost-effective Model 2 (electric car), which made many people mutter.
This model can be said to have undergone a long gestation, originally the big guys were pointing to it to be put into production in 2025, but who would have thought that it was robbed of the limelight by Robtaxi and FSD, two new gadgets.
However, although the strategic shift in the market is a little unexpected, what is it that makes people's hearts beat drums?
The various rumors circulating in our automobile circle sound like that, but when you study it carefully, it is always a little inexplicably absurd.
Let's just say that GM, Ford, these big car brands in Europe and the United States, some people like to say that they have thrown the idea of electrification behind them.
Look at it again, a big Japanese brand like Foton seems to be less enthusiastic about electric vehicles.
But in the midst of all these disturbances, our Chinese car companies are still determined to persist and struggle on the road of electric vehicles.
These situations really make people wonder, are these companies being swept away by the wave of domestic electric vehicles? Or are they not coming for electric vehicles at all, but more like a drunkard's intention to drink. Their ambition may be to let China fall into the quagmire of electric vehicles, but they themselves will withdraw from it and find an opportunity to slip away, right?
These rumors, like weeds, blow and grow again, from time to time tugging at everyone's sensitive heartstrings. Now, Musk's news has stirred up a thousand waves, and people are muttering in their hearts: Is Tesla also planning to slap his ass and leave?
In fact, these rumors are not groundless, but we can't blindly follow the trend and follow the crowd.
Those foreign companies do have some moves in the electric car industry, and their plans have changed, but this does not mean that they plan to roll up and leave.
Renault, the original plan was to sell only one tram in Europe by 2030. But right now, it's still thinking about how to save a few copper plates, and want to put the tram and the hybrid car on the stall together in 2030.
Ford, too, has dragged down the trade in the area of electric cars.
Looking at it this way, these foreign tram bigwigs have chosen this juncture to slow down their pace in the tram field.
But don't forget, slowing down doesn't mean you just quit. We have to look through this layer to see the doorway behind it.
Regarding this statement, we might as well take the actual data and guidelines to expose it, and let the truth stand up for itself.
Let's take a look at the overall situation, let's take a look at the international attitude towards electric vehicles.
In the early years, many countries around the world have introduced policies to say goodbye to fuel vehicles. Take the United Kingdom, for example, people have set a goal that by 2030, the market will no longer sell those oil-burning guys.
The European Union, in 2035, will draw an end to fuel vehicles, but now you see, some countries have pushed the plan and pushed it back, and some are repairing and reforming it. Such a change, for those car manufacturers, is undoubtedly a big stone in their hearts, and the originally tight planning can also relax their muscles and bones and have a chance to breathe.
Looking at the data, it is clear that the problem is there, and we don't need to beat around the bush.
The latest set of statistics is there, our domestic trams are selling happily, and the sales volume has rushed to 8 million, accounting for nearly one-third of the entire car sales.
Look at foreigners, the United States and Europe, the total sales of trams are only 5.7 million, and even our country's sales have not caught up.
Local customs are also a factor to be reckoned with, as in the case of the Germans and Yankees, who favored the oil-smelling lumps.
Together, these reasons make those foreign companies unable to compete with our local enterprises on the mainland's territory, and the embarrassing thing is that they can't sell at their own doorstep.
Unable to make any money, those gringos could only stand still and watch the wind change in the market.
In the changing situation of the tram rivers and lakes, we might as well open a corner and take a closer look at the overseas hero surnamed Ma - Musk, every time he falls in this chess game.
Presumably, folks, you also have a rough understanding of the trading experience of this tram market.
Then let's follow this momentum and chew on Musk's decision-making scripture.
If you want to say that this decision, it really has the pulse of the times, and it looks forward like a mirror.
I think back then, Musk just crossed the ocean and stepped into the threshold of our family, he was full of spirit, holding a good hand, and taking advantage of the right time, place and people.
Compared with Tesla, there is indeed a lot of distance between domestic craftsmanship and Tesla. But it is this gap, like a strong wind, that has invigorated the rivers and lakes of mainland trams. Now look at the scenery of Musk in the world of trams, which is no longer so exclusive. If he wants to lead again and devote himself to this land of hope, it may be a crucial step for Musk.
From another point of view, this is like getting a glimpse of the mystery of intelligent driving from the world of electric vehicles.
Don't jump to conclusions that Musk has given up on the territory of electric vehicles.
The word "tram" highlights the power of electric power.
And "driverless" and "robo-taxi" are playing with a revolution in driving methods.
Trams and intelligent driving are not incompatible, on the contrary, they can work together and shine on the same wheel.
After all, from Musk's own point of view, his investment in the field of smart driving is not a little advantage.
As early as when this matter was just unveiled, we could see that Musk not only held important positions in Tesla, but he also firmly grasped the leadership helm in those companies of intelligent technology and space exploration.
I don't know what you think about this, welcome to leave a message.
