After ten months of silence in the Chinese media, Iron Man Elon Musk has finally returned.

At the invitation of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc. of the United States, arrived in Beijing on the afternoon of the 28th.

At seven o'clock in the evening on April 28, Musk also returned to the news network again after a long absence, and was received by the prime minister.

The friendly lines on TV make time seem to go back to the sweet time five years ago, when Tesla's Shanghai factory broke ground.

At that time, Musk, as a model of Sino-US cooperation, frequently appeared on the news network, and his Tesla became a household name and frequently appeared in the hot search of the media.

Five years later, Musk, who returned to the news broadcast, could not hide his excitement and praised the Shanghai Tesla factory, saying that it was Tesla's best-performing factory in the world, thanks to the industrious wisdom of the Chinese team. Tesla is willing to further deepen cooperation with China and achieve more win-win results.

The further deepening cooperation between China and Tesla is not energy storage planned according to Musk's blueprint last year, but AI autonomous driving.

According to a little earlier in Reuters on April 28, Musk is seeking to meet with senior Chinese officials in Beijing to discuss the rollout of Full Self-Driving (FSD) software in China and seek approval.

Musk himself also posted on social platforms that Tesla will invest about $10 billion in AI training and inference this year, the latter mainly for cars. Any company that can't compete if it can't spend at this level.

This also marks that the autonomous driving of the car will soon enter the cruel knockout round, and in order to avoid falling behind, many of the participating parties need to follow Musk to invest a large amount of money to start a comprehensive competition for autonomous driving.

It is reported that this invitation was done very secretly and suddenly.

It was when Blinken went to Shanghai on the 24th to meet with American companies in Shanghai that we bypassed the traditional communication mechanism and directly contacted Musk, the benchmark for American enterprises in Shanghai, through the CCPIT.

At that time, after visiting China in June last year, Musk almost disappeared from the Chinese state media for ten months, Tesla's stock price also fell unilaterally for ten months, Musk, whose market value was cut in half, fell from the altar of the world's richest man, Tesla had to lay off employees and tear up school recruitment, and even did not participate in the 2024 Beijing Auto Show.

This Chinese A4 paper invitation directly reversed Tesla's decline.

On the night when Blinken visited the City God Temple to eat Nanxiang xiaolongbao, on the other side of the world, on the New York Stock Exchange, Tesla incarnated as a Chinese concept stock, and joined forces with two other people surnamed Ma to start a long-lost Jedi counterattack of Chinese concept stocks.

On April 28, he appeared on the news network, marking that Musk officially re-became an old friend of the Chinese people, and a series of green lights will be turned on for him.

The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers also issued an urgent notice that all models of Tesla Shanghai comply with data security, becoming the only foreign-funded car company that meets compliance requirements.

This indicates that various provinces and cities will also successively lift the ban on Tesla.

Even next, Tesla may enter the whitelist of the "Regulations on Promoting and Regulating Cross-Border Data Flows", which can send back driving data.

For Musk, it is likely that a new round of five-year life cycle will begin.

Next, with the current round of Sino-US relations repaired, American capitalists of all stripes can re-compete with the old friends of the Chinese.

After Musk gave up the energy storage route, his Shanghai Tesla re-emerged as a model and benchmark for Sino-US cooperation, and was able to regain the advantages of China's system.

Five years ago, Musk's Shanghai factory broke almost everyone's expectations for the development of new energy electric vehicles, and started the large-scale popularization of new energy electric vehicles ten years ahead of schedule.

Five years later, Musk's autonomous driving license is expected to break the world's expectations for the development of artificial intelligence and open the era of autonomous driving ahead of schedule.

After this round of beating and suffering, I believe that this surnamed Ma will know very clearly,

The so-called richest man in the world, the mysterious Oriental Power can send him down with an A4 piece of paper, or he can be lifted up again with an A4 piece of paper.

For us, with the fall of Yang Xiaoming, the "father of vaccines", and the return of Musk, the "benchmark between China and the United States", the pace of China's opening up has been unstoppable, and we will also usher in a new and beautiful future.
