Because he went to China, Musk was scolded by India.

Miserable, quite miserable indeed.

According to Reuters, the Indian media, which has often criticized China, is now pouring out a wave of anger on Musk.

India's Mirror Now, for example, criticized in a prime-time newsreel that said, "Bad morals, or business?"

The host of the show also added fuel to the fire, saying, "Here in India, everyone is shocked. ”

What do you mean?

Musk, you are so inferior that we all in India are shocked.

Also, India's Ninth News Network (News9), aired a clip about Musk, and then the commentary said, "Hello, China! India, goodbye!"

The subtitle then put out by the TV station said, "Very busy Tesla? visited China a week after canceling the trip to India." ”

What do you mean?

Musk, you are too boring, you don't have time to come to India, but you have time to go to China.

I saw that on Western social media, some people also criticized Musk, you have been to Beijing, China, and you can't fly another five or six hours to go to India to see?

To the outrage of some, Musk had planned to visit India in April, and was said to have announced with Modi that he would invest $3 billion to build a Tesla factory.

India attaches great importance to it.

It is said that India wants land for land and support for support, and India has also reduced the import tax rate for electric vehicles, amended the "Foreign Exchange Management Law", and allowed foreign capital to enter the aerospace field such as satellite manufacturing and satellite data products.

But plans can't keep up with the changes.

On April 20, Musk suddenly announced on the social platform X that he had to postpone his visit to India due to Tesla's "very heavy tasks".

Please note: This is a postponement, not a cancellation.

Musk politely said, "But I'm very much looking forward to being able to visit later this year." ”

Everything is ready, and those who should come do not come.

India was disappointed, but what made some Indians even more disappointed was that a few days later, Musk appeared in Beijing and had a good conversation with Chinese, saying that he was a "fan of China."

The mentality of the Indian people is completely unbalanced, and it is said that some Indian netizens "gritted their back molars" and scolded Musk in various ways, scolding him for not being trustworthy and scolding him for openly looking down on India.

Why did Musk suddenly postpone his trip to India?

I don't know why.

But the analysis of the comprehensive media does not rule out several reasons.

First, the progress of setting up a factory in India is disappointing.

After all, looking around the world, there is a Tesla factory that can be like the Shanghai Super Factory, which can "start construction that year, complete it that year, put it into production that year, and go public that year".

So much so that Musk, in front of our prime minister, also sighed sincerely: Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory is Tesla's best-performing factory

Truth be told, India has made great progress in recent years, but India really can't do it.

Second, key developments in China are even more important for Tesla.

The establishment of Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory that year can be said to have helped Musk tide over the difficulties at the most critical moment for Tesla.

Now, Musk has encountered a new hurdle. Tesla's stock price has been falling sharply recently, and some investors are disappointed with Musk.

But you should also see that during Musk's visit to China, 76 models of 6 car companies including Tesla passed the compliance requirements for automotive data security. This may mean that the barriers to Tesla's FSD entry into China are being removed.

Moreover, Tesla said that the ban on Tesla has been lifted one after another.

Therefore, Musk was still on the plane back to China, and Tesla's stock price began to skyrocket, and its market value increased by nearly 600 billion yuan in one day.

China is really Musk's blessed land!

Third, and perhaps more crucially, Musk does not want to get involved in Indian politics.

According to Reuters' analysis, the reason why India warmly invited Musk, Modi will definitely meet with him, because this visit is very important to Modi.

India is approaching a general election, and Modi is seeking a third term. Musk's arrival is definitely a plus for Modi's campaign, and announcing Tesla's investment at this time "will endorse Modi's business-friendly image".

Oh, Reuters also put it quietly: "Amid geopolitical tensions between China and the United States, the Modi government has been trying to attract foreign companies to invest in India and diversify its supply chain beyond China." ”

India needs Musk to join in the grand event.

But Musk may have seen through this and suddenly stopped coming.

Not only did he not come to India, but he went to China.

Naturally, the Indian opposition parties will not be polite. Congress Party spokeswoman Shama Mohammed commented that Musk's absence is actually "a lack of confidence in the Modi government's regulatory policies, so much so that large companies have repeatedly turned to China instead of India." ”

Modi, Modi, what you should reflect on is yourself!

But will Modi reflect?

According to Reuters' hints, Modi may be holding his breath.

I saw that Banerjee, a well-known Indian blogger, posted a short video on YouTube to analyze why Musk did not go to India but had time to go to China.

Finally, he asked in the video: "Do you think Modi will forgive Musk from the bottom of his heart?"
