When the global epidemic spreads, the stock market plummets trigger the circuit breaker mechanism, ushering in the history-making " Black Monday ", Musk, known for his blunt tweets, does not seem to be panicked. Compared with the panic of many Americans and American companies, he even has some "disdain".
versus stock price, he changed his previous style of Twitter and said calmly: "Any way of looking at the market, the market is a bit too high, and adjustment is inevitable."
, who was silent about the epidemic, suddenly said on Twitter , "The panic about the new coronavirus is stupid." The tweet instantly triggered heated discussions, and it was forwarded more than 100,000 times in just a few seconds. Most of the comments were very sharp and sharp, " Elon Musk should take his wife to Italy this weekend and take a walk in the city..."
and even more, there are some celebrities who directly responded. Among them, "Black Swan" author Nassim Nicholas Taleb commented on Twitter : "It is stupid to say that the panic about coronavirus is stupid."
. Not only was Musk not affected by any of these replies, he also posted a post on Twitter to celebrate the 1 millionth car of Tesla .
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Musk's Twitter can cause a thousand waves in one stone. After all, the global epidemic has spread to more than 90 countries, with more than 100,000 confirmed cases and nearly 4,000 unfortunately dying of illness. Under the influence of the epidemic, most companies around the world are changing their working methods, requiring employees to work from home, and suspending business trip arrangements for companies. As the spread of the new coronavirus throughout the United States, nearly 100,000 employees of several famous technology Internet companies in the United States, such as Apple, Facebook, Microsoft , etc., have returned home to work to avoid being infected with the virus.
But what is incredible is that Musk, who was once called a "superhero", also personally sent a rescue team to Thailand to rescue the football boy who had been trapped for 16 days, using his technical engineering team's expertise to participate in disaster rescue. But now when the global epidemic disaster comes, he chooses to ignore it and even feels nothing?
As the head of a global automotive "Internet celebrity enterprise", Musk, who is "fascinated by China", not only did he not cheer for Wuhan like other global car companies, donate masks, disinfectants and other medical items like other global car companies, but chose to lose his voice. It was not until January 30 that Tesla hurriedly announced that it would donate 5 million yuan, with only a few lines of words and not even a picture.
What is more intriguing is that a few hours after the official announcement of donations, Musk, who is far away in the United States, sent another tweet, retweeting the blog he wrote 14 years ago, which is divided into four points, namely 1. Build a sports car 2. Build a car that everyone can afford with money 3. Build a car that everyone can afford with money 4. If all of it is done, provide zero emission power generation.
. More than 40 days later, Musk, who was accustomed to "singing the opposite tune", made such an offensive argument for the first time when he spoke out about the epidemic, which made people suspect that it was a carefully operated "intentional" voice.
Look at its Twitter , it is not difficult to see that on the day he posted this Twitter , Space X will conduct a routine launch mission, transporting 1,950 kilograms of cargo and supplies to the international space station . According to a contract with NASA worth US$1.6 billion, this is also Space X's 20th launch mission to the space station and the last launch. It can be said that this launch is a milestone for Musk, marking that SpaceX is entering a new period of development.
At the same time, there is also an argument that Musk is super devoted to his work and is really not afraid of the epidemic. Just when an epidemic has been found at the location of the Tesla factory in the United States, Musk held an emergency meeting to catch up with the progress and asked the SpaceX spacecraft factory to build the Starship rocket system at a speed of 7×24 hours. So in the next 48 hours, SpaceX hired 252 workers, doubled the factory's labor force.
However, the reason why he made such an argument about the epidemic seems to be related to the fact that Tesla has not been significantly affected by the epidemic at present. After all, the Shanghai Super Factory, which Musk is most concerned about, has resumed work and production as early as February 10. Data shows that Tesla html delivered 3,958 units in the Chinese market in February, accounting for about 30% of the total sales of electric vehicles in the country. This data is enough to show that the delivery of Tesla in China has not been greatly affected by the epidemic.
In "The Legend of Elon Musk", Musk said, "I like to do plays a little bit. In fact, I am just being myself, under the pressure of madness, and of course in the moment of madness. Some people use their hair to express themselves, and I use Twitter." The so-called "no eggs are overturned" is, under the sweeping of the global epidemic, no matter what purpose it is, Musk's remarks are inevitably inconsiderable.
