What kind of sparks will be sparked when Silicon Valley code meets Washington's power? When tech giants become political players, how will they affect the future political landscape? Tesla's head Elon · Musk's operation has closely linked these two seemingly unrelated fields, and it has also made this already confusing United States election more intriguing
The "political gamble" of the tech tycoons
The United States media broke the news: Musk waved his hand every month and threw $45 million just to support the Trump team! As soon as this news came out, public opinion was in an uproar, some people were amazed by Musk's "money ability", and some people questioned the real intention behind his move.
To understand Musk's move, we have to start with the Tesla empire he built, as the global leader in the field of electric vehicles, Tesla has already set its sights on the vast Chinese market, and the rise of the Shanghai Gigafactory highlights Musk's ambition for this land
The picture comes from the Internet
The full self-driving (FSD) technology that Musk has in mind is a "stepping stone" to enter the Chinese market, which is known as the future travel revolution, once recognized by the Chinese regulatory authorities, will bring huge market opportunities to Tesla, and the uncertain relationship between China and the United States has cast a shadow on the promotion of this technology
Trump's "Windfall"
Just when Musk was racking his brains for the Chinese market, Trump on the other side of the ocean threw an "olive branch" to him, the political veteran who once "fell in love and killed" with Musk, but now it has become a "life-saving straw" in his eyes
Back in 2017, Trump was in high spirits at that time and announced his withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, but this move annoyed Musk, who had a deep understanding of environmental protection, and angrily withdrew from the Trump administration's business advisory committee
In 2022, Musk announced the acquisition of Twitter, Trump saw the opportunity to "manipulate public opinion", and the relationship between the two began to break the ice
The picture comes from the Internet
Trump knows very well that if he wants to return to the White House, in addition to relying on the "old business" of "Twitter to govern the country", he must also win over technology giants like Musk to build momentum for his campaign, and Musk's support has undoubtedly injected strong funds and technological power into Trump's campaign
Biden's "dilemma"
Compared with Trump's spring breeze, the Biden administration is not so good, in the face of the menacing Trump, the Biden administration is already in a hurry, and now it has lost the support of Musk, the "gold owner", which is even worse
In order to curb the rise of China, the Biden administration did not hesitate to use various means, and even brandished the tariff stick on China's electric vehicles, which not only damaged the economic and trade relations between China and the United States, but also cast a shadow on Musk's "Chinese dream".
At Europe's largest scientific and technological innovation event, Musk publicly opposed the Biden administration's tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, and bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction, in his opinion, what the Biden administration did not only hurt Tesla's interests, but also undermined the development of the global electric vehicle industry
The picture comes from the Internet
Musk's "defection" is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Biden administration, losing the support of the technology giant, the Biden administration's election road will be more difficult, and Musk's "political gamble" will also become a hot topic for a long time to come
The boundaries between technology and politics are becoming more and more blurred, and when business interests and political games are intertwined, what kind of drama will be staged? Let's wait and see
