Imagine being one of the richest people in the world and the CEO of one of the largest electric car manufacturers in the world. This is the year of election, and the two candidates for the post of president and his deputy at one of the two main parties in your country regularly speak a deep hostility to electric cars (and boats, but also for sharks?) And promise to end any government services for your industry. As a smart executive president, you will of course assign a part of your wealth to ensure the defeat of the above candidate and his deputy in the polls, and thus protect the concession of your electric car and your ability to remain unreasonable. But it is likely that you are not an Elon mask. Tesla CEO has supported Donald Trump’s campaign to become president of the United States again, and the Wall Street Journal reported that it intended to award $ 45 million a month for this purpose. He denied the report mask. somewhat. In fact, he posted a photo of a goat with a human body written on it “fake goats”. He then wrote “Yes”, in response to another person who saw in a publication that “Elon Musk from a voter turned to former President Barack Obama to promise $ 180 million to prefer Donald Trump.” So your guess can be just as healthy. Trump’s criticism of electric cars, not all the little things Elon Musk Tweets or says it is always achieved (see the next automatic taxi, safe financing, etc.). Most importantly, Musk made it clear that he wanted Trump to win and the candidate he chose for the post of vice president, Senator JD Vans, of Ohio, in the race to the White House in November. It’s strange. Because it is Trump himself, who has repeatedly criticized electric cars and US President Joe Biden’s policy to improve the manufacture and sales of electric cars. Trump incorrectly claimed that Biden’s policies would eliminate “hundreds of thousands of” jobs in America forever. Collecting the words that express its ideas about electric cars will include phrases such as ‘slaughter’, ‘ridiculous’, ‘madness’, ‘thugs’, ‘rotten in hell’, and some violent terms it is better not to express because of the recent news events. But it goes beyond rhetoric. During the first period of Trump, he attacked the tax emissions of electric vehicles and car exemption standards. The 2025 project, which is a supposed plan for Trump’s second presidency written by “Heritage Foundation” – with the help of 140 former Trump administration officials, including very ministers – will resume this attack on broader fronts. The backlash of the energy transformation process will cancel California’s ability to determine the emissions standards, which are the crane that has driven the entire car sector towards electrical manufacturing. It will eliminate the Biden law to reduce inflation and electric car incentives. He wants to hinder the ability of the US Environmental Protection Agency to regulate emissions, and reflects Biden’s fuel consumption economies aimed at transporting the automotive industry to the manufacture of electric vehicles. Meanwhile, Vans has offered a draft law that will not only cancel the tax exemption that Biden granted him with a value of $ 7500 for qualified electric vehicles, but will replace him with a tax exemption of 7,500 dollars to buy a US manufactured fuel car. So let us summarize the following: A month ago, the shareholders of “Tesla” allocated a $ 56 billion salary package. Then Trump and fans supported, and it is said that he intends to use his generous wealth in “Tesla” to help them prefer them. After that, they will do everything in their power to hurt … “Tesla”? What does mask think? Why is this mask doing? It’s hard to predict what’s going on in his head. Perhaps he saw the competition of electric cars connected to the knees and decided to throw these competitors to the wolves while becoming a pole in the field of robots or the maker manufacturer in the Peter Thil style. Biden refused to mention the name “Tesla” for a while, so there is a kind of enmity between the two parties. However, $ 180 million is a high cost of revenge, even for a mask. The most important thing here is that it seems that the path of shift to clean energy has lost another friend at a critical time when all the energy of the world should focus. Based on the current polls, it seems to be almost certain that Trump and fans will enter the White House, and perhaps with the full control of Republicans over the US government, because they will not only try to break down the electric car market, but also all that prayed in four years to fight climate change. The Labor Party withdrew its green ambitions before it came to power in the UK. Germany also plans to reduce its support for green energy. There is, of course, a more optimistic account of this story. Perhaps the political wind is changing and deciding to strive in the hope of influencing his second administration. Trump has been saying more friendly about electric cars over the past few months and even describing himself as a ‘big fan’. Meanwhile, Vans’s clean energy hatred is not based on deep roots. Just 4 years ago, he supported solar energy and solved the climate problem until he realized that these ideas could harm his political career. The immunity of the electric car market, no matter what Trump does, the electric car market has probably gained sufficient momentum to continue, especially abroad, as consumers will still have access to cheap Chinese electric cars without paying 100%customs duties. The immune system of the transition to clean energy is a little stronger today than the last time Trump attacked him. Nevertheless, while my colleague wrote in Bloomberg Obenion Liam Dening, the shift to clean energy is still in his initial stages, and he cannot prosper without the support of the government. After 13 months of the hottest months in the history of humanity, and with the ambitious purpose of the Paris Convention to maintain the global temperature at 1.5 degrees Celsius, which has dismissed distant, we cannot really doubt the validity of this shift.
