Tesla CEO Elon Musk talked about Republican candidate Trump in an interview with CNBC on Friday. He said very clearly that he is a word for him - no! (The original words are: Just No.)
"I strongly believe that Trump may not be a decent and reliable person." Musk believes that Trump is difficult to represent the United States on external occasions. Correspondingly, he preferred the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, "Hillary's economic and environmental policies are correct."
Musk's public response was completely biased towards Hillary Clinton, which also made him a supporter of the "smile woman with a smile" like the hero of Silicon Valley.
Among them, famous angel investor Peter Thiel unreservedly publicly supported Hillary Clinton, and Google was exposed to using technology to "support" the female candidate. And what is the reason why Musk added a strong sum this time?
Perhaps related to Hillary’s policy on energy.
At the scientific debate in August this year, in the two debates on climate change and energy, Hillary stressed that if she is elected president, she will implement three energy policies at the same time:
Half of the electricity generated comes from clean energy generation, with 500 million solar panels installed during the first term.
Reducing energy waste in American homes, schools, hospitals, and workplaces by a third, making American factories the cleanest and most efficient in the world.
Reduce oil consumption by one-third of the US through cleaner fuels, more energy efficient cars, boilers, ships and trucks.
Hillary said that in order to achieve these goals, her government will establish more pollution and energy efficiency standards, and invest 60 billion US dollars in clean energy. And if Hillary is elected, she is likely to continue to implement Obama's Clean Power Plan, which was released last August. This plan means that a large number of coal-fired power plants will be shut down, so it is highly controversial.
Hillary’s clear attitude towards old and new energy, whether it’s for Musk’s Tesla or SolarCity, is great news. In terms of personal style, Hillary's goal of parsing is more in line with Musk's style.
To know, Trump is obviously inclined to traditional fossil fuels. On his website, there is a quotation: "The oil is waiting for you to mine, we can only mine." (The oil is there for the taking ; we just have to take it).
Trump has also been skeptical about renewable energy and climate change, and he has vowed to cancel the Paris climate change agreement once the election is successful. In the scientific debate with Hillary, talking about energy and climate, his attitude is very flashy: "The field of climate change has yet to be studied. Perhaps we should use our limited financial resources to deal with water resources, pay attention to diseases such as malaria, and improve Food production..." In short, it has always been swaying. If Trump is a Musk employee, this style of speech is estimated to have been fired.
In fact, in addition to Musk not waiting to see Trump, the American tech circles generally do not like this "big mouth" Republican candidate. Prior to this, Trump had offended a large circle of Silicon Valley companies: Apple refused to cooperate with the FBI to unlock the suspected iPhone, and was verbally boycotted by Trump (but he still holds Apple stock); Mr. Zos was accused by Trump of buying the Washington Post to save Amazon on tax and antitrust issues; after the terrorist attacks in Paris, Trump publicly stated that Muslims should be completely banned from entering the United States and met with Mark Zucker. A counter-revolution.
However, aside from personal preferences and grudges, Silicon Valley Technology Corp. collectively opposes Trump mainly based on his immigration policy.
As a big Silicon Valley technology company, it is necessary to hire more outstanding overseas workers, so they generally support a more open immigration policy. According to Joint Venture Silicon Valley, employees in high-tech companies in Silicon Valley are mainly foreign-born immigrants. Among computers and mathematics, foreign-born immigrants accounted for 67.3%, showing the contribution of immigrants to Silicon Valley.
Trump has done a lot of articles around the H-1B work visa for the introduction of foreign professional and technical personnel. He believes that foreign "temporary workers" are not technical talents, but only replace Americans with lower salary levels. He first claimed that it would be necessary for business owners to spend more money to hire H-1B visa employees in order to achieve “US priorityâ€, prompting these Silicon Valley companies to hire more American-Americans, Hispanics, and women. Afterwards, I went further in the CNN debate, saying that the H-1B visa should not exist.
All of these things have made Silicon Valley technology companies and Musk himself very wary of Trump’s policy ideas and those who run counter to him, but smart Musk clearly does not mix his political ideas and business issues. When talking about the issue of Trump's election, Musk easily said:
"The current political climate in the United States is not very good, but no matter what the outcome of the election is, it is unlikely to affect Tesla's future."
