Is Musk really arrogant?Lei Jun’s evaluation after the visit: what he did, we dare not even think about it

Arrogance has become the most popular word for Musk and Tesla this year.

Perhaps among the many new car-building forces in China, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, is the only one who respects Musk. At the beginning of 2021, Lei Jun announced that he would invest 10 billion US dollars to join the “new car building forces”. At the recommendation meeting, he also showed a group photo with Musk.

In the early years, Lei Jun had visited Musk. In the process of talking with Musk, Lei Jun was deeply shocked by Musk’s personality charm. After returning to China, he said: He did something we couldn’t even think of. We can’t match him, we can only follow.

He Xiaopeng, the founder of Xiaopeng Motors, once asked Musk how to use these patents, and LeEco’s Jia Yueting announced the car plan for the first time. Weilai Automobile was established in 2014, and Xiaopeng and Ideal Automobile were established in 2015. Tesla’s published patents have supported many new domestic car-making forces, and naturally they are emboldened and arrogant. However, Musk also said lightly that the disclosure of patents hopes that more companies in the world can join the battle of clean energy against fuel vehicles. – Source
