TapTechNews May 24th news, according to Reuters, during the Q&A session of the VivaTech conference on Thursday local time, when answering questions, Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, said that he opposed the US imposing tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.
Elon Musk said via video link, Tesla and I did not ask for these tariffs. In fact, when this news was announced, I was quite surprised. Anything that inhibits the freedom of trade or distorts the market is not a good thing.
Elon Musk stated that Tesla competes quite well in the Chinese market without tariffs and without preferential support (Tesla competes quite well in the market in China without tariffs and without deferential support. ), so he was in favor of no tariffs being imposed.
In addition, as TapTechNews reported previously, after Tesla released its 2023 financial report in January this year, Elon Musk said in a conference call that Chinese car manufacturers are the most competitive automakers in the world and they will achieve great success outside their home countries. Frankly, if there are no trade barriers set up, they will almost easily defeat most other car companies in the world. They are extremely good. Elon Musk also said that he did not see obvious opportunities for cooperation with Chinese car manufacturers unless they are allowed to use Tesla's supercharging network or license its autonomous driving technology.
