Chapter 274 Musk's Helplessness 1
One of the greatest pains in life is watching your dreams shattered before your eyes.

What is even more painful than this is having to end your own dream with your own hands.

Musk certainly doesn't want to destroy the new AI forces represented by NVIDIA. After all, half of his energy is invested in this.

AI and rockets are the two cornerstones that support Musk's technology empire. Neither can be missing. Rockets represent muscles, and AI represents wisdom.

This is true not only for Musk personally, but also for the Eagle Country. At a time when there is no hope for the return of manufacturing, the financial industry cannot be curbed, and the middle class is roaring with anger, what industry can continue to provide the empire with a steady supply of bullets?

Then the only thing left is to work in the technology industry.

Therefore, for the Eagle Sauce today, the high-tech position represented by AI cannot be lost. If even this high ground is lost, then they can cut off the Pacific Ocean in advance and hide in America behind closed doors.

Everyone who has received higher education can see this clearly, but the tricky thing about the human group is that a mistake that would not be made by an individual becomes an irreparable big problem when it comes to an entire group.

For example, if you are alone, you will never eat shit, but if you are in a group, you will often do such things.

The current collective shit-eating feat is that the major financial institutions in the United States have taken the lead in shorting their own representative technology companies. Even Musk has to follow suit because he knows the nature of those people too well. If he acts too late, there will be nothing left.

And once the money falls into his hands, it can at least be used in the fields of AI and rockets.

Musk could only laugh at himself, calling the operation "rescue suicide."

Even though you know that doing so is undermining the foundation of the empire, but you can't stop a large group of people from doing so, you have no choice but to follow them and try to save a little from them. And in order to save more, you have to be more ruthless than them.

This is nothing, even House of Cards can’t pull off this plot.

The only thing Musk can do is to smash NVIDIA's stock as hard as possible and completely mess up the entire market. Those bloodthirsty jackals must not be allowed to feel that someone wants to save the market, because that will make them even crazier.

They must show that everyone is eager to eat NVIDIA alive, so that the jackals will panic. Because they will worry about whether they can escape at the lowest point. Short selling is to redeem the stock at the lowest point.

Everyone should smash the stock together and leave the development of things to objective economic laws. Because the value of NVIDIA is real, no matter how much a group of people smash the stock together, they will not really drive NVIDIA's stock price into an avalanche, and there will always be people who feel guilty.

This is a completely uncontrolled spontaneous market behavior. When credibility cannot provide consensus, only the most primitive value factors can provide a bottom line.

Fortunately, NVIDIA's GPU is unique in the world. Relying on its leading and powerful product strength, NVIDIA's stock price will eventually stop falling at a price that the market considers reasonable.

What if the company that encounters this situation is not NVIDIA, for example, it is a company that already has a huge bubble? So, this is how the avalanche came about.

Unregulated market behavior gradually accumulates risks, and then collapses at a certain point in time. Therefore, there is no such thing as an economic crisis. It is purely the self-indulgence of a group of so-called smart people.

After the market opened the next day, just as Musk had expected, a DS-R1 version was hyped up, and then the stocks of domestic AI companies represented by NVIDIA began to collapse.

It was as if the performance of DS-R1 was suddenly discovered overnight, and all the major media in the world suddenly began to report on it. For a time, many people on this planet raised their confused eyes as if they had just woken up from a dream, not understanding what was happening before their eyes.

Musk made a fortune by short selling based on the intelligence he received from the FBI, but he was not happy at all.

This wasn't the first time he'd encountered this situation, and he knew it wouldn't be the last.

His memory couldn't help but wander, and he thought of those sleepless nights six years ago.

Musk was facing the most difficult time in his life at that time, and rumors of his personal bankruptcy were rampant. In fact, he was indeed on the verge of bankruptcy at that time, because Tesla was facing a production capacity crisis and his money was almost burned out. It's funny to say that Tesla almost went bankrupt not because the product was not recognized, nor because users were unwilling to pay for the illusory emotional value, but because of insufficient production capacity.

Talking about insufficient production capacity in the 21st century is simply a joke, because it is like not making money.

But that was the case with Tesla at that time. Gigafactory 1 in Nevada started construction in 2014 and went into production in 2016, but three years later, the production capacity still could not be increased.

The local manufacturing industry is declining, skilled workers are hard to find and expensive, and they are still making trouble all day long. The batteries produced by Xiao Ri are one by one, but they are unwilling to upgrade the battery technology. They are clinging to hydrogen fuel cells and dreaming of hydrogen-powered cars. So much so that Tesla was ridiculed for a while as a toy car assembled from a bunch of batteries.

To be honest, Tesla at that time was indeed assembled from a bunch of large cylindrical batteries.

Despite the friendly care of local environmental protection organizations and various human rights organizations, the production capacity of Tesla's first super factory has not been increased. In addition, the supply chain of its allies is shabby, with high prices and poor quality.

Finally, Musk couldn't stand it anymore, and went to Dragon Country against all odds, throwing himself directly into the arms of the industrialist.

Then, within a year, a new super factory was completed and the first M3 rolled off the production line.

It took only one year, from a barren land to cars rolling off the production line.

What would you say if you were Musk?

"You guys think I want to build a factory in Longguo. I want to take you flying, but you guys have to watch me die."

"You just want to increase your salary but don't think about who will pay you if the factory goes bankrupt. Is the treatment I give you bad?"

"To expand a factory, you have to battle with a bunch of organizations. This is obviously a win-win situation. Can you guys stop being so greedy?"

.

.

The most exaggerated thing is that Wall Street knew that Tesla was troubled by production capacity issues at that time, but instead of spending money to solve the problem, it thought of shorting Tesla's stock.

This is completely in line with the logic of capital appreciation, because investing in manufacturing is a heavy asset that makes money too slowly, so wouldn't it be much easier to just short sell and reap the benefits?

As a result, news about Tesla's production capacity being insufficient and Musk's personal ruin soon became rampant. In the eyes of those bloodthirsty jackals, there is no right or wrong, only making money. If shorting Tesla can make money, they will short it and speak negatively about it. If long Tesla can make money, they will go long and sing its praises.

Thanks to the completion of this super factory in Longguo, Tesla's stock price began to soar at the end of 2019.

You have to admire the vision of those jackals. They had already been lying in ambush and going long on Tesla stock when the construction of this super factory started at the end of 2019, because they were very clear about the industrial strength of Longguo.

They are also bullish while being bearish.

All the truth is in the pile of old papers when looking back.

And the familiar scene is now happening again in front of Musk.
