Why was this meeting included in the itinerary of two Middle Eastern powerhouses visiting the United States?, Before meeting Biden, hurry to meet this person. Leader Musk, both of you

Release time:Apr 16, 2024 21:52 PM

Recently, some foreign leaders who went to the United States to attend the United Nations General Assembly and visit the White House, such as the President of Türkiye and the Prime Minister of Israel, have added a "program" to their agenda - meeting with Musk.

Both sides discussed investment, cooperation, and shared their views on artificial intelligence, coupled with Musk's adorable child stealing the spotlight, which quickly became a hot topic in public opinion.

The two Middle Eastern powerhouses are just the latest group of suitors. Since the beginning of this year, leaders from France, Italy, India, South Korea and other countries have all made appointments with Musk.

Everyone seems to be heading towards the same goal: hoping that the world's richest man will invest, especially his electric vehicle manufacturing company Tesla's next super factory can settle in their country.

Erdogan is snatched by a cute girl

According to the Global Times and CCTV news reports, on the 17th, President Erdogan of Türkiye met with Musk at the building near the United Nations headquarters in New York.

During the meeting, Erdogan introduced some technological breakthroughs of Türkiye, the vision of digital Türkiye and the national AI strategy to Musk.

Musk proposed that he hopes to cooperate with Türkiye to obtain the necessary license to provide "Star Chain" satellite services in Türkiye.

Erdogan said that Türkiye is open to cooperation in artificial intelligence, "Star Chain" and other fields.

Erdogan also lost no time in sending out an invitation to Tesla to establish an overseas factory in Türkiye.

In response, Musk said that Tesla has cooperated with many suppliers in Türkiye, and Türkiye is one of the "important candidate sites" for Tesla's next factory.

In addition, Erdogan also invited Musk to participate in the Türkiye Aerospace Science and Technology Festival. He said that the measures taken by Türkiye within the framework of its space program may bring opportunities for cooperation with space exploration technology companies.

Interestingly, while the two big shots were discussing serious matters, the outside world's attention was focused on Musk's son, who was seen as stealing the spotlight from the local president.

During the meeting with Erdogan, Musk held his 3-year-old son X. Before the official meeting between the two, Erdogan gave X a football, but the little boy was too shy and buried his head in Musk's shoulder, afraid to take the football.

Erdogan chatted with Musk and asked him, "Where is your wife?" Musk could only answer briefly, "Oh, she's in San Francisco, we're separated, and now I'm mainly taking care of her."

Netanyahu flies to California first

On the 17th, he just met with the President of Türkiye, and the next day, Musk was "engaged" by the Israeli Prime Minister.

From the itinerary, Netanyahu attaches great importance to this meeting. Before attending the United Nations General Assembly in New York and visiting the White House to meet with US President Biden, he made a special trip to visit Musk at the Tesla factory in Fremont, California, hoping to encourage him to invest in Israel.

On the 18th, both sides had a live conversation for over an hour.

In the conversation, Netanyahu emphasized the necessity of meeting Musk, praising him as a "contemporary Edison" and flattering him as an "unofficial president of the United States.".

It is rare for Netanyahu to speak these praises to Musk, considering his unwavering strength in Israeli politics.

As per the announcement before the meeting, the two of them had a heated discussion on the issue of artificial intelligence, exchanging for nearly half an hour and discussing the potential risks and benefits of artificial intelligence to humanity.

However, this high-end conversation still couldn't avoid embarrassment.

Netanyahu once expressed his hope to build Israel into an artificial intelligence powerhouse, just as Israel dominates the cybersecurity industry.

However, regarding Netanyahu's question of "which countries will be leading in the field of artificial intelligence", Musk expressed optimism about China. He said that China will be one of the top countries in the field of artificial intelligence and has the potential to become the first place.

The two also had a confrontation over spreading anti Semitic information on social media platform X.

Netanyahu called on Musk to "counterattack" anti Semitic content on social platform X.

In the eyes of the Israeli government, Musk tacitly allowed the spread of anti Semitic information on social platform X. Netanyahu urged Musk to find a balance between protecting freedom of speech and punishing hate speech.

Regarding Netanyahu's beating, Musk took a clear stance, claiming to oppose any actions that promote hatred and conflict, and reiterated that hate speech will not be spread on social media platform X.

At the same time, Musk politely retaliated, saying that their meeting was opposed by many Tesla employees due to the judicial reforms implemented by the Israeli government.

Musk said that many Israeli American technicians stood on both sides of Netanyahu's visit, protesting against judicial reform.

This made Netanyahu quite embarrassed, and he made a hard explanation for it, even pointing out the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, tracing the source of judicial reform, and emphasizing that he was working hard to restore balance between the Israeli government departments.

The leaders revolved around Musk

Since the beginning of this year, leaders from France, Italy, India, South Korea and other countries have long met with "idols". French President Macron has met with Musk three times since December last year.

Why are these powerful figures all revolving around Musk?

Facing the halo of the world's richest and tech maniac, Musk will definitely not be ignored as he presides over super companies and platforms such as Tesla, SpaceX, and social media platform X.

More importantly, unlike traditional billionaires, Musk's "business empire" ventured into the forefront of technology, crossing the present and future, from electric vehicles to artificial intelligence, from satellite networks to interstellar space.

Especially with the current challenges facing the economies of various countries and a new round of technological and industrial transformation reshaping the global economy and innovation landscape, seeking Tesla to build new factories or invest in "star chain" infrastructure to boost the economy and electric vehicle industry has become a choice for many countries.

For example, the most eye-catching thing is that building a factory is almost a must talk topic between world leaders, politicians, and Musk, and even has formed a fiercely competitive situation.

Tesla's goal is to sell 20 million cars annually by 2030, which is higher than last year's sales of about 1.3 million cars. Currently, Tesla has 6 factories worldwide and is constructing its seventh factory in the state of Nuevo Leon, Mexico.

Musk stated in May that a new factory site may be finalized before the end of this year.

At present, many countries, including France, Italy, South Korea, India, Türkiye and others, are competing to offer an olive branch to Tesla and invite it to invest and build factories. The location of the next Tesla super factory has become a global focus of attention.

Regarding the competition among leaders from multiple countries to meet with Musk, some analysts point out that world power is shifting, and the Israeli Prime Minister, who met with Musk first rather than the US President, has sent an important signal that technology leaders are sometimes stronger than political leaders, forming a new center of power. At the same time, Musk's increasing power and influence have also caused some unease, fearing that it may extend to the political field and have geopolitical consequences.

Will military intervention and countermeasures be imminent? What impact will the coup bring to the region? The collapse of the lighthouse in Niger, a landlocked country in West Africa, declared independence from French colonial rule in 1960.
