Chapter 1047: All Show and No Substance

Although Drew Baglino did not cover his ears like in a play, the heavy expression on his face was as vivid as that of an actor.

In the Western scientific community, every scientist and super laboratory has a close relationship between master and apprentice. Even if they are brothers from the same school, they cannot reveal the progress of their confidential projects to others because they belong to different companies and institutions. However, everyone can estimate the project resources of some brothers' laboratories through some rumors in the industry and the previous professional development status.

After all, there are only a small number of people who have learned the world's top disciplines in each sub-category, and the dynamics of this small group of people can still be roughly controlled.

So when Musk talked about the secret projects of top laboratories and institutions such as Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Baglino's mood was completely unable to relax.

Even the brothers and even masters in these laboratories could not overcome the difficulties brought by Jiuzhou Technology, so how could he, a small pawn, be qualified?

Musk saw that his trusted general had an expression of death at home, and suddenly a burst of anger surged in his heart.

"Damn it! Fuck! Fuck!!!"

After cursing, Musk is still a man with pride in his heart.

Ashok Elluswamy, Charlie Kuman, David Searle and more than a dozen top scientists and engineers controlled by Musk were called together to start a dull meeting with a few oppressive sentences.

Musk is like an ancient tyrant, madly and shamelessly squeezing the energy and future of these top talents.

Ashok Elluswamy is a big shot who developed various modules for Tesla's first-generation autopilot. Speed ​​planning and control, automatic lane change, and various system work required by the eye vision system of autonomous driving are all developed by the team led by him.

Although Tesla's autonomous driving has been exposed to many loopholes in recent years, the successful promotion of autonomous driving technology in stages has contributed greatly to Tesla's entry into the global electric vehicle market in just a few years.

It's just that even the confidant genius in this camp was scolded by Musk, and was happy to come up with a military order to develop real autonomous driving technology within two years.

An elite talent named Charlie Kuman was treated the same as this.

He used to be the head of product design at Pingguo Company, and is now the vice president of material engineering at Tesla Motors and SpaceX.

Although he is not the most technically competent, he has a keen sense of smell and strong business resources and connections. However, even such a big shot was forced by Musk to provide at least 20 useful key material innovations for SpaceX rockets and Tesla cars in two years to accelerate product transition and upgrade.

This requirement stumped Charlie Kuman. He almost turned his face and planned to quit at the meeting. In the end, it was Musk who made a lot of promises and showed some confidential documents of Uncle Sam's official website, which made him take a deep breath and reluctantly sit back in his seat.

Looking around, these dozen elites are the strongest lineup that Musk has recruited in the 30 years of starting a business and expanding the company's business segment.

A company once conducted a survey, and found that Tesla replaces more than 27% of its executives on average every year, and the annual turnover rate of executives reporting to Musk is 45%, which is much higher than the average level of 9% of other technology companies in Silicon Valley.

And after the rise of Jiuzhou Technology, the turnover rate of executives of Tesla and other technology companies in Silicon Valley has increased by more than 20% every year.

After the meeting, it was already April 29th.

In order to boost the company's stock price, Musk not only frequently appeared on social platforms such as Diet and Jiuzhou Community, but also accepted an exclusive interview with a TV station.

In the interview, the famous genius tycoon revealed that "Tesla will achieve truly fully autonomous driving within two years, and use smarter means to improve vehicle services and repairs.

SpaceX's next-generation interstellar spaceship super heavy rocket will also take off successfully within two years. Our engineering team is full of confidence in this, after all, this thing has enough failure experience.

And our brain-computer technology and super high-speed rail will also show you more interesting results within two years, and will also provide more technology to more people.

I don't like to hide my results like some people do. I prefer to let users around the world know the most cutting-edge dynamics of our technology company, provide power for the entire technology industry, integrate resources, and develop technology better and faster."

After promoting his company's future plans and dissing some people, Musk has not rested yet. He went to a high-end place and talked with some heavyweights.

According to a Reuters report on May 1, Tesla founder Musk met with Uncle Sam's senior advisers on April 30 local time. They discussed how to promote electric vehicle production and accelerate the electrification of the US auto industry, as well as the return of advanced manufacturing and how to promote the rapid development of enterprises in the aerospace field.

Later, Uncle Sam's press secretary Karin confirmed that the meeting had indeed taken place, adding that Musk had very practical discussions with relevant representatives during the talks.

This set of combined punches directly raised Tesla's stock price by 12% in two days, setting the best single-week performance in nearly 10 years.

On May 1st, this holiday, Musk was still not happy when he saw the latest stock price.

Now the profits of Tesla and Space Exploration Development Company are not ideal, and they can't easily raise the company's stock price by relying on the brilliant financial reports like in the past.

If this big move cannot be implemented in the next two years and can't produce results in three years, these companies will lose the trust of many people and many institutions.

At that time, it may be the real end of the company, and his wealth and status will also...

Especially when he saw the experimental video and report files of Jiuzhou Technology's engineering robots that his engineering department spent a lot of money to buy back, Musk felt depressed.

After taking a sip of Taoyao and barely boosting his spirits, he sighed and said, "Hey, Gu Qing, how did you do it? Why are there people like you in the world who are against us?"

Musk was in a depressed mood, but the people of Blue Star Daxia and some corporate executives were in a good mood.

Luo Songtang, a senior executive of Jiuzhou Technology, supervised the major factories. Although the smooth delivery of engineering robots and pet robots is inseparable from the efforts of every employee and every machine, these executives also spent a lot of energy coordinating resources.
