Because he went to China, Musk was scolded by India.

Sad, really quite sad.

According to Reuters, the Indian media, which often criticized China, now cast a stream of anger on Musk.

For example, India's Mirror Now TV station criticized in a newsreel broadcast in prime viewing time, "Bad morality, or business?"

The host of the program added a little bit of spice and said, "Everyone here in India is shocked."

what do you mean?

Musk, you are so mean, which shocked all of us in India.

Also, News 9 of India broadcast a segment about Musk, and then said in the commentary, "China, hello! India, goodbye!"

The TV station then printed a subtitle saying, "Very busy Tesla affairs? One week after the cancellation of the trip to India, we visited China."

what do you mean?

Musk, you are too boring. You don't have time to come to India, but you have time to go to China.

I see that some people also criticize Musk on western social media. You have been to Beijing, China, and can't fly to India for another five or six hours?

To the anger of some people, Musk had planned to visit India in April, and it was said that he would also announce with Modi that he would invest 3 billion dollars to build a Tesla factory.

India attaches great importance to it.

It is said that India needs land and support. India has also reduced the import tax rate of electric vehicles, revised the Foreign Exchange Management Law, and allowed foreign capital to enter the aerospace fields such as satellite manufacturing and satellite data products. It feels that this is a "big gift package" for Musk.

But the plan could not keep up with the change.

On April 20, Musk suddenly announced on social platform X that he had to postpone his visit to India because of Tesla's "very heavy task".

Please note that it is postponed, but not cancelled.

Musk said politely, "But I'm looking forward to visiting later this year."

Everything is ready. Those who should come are not coming.

India was very disappointed, but what made some Indians even more disappointed was that a few days later, Musk appeared in Beijing and talked happily with the Chinese people, saying that he was a "Chinese fan".

The mentality of Indians is completely unbalanced. It is said that some Indian netizens "broke the back teeth" and swore at Musk, calling him dishonest and openly scornful of India.

Why did Musk suddenly postpone his trip to India?

I don't know why.

However, comprehensive media analysis does not rule out several reasons.

First, the progress of setting up factories in India is disappointing.

After all, looking around the world, there is a Tesla factory that can be like the Shanghai Super Factory and achieve the goal of "starting in the same year, completing in the same year, putting into production in the same year, and listing in the same year".

In front of our premier, Musk also sincerely sighed: Tesla Shanghai Super Factory is Tesla's best performing factory

To be realistic, India has made great progress in recent years, but it is still unable to do so.

Second, the key progress in China is more important to Tesla.

When the Tesla Shanghai Super Factory was established, it can be said that at the most critical moment of Tesla, it helped Mask tide over the difficulties.

Now, Musk has encountered new difficulties. Tesla's share price has been falling sharply recently, and some investors are disappointed with Musk.

However, you should also see that during Musk's visit to China, 76 models of six auto companies including Tesla passed the compliance requirements for auto data security. This may mean that the barriers for Tesla FSD to enter China are being eliminated.

In addition, Tesla said that all regions have successively lifted the restrictions on Tesla.

Therefore, when Musk was still on the flight home, Tesla's share price began to soar, and its market value increased by nearly 600 billion yuan a day.

China is really the blessed land of Musk!

Third, perhaps more importantly, Mask does not want to be involved in Indian politics.

According to Reuters' analysis, the reason why India invited Musk warmly, Modi must meet again, because this visit is very important to Modi.

India is about to hold an election, and Modi is seeking a third term. The arrival of Musk must be a bonus to Modi's campaign. Announcing Tesla's investment at this time will "endorse Modi's business friendly image".

Oh, Reuters also said quietly: "Under the geopolitical tensions between China and the United States, the Modi government has been trying to attract foreign companies to invest in India and diversify its supply chain beyond China."

India needs Musk to participate in the grand event.

But Musk may have seen through this and suddenly stopped coming.

Instead of coming to India, I went to China.

India's opposition parties are naturally not polite. Sharma Mohammed, spokesman of the Congress Party, commented that Musk's failure to come was actually "a lack of confidence in Modi's government's regulatory policies, so that large companies have repeatedly turned to China instead of India."

Modi, Modi, you should reflect more on yourself!

But will Modi reflect?

According to Reuters, Modi may be holding his breath.

I saw that Banerjee, a well-known Indian blogger, sent a short video on YouTube to analyze why Musk didn't go to India but was free to go to China.

Finally, he asked in the video: "Do you think Modi will forgive Musk from the bottom of his heart?"
