Tesla CEO Elon Musk Thinks It's A 'Good Idea' To Invite Trump To Giga Texas: 'He Is A Big Fan Of Manufacturing In America'
Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk said on Tuesday that it would be a "good idea" to invite Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to visit the company's gigafactory in Texas.
特朗普概念是共和黨總統候選人，特斯拉公司首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克週二表示，邀請他參觀該公司在德克薩斯州的超級工廠將是一個「好主意」。
What Happened: "Good idea," Musk wrote to the Tesla enthusiast who recommended inviting Trump to Giga Texas to enhance his understanding of EVs and Tesla's other products and services.
發生了什麼事情：馬斯克對推薦邀請特朗普到特斯拉的Giga Texas參觀新能源車和特斯拉的其他產品和服務的特斯拉愛好者寫道：「好主意。」
"He is a big fan of manufacturing in America and Teslas have the most American content of any cars!" Musk added, expressing optimism for a fruitful visit.
馬斯克補充說：「他是美國製造業的忠實粉絲，而特斯拉汽車具有任何汽車中最多的美國內容！」他對這次富有成果的參觀表示樂觀。
Good idea.

好主意。

Tesla's Texas gigafactory covers 2,500 acres along the Colorado River and has over 10 million square feet of factory floor. The factory is home to both Tesla's bestselling Model Y SUV and its latest offering- the stainless steel Cybertruck.
特斯拉在德克薩斯州的超級工廠佔地2500英畝，擁有超過1000萬英尺的工廠面積。工廠主營特斯拉暢銷的Model Y SUV和最新的不鏽鋼Cybertruck。
The company is now undertaking expansion efforts at the factory. Earlier this year, Musk said that the size of the factory would be "pretty close" to the length of a Star Destroyer from "Star Wars" or approximately 1600 meters long upon completion of the expansion works.
該公司正在工廠進行擴建工程。今年早些時候，馬斯克表示，擴建後的工廠規模將「非常接近」於《星球大戰》中的毀滅者星艦的長度，約爲1600米長。
Why It Matters: Trump is against total electrification of the car industry and is seeking the elimination of subsidies for electric vehicles. However, Musk officially endorsed Trump in July.
這很重要：特朗普反對汽車行業的全面電氣化，並尋求取消電動汽車的補貼。但是，馬斯克在7月份正式支持特朗普。
During Tesla's second-quarter earnings in late July, Musk alleged that the impact of the elimination of subsidies would only be slight for Tesla but devastating for its competitors. The elimination of EV subsidies would probably help Tesla in the long term, he added.
在7月底的特斯拉第二季度業績電話會議上，馬斯克聲稱，取消補貼的影響對特斯拉只是輕微的，但對其競爭對手來說是災難性的。他補充說，取消新能源車的補貼可能會在長期內幫助特斯拉。
On Tuesday, during an interview with Musk on his social media platform X, Trump applauded Tesla and said, "You make a great product. Your product is incredible." However, that does not mean that everyone should opt for an electric vehicle, Trump added, reiterating his criticism for total electrification of the automobile industry.
週二，在他的社交媒體平台X上採訪馬斯克時，特朗普稱讚特斯拉，並說：「你們製造了一款偉大的產品。你們的產品非常棒。」然而，特朗普補充說，並不是每個人都應該選擇電動汽車，重申了他對汽車工業全面電氣化的批評。
Musk previously also expressed willingness to be part of a "government efficiency committee" aimed at reducing an "accumulation of laws and regulations" in case Trump reclaims the White House in the upcoming presidential elections.
馬斯克此前也表達了願意成爲一個『政府效率委員會』的一員，旨在減少『積累的法律和法規』，假如特朗普在即將到來的總統選舉中重奪白宮。
Trump is also seemingly warming up to EVs following Musk's endorsement. Earlier this month, he said that he is "for" EVs.
特朗普似乎也在向新能源汽車敞開大門，尤其是在馬斯克的支持下。本月早些時候，他表示『贊成』新能源汽車。
"I have to be, you know, because Elon endorsed me very strongly. So I have no choice," Trump said in his first joint rally with his vice presidential pick JD Vance in Atlanta.
在與他的副總統候選人JD Vance在亞特蘭大的首次聯合集會中，特朗普表示：「我必須，你知道，因爲埃隆非常強烈地支持我。所以我別無選擇。」
