Elon Musk, 是電動汽車公司Tesla和太空探索公司SpaceX的CEO。

我長期關注Elon Musk,他在太空探索和電動汽車行業等的創新和快速發展,讓我興奮和激動,對他的思維模式:“the first principles method” ,推崇備至。但,進入疫情期間,他關於病毒的一些言論,讓我擔心。

例如,在2020年5月7日, Joe Rogan與Elon Musk的訪談中,2人談及新冠疫情的嚴重程度。Elon Musk提到特斯拉上海廠的狀況,7000多人,疫情期間沒有死亡。

如果,依此作為新冠病毒嚴重程度的判斷,是不準確的。東西方文化,僅對口罩的看法,就有很大差異。

至少,戴口罩這一條,中國員工是要遵守的,在公司和其他公共場所。此外,上海政府也做了大量的複工準備工作,見文末的鏈接。員工、公司及政府,在整個病毒防範方麵,非常細致。

據報道,複工後的上海特斯拉產能甚至超疫情前。中國工廠的正常生產,為特斯拉的財務報表作出了貢獻。

teslarati報道:Tesla China is contributing significantly to the electric automaker’s revenue as a company. Reports now indicate that Tesla’s China-based sector accounted for nearly 25% of the company’s total revenue in the second quarter of 2020.

上周“Daily Drive” podcast采訪中,Musk replied: “China rocks in my opinion. The energy in China is great. People there – there’s like a lot of smart, hard working people.”

在加州,就口罩而言,工作和公共場所沒有嚴格執行。結果,七月媒體報道特斯拉在Fremont的工廠:

Phillips and former Tesla employee Carlos Gabriel, say social distancing protocols are not being followed. They claim masks are provided but the rules are not enforced and there is no record of sanitation of equipment.

“An internal data leak shows that Tesla is seeing a spike in COVID-19 ‘exposure,’ primarily at its Fremont factory in California,” the blog Electrek reported. “So far, more than 130 Tesla workers have tested positive with more test results pending, and a dozen more contractors and temporary employees involved with Tesla’s operations have also tested positive.”

Elon Musk影響極大,據紐約時報,僅推特,他有34 million Twitter followers。

上周末,看載人飛船返回的直播。我留意到,SpaceX公司員工及Elon Musk都戴著口罩,心裏舒坦多了。NASA控製中心,則是另一番景象,暫按下不表。

東西方,在經濟交流的同時,文化交流要同步;否則,誤判。

全方位的交流,讓雙方受益。期待政治家的智慧,以及大的環境改善。
