“They don’t just stay up all night, working until 3 a.m., they don’t even leave the factory, while in America, people are trying to avoid working.”
As Tesla's production capacity in China has increased over the years, Musk's understanding of China has also improved.
He himself frequently participates in various summits organized by China and often travels to China.
The host was trying to quickly change the subject because Musk's remarks were quite sensitive.
As a CCTV host, she is fully aware of what constitutes sensitive content.
"What do you think, Chairman Zheng?"
Here is Zheng Li's own answer: "I think Mr. Musk's answer carries a sense of fatalism and absolute certainty."
He was only stating a possibility.
Other possibilities exist.
I believe that the development of the Industrial Internet will bring about material abundance.
If we can achieve breakthroughs in controlled nuclear fusion and materials for energy storage and photovoltaics, then we may witness the realization of high-welfare societies globally within our lifetimes.
Zheng Li previously worked at the Mage Alliance, where he favored high-welfare societies over orgmunism.
Even if material possessions could satisfy your desires and allow you to have whatever you want, you still shouldn't do that.
The consequence of this is that less than one percent of individuals are able to overcome their instincts to work or conduct research.

"I would like to ask you two, will the Industrial Internet lead to large-scale unemployment in the meantime?"

According to official data, the manufacturing sector accounts for 18% of China's employed population, second only to agriculture at 20%.
Musk replied, "Of course."
The development of the Industrial Internet could eliminate at least 90% of manufacturing jobs.
Take autonomous driving as an example. Amazon previously outsourced 75,000 truck drivers.
The current number is 3,000.
These 3,000 people no longer work as truck drivers, but instead do some cargo sorting and local delivery.
More than 95 percent of them were laid off.
These 70,000 truck drivers have caused numerous disturbances in California.
Most of them become Uber drivers or food delivery workers.
Truck drivers still working for Amazon have seen their income drop by 50 percent due to job changes.
Previously, their annual income exceeded 100,000 US dollars, but now it is 50,000 US dollars.
The impact of the Industrial Internet on individuals is so profound and unexpected.
