phoenix.com technology news, august 28, beijing time, according to forbes, the first two chapters of "project grandiose," elon musk's master plan for tesla, have disappeared from the official website, raising questions about whether this is related to musk's recent support for trump.

so far, musk's "grand plan" has a total of three chapters. the first chapter was released in 2006, and the main content was to build a sports car and then use the money earned to develop cheaper cars. ten years later, in 2016, musk released the second chapter of the "grand plan", adding plans to develop more electric vehicles and plans for solar panels and energy storage battery businesses.

tesla's official website no longer has any blog posts before 2019

however, neither of these two chapters can be found on tesla’s official website. currently, the earliest blog post on tesla’s official website is dated january 18, 2019.

the third chapter of the "grand plan" was released in april 2023 and can still be found on tesla's official website. in this chapter, musk wants to expand the scale of tesla's automotive and energy businesses to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.

the third chapter is still on the official website

coincidentally, the removal of the first two chapters coincided with the alliance between musk and trump. musk recently supported trump's campaign for the us presidency, and the relationship between the two sides has become increasingly close. musk and trump also held a special dialogue on x.

trump firmly supports the us oil industry and is dissatisfied with the us's transition to new energy. he has threatened to abolish the electric vehicle policy introduced by the biden administration after his election, starting with the cancellation of subsidies for electric vehicles. he once said that even if musk supported him, he would oppose everyone owning electric vehicles.

as the ceo of tesla, musk echoed trump, claiming to support trump's cancellation of subsidies for electric vehicles because tesla does not rely on subsidies to survive. however, according to reuters, tesla is still privately lobbying the us government to introduce policies that are favorable to electric vehicles.

even more surprising is that musk actually defended the oil industry. "i don't think we should denigrate the oil and gas industry and the people who work hard in these industries to provide the necessary energy for the economy," musk said during a conversation with trump.

musk, who owns electric cars and home energy companies, considers his views on energy issues "quite moderate." he claimed that if oil and gas companies were forced to shut down, the economy would "collapse." (author/xiao yu)
