@MbuyiseniNdlozi: Trump on Musk and subsidies
U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested that Elon Musk might be forced to shut down operations without subsidies for his electric vehicle business, according to a recent statement. Trump indicated that Musk could potentially return to South Africa, where he grew up, if left without governmental support in the United States.
Industry expert Jabu Langa, an automotive analyst based in Johannesburg, notes that ''the reliance on government incentives has been a point of contention for many in the evolving electric vehicle market.'' Such incentives have historically played a significant role in Tesla's growth and expansion.
Observers and analysts are considering the broader impact of such subsidies on the electric vehicle industry as a whole, as well as their relation to international manufacturers operating within the global market.
