On the afternoon of October 29th, Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted on Weibo that he was considering establishing a new university called Texas Institute of Technology & Science.Musk said at the beginning of the month that Tesla will move its headquarters from Silicon Valley to Austin, Texas, but will continue to operate its electric car factory in Fremont, California. And last year, he has moved to Texas.
At the China Development Forum in 2021, Tesla CEO Musk and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and President of Southern University of Science and Technology Xue Qikun had a dialogue on the cultivation of physics talents.
Musk said that artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, high-speed tunnels, etc. are all disruptive technologies in the future, and artificial intelligence has even been applied to the development of vaccines. In addition, the use of space exploration innovations can also allow life to go out of the earth and explore other planets to ensure that we can maintain the transmission and continuation of consciousness.
Xue Qikun suggested that Tesla, as a company, should set up a university to better integrate education with the development of the economy and industry, and engage in higher education more purposefully. In response, Musk said: “Tesla is currently lacking talents in robot programming. This is a good suggestion and worth considering.”
