CTOnews.com Sept. 11, Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently made a statement on the X platform, saying that traditional automakers such as Volkswagen in Germany and General Motors in the United States will be in danger of being eliminated if they do not transform into self-driving electric vehicles as soon as possible.

The incident was caused by a post by a German engineer and electric car enthusiast: "Grunitz, a board member in charge of research and development of Volkswagen, claimed that the company could not make money on pure electric vehicles and slowed down the launch of new pure electric vehicles." It believes that under the leadership of the new CEO, "Volkswagen's situation is not getting better, but getting worse."

Another user commented directly: "Volkswagen is dead." Musk responded: "if they do not quickly turn to self-driving electric cars, this will definitely happen."

CTOnews.com notes that Musk has previously pointed out that traditional automakers have been too slow to convert to electric cars. "some companies do understand this, but they are still slow to change," he said last month in response to a user's comment that traditional automakers were about to usher in their "Kodak moment."Kodak moment" refers to the phenomenon that some industries or enterprises have been eliminated because of the failure of the former photography giant Kodak to transform its digital cameras in time.

"Unfortunately, for many carmakers, this trend is happening," Mr Musk said later.

Volkswagen sold 94800 electric vehicles in the second quarter of this year, up nearly 52 per cent from the same period last year, accounting for 7.9 per cent of total sales, compared with 5.9 per cent in 2022. According to the plan, Volkswagen aims to increase its share of electric vehicle sales in the United States and China to more than 50% by 2030.
