Contrary to expectations, it's full of praise for Volkswagen.

In addition to getting along well with Volkswagen leader Herbert Diess, he also agrees that the German company is heading in the right direction.

In an interview with the Financial Times, the owner of Space X also stated that VW, along with Teslan, have made the greatest progress in electrifying cars.

Asked which EV startup has impressed him the most, he surprised with the answer.

Instead of mentioning some of the rivals like Nio or Lucid, Musk said, “I think the company with the most progress along with Teslan is actually Volkswagen, which is not a startup, but in the field of electric vehicles we can to experience it as a startup ”.

This is a continuation of the friendly story between the two bosses who have already had the opportunity to talk about electrification, but also to test competing cars.

After all, after Diess praised Tesla and Musk on several occasions, this gesture was somewhat expected.

The billionaire also touched Chinese manufacturers, whom he praised, "I think some strong companies will come from China.

There are many super talented people and workers who believe in manufacturing.

"They are willing to stay in the factory overnight, while in America people are trying to avoid going to work," said the 50-year-old.

He did not want to mention Chinese companies, but given that Tesla has a factory in Shanghai, it is quite clear that it has an overview of Chinese work ethic, but also enthusiasm when it comes to developing the electric car market.
