U.S. tech giant Musk wrote today: "Solar energy is not an energy source, it is the only energy source."
Musk made this point in response to a tweet that said: "In the first half of 2025, China's new solar power capacity added was more than twice the total of all other countries in the world! It's amazing to keep investing heavily in solar energy!"
Comments: By citing the impressive data that China's new solar power capacity in the first half of 2025 exceeded twice the total of all other countries in the world, Musk directly stated, "Solar energy is not an energy source, but the only energy source." This is an implicit recognition of China's comprehensive advantages and execution capabilities in the photovoltaic industry, as well as a precise endorsement of his own business strategy — Tesla energy storage, Starship, and data centers all rely heavily on photovoltaic support. China's production advantages are the core support for his energy empire. At the same time, it subtly criticizes the Trump administration's focus on fossil fuels and neglect of new energy policies, reflecting the current reality of global energy competition: China has solidly established its voice in the photovoltaic industry through hard power, while tech giants like Musk are strategically aligning with the future of energy.
