Recently, Israel has taken a remarkable step in the field of electric vehicles. According to the Daily Telegraph on the 14th, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu reposted a report on social platform X on the 13th local time, revealing that Israel has invited American electric vehicle giant Tesla to submit a bid and participate in a bidding project to provide vehicles for the Israeli government.
This news has attracted widespread attention. The Daily Telegraph analyzed that Netanyahu's forwarding behavior clearly conveys Israel's willingness to expect Tesla to participate in the bidding. From a deeper perspective, this move demonstrates Netanyahu's determination to build closer ties with Tesla CEO and world's richest man Musk. Musk not only has great influence in the business field, but is also seen as a highly influential figure in the new Trump White House.
Faced with the invitation from Israel, Musk responded briefly with "thank you very much" in a post on the same day. Although it is only four words long, it has sparked a lot of speculation from the outside world, suggesting that Tesla is highly likely to actively participate in this bidding.
Looking back at their past interactions, in September 2023, the Netanyahu couple visited a Tesla factory in California, USA and met with Musk. The footage was captured by the media and widely circulated. In November of the same year, Musk returned to Israel, further deepening exchanges between the two sides. In January of this year, Musk made a controversial gesture at the inauguration ceremony of US President Trump, and at that time, Netanyahu posted on social media to defend him, which shows the close relationship between the two.
If Tesla successfully wins the bid, it will bring innovation to the Israeli government's use of vehicles. Tesla is known for its advanced electric vehicle technology, excellent range, and intelligent driving experience. If its vehicles become official vehicles of the Israeli government, it will enhance the environmental image of government travel, promote Israel's development in the field of green transportation, and may also inject new vitality into the local electric vehicle market, stimulating the development of related industries. The follow-up progress of this bidding deserves continuous global attention.
