Herbert Diess Praises Elon Musk As A Brilliant Company Leader

JAKARTA - Elon Musk and Herbert Diess have known each other for years. Despite the fact that they lead competing companies, they also strive for the same goal, where they respect each other. Diess recently again praised Musk, calling him a brilliant person.

Herbert Diess, in a recent interview at IAA Mobility in Munich, expressed his gratitude to Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Speaking to CNN Business about the similarities between him and Musk, Diess said she has a very high opinion of him.

"I have great respect for what he did. I think he is a brilliant person. That's really important. He changed the world with his project,” said Diess. “I really like that he thinks so far into the future. He thought far. And he's a brilliant man."

Musk has founded, invested in, and developed several companies operating in various industries, including SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, OpenAI, and The Boring Company. All of these companies are transforming some of the biggest and most important fields for humanity: Automotive, Aerospace, Telecommunications, Energy, Transportation, Infrastructure/Tunnels, AI, and Healthcare.

Due to the fact that the company's leaders share many of the same goals, Musk has also repeatedly expressed his respect for Diess. For example, in 2019, he tweeted that Diess was doing more than any major automaker to move to electric vehicles.

The relationship between Musk and Diess, which is very good, warm and respectful, is certainly very different from Musk and Bezos. The two richest people in the world are like cats and dogs who want to "scratch" each other in their business.
