Yep but other then space. (where we already have a huge foot)
He has no ability to limit the UK and is not an actual leader.
Clean transport he is actually just a name. He owns no standards that other does not have alternatives to. Tesla really is not very popular in the UK. Other cheaper options from Nissan (and others) are much more common.
Storage. Again, her does not have a huge hold on that market. Competition is huge and generally cheaper.
Space is the only place he has something unique. That being reusable launch. And while he is likely to remain cheap compared to other options. The UK also has a huge hold in satellite technologies and production (Much of it built a couple of miles from me). Along with a huge influence in radar and space tracking technology. Launch has really been the only area the UK avoided. And our government works through ESA to handle the limited launch they need. So only corperations need deal with him. Few that do are UK only.
He simply does not have a huge hold over the UK gov. This is in part why he is working with Outlier parties rather than the 2 main ones. The main ones ignore him as he has little actual hold over them economically.
It’s not huge, I don’t mean to suggest that. You’re totally right.
I suppose my point is that for the industries of the future he may become a key player. These industries are relatively small now but you’d imagine they would grow over the next ten years.
Storage. Again, her does not have a huge hold on that market.
Maybe I’m misremembering but wasn’t there a huge giga / mega factory that Tesla was involved within the UK for battery storage?
I do hope he has little to nothing to do with the UK over the next decade. But something tells me this turd isn’t going away 😕.
If I was a sceptic, I’d say the UK was one of a few nations he proposed to try and gain some economic influence.
But few here generally believed he would choose a place with expensive labour like the US or UK to host such a thing. Honestly, factory manufacturing is not huge in the UK for good reason economically.
We do have a good few smaller corps building batteries. But honestly, it’s mainly importing cells from China and putting things together. But nothing huge exists.

Giga factory did not happen in the UK.
