Musk's criticism of Samsung, SK's memory chip pricing runs counter to market logic: expert

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has criticized Samsung Electronics and SK hynix for their memory chip pricing. This criticism is unusual because it goes against the normal rules of the market. In the chip industry, if a company lowers its prices too much, it risks selling out its entire supply immediately, leaving other customers without the chips they need. This situation is known as a "price war," where companies compete by lowering their prices, but end up hurting themselves in the long run.

Elon Musk's criticism of Samsung and SK hynix's memory chip pricing may not affect their market position. The expert's opinion suggests that the pricing strategy is in line with market realities, which could lead to increased confidence in the companies.
