Dang. Honest mistake I‘m sure

Maybe Musk will now start funding political opposition in China? 🤣

What happened to the evergrand CEO is probably going to happen to Elon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hui_Ka_Yan

China is one of the countries that Musk never criticizes.

Sorry, I meant by the end of the year.™

Of which, there is none. He's obviously in the fold if Xinny the Pooh hasn't kicked Tesla out yet.

They need to send him where the same reducation camp Jack Ma graduated from.

You know you're doing something wrong when you make Chinese state media the good guy 🤣

BringBackUsenet 2026-01-23 18:14

Nobody does, if they want to do business there. One of the reasons why mainalime Hollywood movies suck so much.

When the internet was shut down in Iran, SpaceX helped. SpaceX could have done the same in China to break the great firewall of china, but they won't. Because Elon is Xi's good boy.

Huawei's NOA system, which operates similar to FSD (very disputed on capabilities) is approved for use as a Level 2 ADAS. Arguably Huawei did a heck lot more misleading unofficial claims or ads ("turn it on, sleep in the car, set up an alarm, wake up there") but in all official documents, promotions etc they say it's strictly Lvl2 ADAS. Tesla could just certify themselves as a Level 2 ADAS and just get in, but of course Elon probably wants to label it as "FSD", say it's level 4, but only take level 2 responsibilities.

We are probably about to find out he just sold a lot of stock given the major effort to pump it the last few days.

I don't feel I can trust either. Instead of the great English bake off it's the Great Chinese Lie Off.

Musk, who this weekend dribbled out that Hitler was a socialist, because the Nazis were called the National Socialist party, also appeared on Chinese official TV and print saying that he and Tesla will strictly adhere to the principles of Chinese socialism.

You kinda have to give him a slight bit of credit. The dude is clearly a reactionary with a messiah complex along with various drug use who has said all kinds of dumb shit about everything and anything. This week he got baited by Ryanair into giving them free publicity. Yet he's never once let a single thing slip about China.

neonmantis 2026-01-26 05:14

Fuck Musk and fuck his antics but Iran was in response to a specific government clampdown in response to protests. Saying Musk should just generally circumvent China's firewall is a bit of a reach. Indonesia has something similar, should he do it there too?

SuperF91EX 2026-01-26 05:47

Exactly.
