Let’s do business, no war like politicians and the weapon industry wishes.

Regardless of what you think of China and Musk, at the end of the day, there is no altruism here. China does it for China, Musk does it for Musk. They know this is the money trail.

Y'all know my brother Elon, always plays smart and safe. Always be a friend to everyone, an enemy to no one.

Practical man, living in reality. He knows the world cannot move forward without the Chinese cooperation.

Look, Tiktok in US and Tesla in China, who is really defending trade freedom?

[gibsonszeto]

Win-win cooperation is the only way out, well done Mr Musk for that

Musk's ability to relate to Chinese people, thus enabling him to get on well with Chinese officials and people (the former PM, Li Keqiang, even offered him a Chinese green card) enabled him to make a wise decision to build a Gigafactory in China and the first foreign company without the requirement to have a local partner. Tesla owes much of its success to the Shanghai Gigafactory which was completed in less than a year. No other country can achieve such a timescale.

Elon Musk refused Modi's request to set up a Tesla factory 🏭 in India 🇮🇳 because he felt Indians are too poor 😢 to afford cars 🚗 let alone EVs

[RespectOthers]

Praising China’s space programme just before arriving was a really smart move.

Elon is a smart man. He knows where the money is!

Mr. Elon is a very smart business man.

[wilsonchiang]

Elon Musk is Chinese. Thank you comrade!

[jieliu]

China is Tesla's largest production base and market, and China is also the largest supplier. Chinese manufacturers are the biggest competitors, and he have no choice. It is crucial to handle the relationship with China well.

At the same time, China must also release its friendly attitude towards foreign enterprises. Tesla is a typical example set by the Chinese government and a benchmark for external promotion, so there is no need to worry about Tesla's future in China, it will only get better and better.

India's 🇮🇳 big talking can't deliver Modi once begged Elon Musk to set up factories in India.
His reply..
"Import them from 🇨🇳"

[michaelrothschildngo]

I am truly proud of Elyon and his remarkable efforts to establish a Mega Battery factory in Shanghai. It is a testament to his vision and dedication. China's rising prominence in the business world, in partnership with the United States of America, is poised to dominate for the next several decades. I believe that once the USA has the right leaders in place, everything will align harmoniously. Together, these two powerhouse nations have the potential to shape the future of global business.

[Hkchinese.]

Why to this day, no Tesla factory in my superpower India?
WHY?

[Ivancho]

I understand that he's got an american citizenship and spends most of his personal and professional life in the US, but to call him the "American tech tycoon" is unfair to his native country, he is a Southafrican first and foremost, so you should adress him as such.
