It's pretty funny to watch Musk criticize and mock US politicians and governments while he simultaneously bows and scraps before China.

But Musk is an authoritarian at heart. His natural affinity is for authoritarian regimes so this outcome is not that surprising.


>“Self proclaimed free speech absolutist Elon Musk’s Tesla has joined Chinese automakers in pledging to enhance ‘core socialist values,’ a term that generally denotes not criticizing the Chinese government,” observed Media Matters’ Matthew Gertz.

Translation: Musk is an opportunist lickspittle who'll do anything to break one of his companies into the Chinese market.


Who believes in this man anymore, whom first we applauded for his dreams?

He took the world's money and promised us Mars, but he has turned out to be nothing but another tin duke.

    I would like to thank @elonmusk for his call for peace across the Taiwan Strait and his idea about establishing a special administrative zone for Taiwan. Actually, Peaceful reunification and One Country, Two Systems are our basic principles for resolving the Taiwan question... Of course if Taiwan does not comply, everyone understands we are fully prepared to let reign hot, flaming death down their throats.
