>In remarks to a hearing convened by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Wynn-Williams alleged that Meta executives worked vigorously to “win favor” with leaders in Beijing to build an $18 billion business in China.

Has Hawley demonstrated similar interest about Elon's business dealings in China? Elon owes much of his net worth to the CCP's Shanghai factory.




What does that have to do with the topic at hand? Nearly every CEO at a company making physical products from 1990 onward owes much of their net worth to Chinese factories.


He's not just a CEO. He's someone who nearly managed to invite himself to a top-secret briefing about military strategy against China.


I think Musk got one of the biggest concessions ever without any precedent, something like 100% ownership where no other car plant ever got that before.


The CCP can seize that at any moment, and I think will in the event of economic war.

Certainly if they invade Taiwan and there's a hot response from the US


For the other car plants up until his they already take some ownership from the beginning without a war in Taiwan.


And Ukraine got the minsk agreements, the 1990 "assurances" of independence , concessions and contracts by countries without legal system and kinglike rulers are worthless. So he had a extraordinary piece of paper? So what..


I don't think that anyone could have predicted one year ago where Elon Musk would be today.

I think the same is true of next year.

That man is full of surprises.


I predict he's not gonna be on Mars.


That is charitable.

I see a clear path of decline.


Hawley was one of the first congresscritters to plan to overturn the 2020 election.

Nothing he does or says is legitimate. It's all about power.
