For all the furore about which way Elon Musk might tilt US political discourse after getting the keys to Twitter Inc, his biggest challenges may emerge across the Pacific.

If our twitter bid succeeds, we will defeat the spam bots or die trying!Beijing has shown a willingness to punish billionaires who don’t comply with its wishes. Regulators have hammered the country’s tech giants and effectively banished Alibaba Group Holding Ltd co-founder Jack Ma from public view.

There are incentives on offer beyond the electric-vehicle market. Musk’s SpaceX could certainly seek Chinese customers, while his Boring Co may profit from lucrative infrastructure contracts in the country. And what of Twitter itself? A slice of the Chinese population employs virtual private networks to evade Beijing’s control and use the service. Could Beijing also offer up access to its 1,4 billion people? Perhaps under the right terms.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was an early adopter and has 78 million followers on the serviceBut the New Delhi government has insisted on far more control than Washington has ever been able to exert.

Modi’s administration insisted the San Francisco-based company take down posts critical of its actionsand Twitter at first refused to comply.
