Elon Musk is sucking up to China, and it points to a dark future for Tesla

So far, Tesla has had success in China's fast-growing electric-vehicle market, but domestic competition is getting more fierce.

"What will likely happen is Musk will play with pricing on the Model Y to make up for the Model 3," Le said."In China it's the law of diminishing returns, though, because there's always new products. In the US and Europe that trick works, but in China that's not the case." "My message would be this: China's strategy when they target a certain industry is to get you into China and then eventually, over time, replace all your suppliers. 'Our supplier will be cheaper' or 'It's reliable.' Then they take technology away from you," Shum said, referring to a company's intellectual property."Once they replace all your suppliers, you are beholden to them. If you are Elon Musk, that's what you're looking out for.

A multi multi Billionaire does not make mistakes often. Media driven criticism is not going to hurt him

This is false.

Business Outsider Click Bait

Business insider. Another “media” outlet that curiously only has negative articles about Tesla I wonder why…

Is that why they're building their largest factory and their biggest battery manufacturing plant in USA? Oh i forgot, it doesn't fit your narrative.

try harder. not many subscribe to insider.

😈

At least choose a picture of a current car. Lazy.

Yo I thought you and your pet chihuahua lopezlinette said Tesla Shanghai was just a “muddy field” that would never produce cars? Why you getting so mad about a muddy field bruh? $TSLA Tesla elonmusk

Even without ever reading the article I can tell an idiot child wrote it. What self respecting, even slightly good, reporter would title an article with 'sucking' 'swashbuckling', 'morphing', 'flunky', genocide, when writing about any corporation. WTF, they don't even try anymore

China's 'great' for $TSLA's accounting. Can play all sorts of games.

I feel like Elon Musk is sucking up to China for 4 reasons. Irresponsibly cheap labor, lack of care towards supply chain, trying to get rocket and space technology from China, and 1 other reason that I don’t think I should say…

Let’s pretend that we don’t consume any Chinese products.

C_S_Skeptic Darker future

Ruhroh , here they come…

Tesla is more of a Chinese company than american company …

TechInsider FUD.

China is the holy grail of the automobile market. If you want to talk abt Tesla in China, lets talk about Ford, Audi, GM, Benz, Ferrari, Toyota, Suzuki and a shit ton more of automobile companies. Also not to mention the SpaceX and CNSA rivalry.

Elon is speaking of humanity as a whole. Tesla will be fine. Dark future is for haters&warmongers!

When does he start bringing in cars from China to the USA? I say by 2024.

This is the kind of news you see when institutional investors need a cheaper price to enter the market!!

Hi, I am a structural engineer from Iran who have many ideas. I have summarized some of my ideas on my twitter(I suggest look at the idea of generating electricity by gravity). I want to work with companies and investors. Do you want to cooperate?

Ooohhh... So cute... A new trash article from 'Miss Mudfield' Linette Lopez... Trying to fix her shredded credibility 🤡🤣 That's what you get if you suck up to shortsellers 😁

We need a coherent national policy across Administrations that forces Demented Dons and Demented Joes plus their cohorts and Parties to place American strategy, Allie’s, and ethics ahead of microeconomic gains.

So many of Elon's projects are just dribble. The Hyperloop (Failed), The Boring Company (Failed), Tesla Semi Trucks (Where are they?) Weren't the trucks meant to be delivered in 2019? Self Driving Tesla taxis?
