Musk praises Communist Chinese slaves for being hardworking slaves.

The great irony is that Mao and his radical communism paved the way for China to become in our age a statist, quasi-capitalist production powerhouse, and turn its workers into automatons.

I wonder how well electric cars work underwater or that matter how well Chinese workers do for that matter?

Musk has no idea just how efficent his Chinese workers really are Every manufacturing technique, patent and design are being stolen and will ultimately be given to Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers. Doubt he will be able to distrubute one dollar of profit from his Chinese operations to his stockholders. Within ten tears Tesla will “sell” its Chinese based operations to the Chinese. Doubt they will ever see a profit. No doubt he is also being “encouraged” to employ Chinese engineers in his Space X facilities.

But there is now one HUGE worry: what happens if the Three Gorges Dam breaks. Tesla's Gigafactory 3 location is potentially highly vulnerable to flooding if the Yangtze overflows severely from a dam break.

From Dictionary.com:

Musk Origins:

late Middle English: from late Latin muscus, from Persian mušk, perhaps from Sanskrit muska ‘scrotum’ (because of the similarity in shape of the sac on the abdomen of a male musk deer in which musk is produced).

So Elon the scrotum...

Sure, Elon. Whatever. Just keep playing one side against the other, right? What could possibly go wrong with attaching to the CCP?

Both my ex and current wife are Chinese, I’ve been to China a lot - especially the southern provinces.

China has its own entitlement mentality, but obviously Musk never sees that. Two hour lunches so the workers can take a nap for example. Corruption off the scale, beyond anything Americans can imagine.

Chinese workers will tolerate horrific working and living conditions for very low pay as long as the job provides room and board (then they go home for a day every so often). Families understand when the bread winner is away most of the year - as their marital relationships are not as close as ours here. (Hence the first ex in my case.)

The middle and upper middle class in China are total assholes. They act as though they rule the world, and are the CCP members. The lowly workers are great people - as they tend to come from rural areas - a lot like the US.

Every time I’m in China I tend to stay out in the countryside among the normals.

People there, there's like a lot of smart, hard working people. And they're really, they're not entitled, they're not complacent.

True. Too bad they're all subject to a Communist dictatorship which uses slave labor at home and openly threatens every neighboring nation.

From wiki

Late Greek μόσχος 'moskhos', from Persian 'mushk', similar to Sanskrit मुष्क muṣka, derived from Proto-Indo-European noun "mouse". The deer gland was thought to resemble a scrotum.

musk stinks

We have allowed ourselves to be handicapped that is for sure.

During the nineties the company I worked for when to Washington to complain about the fact our patents were being stolen by the Chinese.

They were told, "well go invent something else then."

When they responded, "So they can steal that?" they were told, "I am sure you can keep ahead of them."

I worked at a place that installed those fake convertible tops, landau tops and fancy trimmings on new cars. There were two chinese brothers working there and they did the Cadillacs because they were the best and fastest. They were never late, never left early. They brought their lunch with them so they never took lunch a minute or three longer than the half hour. They never stood around and had a conversation for 10 minutes.

The American born people working there loved to stand around and talk about the sports game from the night before or a girl or whatever. Came in hung over on Mondays. Sneaked out a few minutes early on Fridays. Complained about every damn thing. Argued with each other etc etc.

Musk has a point.

Same with some hispanics. Very hard diligent workers compared to lazy Americans.
