Former Trump White House trade adviser Peter Navarro has claimed that Elon Musk is “very vulnerable to the blackmail of the Chinese Communist Party.”
While some feel that tech mogul Musk’s recent move to buy Twitter outright is a sign that the restoration of free speech could return to the platform, to others, Musk is a threat to the Left’s control of the Internet.
Speaking at a TED event in Vancouver, Canada, on Thursday, Musk said that the reason he’s attempting to buy Twitter is not to make money but to reduce the “civilizational risk” censorship poses to democracy and freedom and to remove restrictions to free speech.
“I don’t trust Elon Musk,” Navarro told The Epoch Times.
“I don’t trust him because he made a deal with the communist Chinese devil to produce his Tesla cars there.
The purpose of the headline is to entice folks to click, not to convey truthful information about the article.
He certainly has used the vast powers of the state in China, to help build and develop his products. Via Chinese control and support. As per the sop for US companies, they usually bash America, but leave China alone. Musk Kowtow’s with the best of them in regards to China.
"Size" is not a determining factor. Intentions and capabilities certainly are.
Correct me if I am wrong. but I am sure I read somewhere that he’s been lowering his financial exposure in mainland China!
The article links below says that Teslas are mostly made in Fremont, California. (3 out of 4 factories in USA, one in China.) It seems to me his biggest exposure to China is batteries and battery materials and components. However, every EV manufacturer has that problem.

Sufficient leverage can be had with a phone call. I suspect you are well aware of that.
Peter Navarro has ties to Zack.?
So, what's Peter's FR nick?
Doesn't that mean that Musk is very vulnerable to Hunter Biden?
BTW, one of the Russian troll clickbait feeds on YT claims that Putin and Musk have signed a peace treaty.
Joe Biden kneels to no man, or woman, or underaged girl.
You’re right.
He bends over..................
A very good question. Do we have any GROPElite list of those who betrayed Trump , beginning with a bunch of Bushes, Romney, and Rowe?
See, I had a cute, inappropriate comment, but it was A) a little weird and B) probably better self-redacted.
