I looked up “core socialist values.” After reading several interpretations most of which quoted Zi’s “thoughts” I decided on my interpretation. It’s a fox and a chicken deciding on what the fox is having for dinner. Virtually all of the interpretations include common ownership of the means of production and the workers making the decisions. This is suicide for Tesla.
The question is, will the CCP have “common ownership” of all of Tesla or just the part in China? Will Tesla have to do the same thing in other countries as far as letting the workers set the rules?
The industrialists who backed Hitler thought they’d be in control. It didn’t work out well. Probably, Tesla is going to try to keep things running as long as they can and then bail when it all folds in on itself.
So - how many other companies that operate in China get to bypass this?
I’d wager the majority of them either do it or don’t open for business - but they call out Musk because that’s what leftists do - call out folks they disagree with - and, ironically, accuse them of acting under leftist “values”..
