“Elon Musk stated in a recent interview that people in the United States are “entitled” and “complacent” while Chinese citizens are “smart” and “hard-working people.””

A lot of truth to that statement.

No. He’s talking about Millenials in California and NY and other leftist locals. He’s not wrong about them. Not at all. They are for the most part entitled, lazy, spoiled brats. Products of our entirely dysfunctional, entitled, and lazy Public Education system and their liberal parents.
They are the ones rioting on the left coast, St. Louis, and NYC.

He is somewhat correct about certain Americans but, he should never be allowed to do any business with China.

Oh wait, that’s the problem with many a business in this land today.

Why?

This is a clickbait article using out of context quotes. Recently, Musk has openly criticized Marx on Twitter and done battle with local liberal government in California.

Well for the most part he’s not wrong.

I don’t think his opinion is reason to cancel him.

“Can you say “ingrate”?”

Can you say “the truth hurts”?

I don’tthink he’s far off the mark.

There are millions of Americans who feel entitled to feed at the public tit and show no appreciation for it.

Most freepers are aghast that he would say something like that, yet they are the first to complain about multi generational welfare queens, drug addled bums, the hundreds of welfare programs, food stamps up the wazoo, etc, etc.

America and Americans are not what it used to be.

Bring all the factories back, and we’ll see who’s the hard working.

And attempting to defy the laws of nature will eventually lead to discouragement, then facing reality.

"people in the United States are “entitled” and “complacent” while Chinese citizens are “smart” and “hard-working people."

Apparently anybody that doesn't want to work on his electric car plantation has an attitude problem, according to Musk.

I have read that the US government intends to “leapfrog” Chinese space capabilities by having cheap, reuseable space vehicles. The US government is heavily subsidizing these operations, through NASA. It is part of the Space Force national strategy, and it would be insane that we’d spend all this money, and the Chinese would be able to steal the technology and gain parity in space, within a year. As it stands now, the Chinese are 20 years behind the US, in space. Musk had best begin weeding out the inevitable Chinese spies that are surely embedded within his company.

This is a national strategic advantage, that is expected to add an additional leg to the current nuclear triad. How space is going to be weaponized depends on who gets there first with strike and defensive weapons platforms.

Elon Musk has been saying weird and contradictory things for a couple of years now (remember the thailand case?)

He puts in 16 hour days, 7 days a week and gets less than 5 hours sleep per night.

He needs to rest.

Chinese people work 12 hour shifts with 3 days off per month. They move from villages into cities hundreds of miles away and can’t afford to take their families with them. While they are away working the CCP floods the villages to keep the cities dry. I definitely want to take the word of a billionaire when it comes to cheap labor.

He’s exactly right. There is more entitlement & complacency in America than hard work & sacrifice.
