Billionaire Elon Musk was showered with praise during a trip to China this week, with people on social media calling him "a pioneer", "Brother Ma" and "a global idol" while the CEO of Tesla (TSLA.O), Twitter, SpaceX and other companies also met in person with three government ministers.
Since landing in Beijing on Tuesday, Musk has met with China's foreign, commerce and industry ministers and has dined with Zeng Yuqun, chairman of top battery supplier CATL (300750.SZ).
Little is known of those conversations. The industry ministry only said Musk and its head exchanged views about development of electric vehicles and connected cars;

They’ve made a lot of money sell lithium and colbalt for batteries.
Looks like the commies are sending in A list actresses to weadle their way into Musk’s inner circle. I saw a vid of Fan Bing Bing clutching Elon’s mother’s arm ‘I’d be happy to date your son in exchange for industrial secrets’.
China wants Elon Musk and his innovations. The Rocket tech alone would ensure they were top tier for the eventual early space developments to come.

Welcome round eyes you make deals?.
According to Peter Schweizer, no one needs to date Musk. If anyone does business in China, the CCP has access to everything. All the research, R&D, plans, specs, you name it. Part of the deal I guess. We provide slave labor and give you the required metal for your cars, we get anything we want.
Interestingly, the Chinese made EV is one of the best selling, if not the best selling out there...https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/chinas-electric-car-drive-led-by-byd-leaves-global-brands-behind-2023-04-17/
And if/when they want to completely dominate the industry, they won’t give anyone lithium or cobalt. And that’s a wrap.
Thats true for Tesla but remember Musk has other enterprises I’m sure China would love more information on.
They are never more polite than when they are just about to stick the knife in.
That’s just it.
If what Schweizer is saying is true, and from what I can tell that guy and his crew do legit verification of anything they put out with sources and footnotes, the Chinese have access to everything.
Schweizer was on a podcast with a guy named Shawn Ryan. I’m not much of a podcast fan but Ryan’s show is pretty good, as he lets his guests talk. Schweizer spells it all out.

What he says on here is fascinating and disgusting. To think our government not only allows it, they’re part and parcel of it.
Hell, Google won’t work with our military but will work with the Chinese government and intelligence apparatus.
Recall Apple refusing to give cell info to the FBI investigating the Boston Marathon bombers but helped the Chinese communist government suppress anti-government protests.
In China he is known fondly as Eron
Yup .... Really makes you wonder what the Chinese have on these people. No way it’s just money.
If Pres Trump wins, have him slap a $15-20k, per Tesla EV, on his cars. Let’s see how that works for Tesla.
These corporations own the US government, China owns them by virtue of the market they want access to.
