Communist BFF: Elon Musk's Extensive History of Cozying Up to Red China
Over the past few years, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has made great efforts to impress the Chinese government, stating that the country is "the future" and that America is full of "complacency and entitlement." Breitbart News has collected the most notorious examples of Musk cozying up to the Communist party, which reached full steam in 2021.
Breitbart News has reported for some time on Tesla and Space CEO Elon Musk's attempts to gain a foothold in China which includes setting up Tesla factories in the country, praising the communist dictatorship as "the future," and celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
In 2019, Musk appeared alongside Alibaba Group founder Jack Ma at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai where they discussed the opening of Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory. At the event, Musk stated:
I spend a lot of my time on sustainable energy with tesla with you know electric cars and solar and batteries and that kind of thing and I'm really excited to be here in Shanghai for the Shanghai Gigafactory which is I think that Tesla china team has done an amazing job on. It is really mind-blowing like I'm just astounded by how good the job is and how much progress has been made and I think it's a good story for the world and to say like look how much progress you can make in China.
This is extremely impressive like my hat is off you know you guys rock so I've never seen anything but so fast in my life before. To be totally Frank I've seen some crazy things so you know I think it's like I really think China is the future.
In August 2020, Musk stated in an interview on the Daily Drive podcast by Automotive News that people in the United States are "entitled" and "complacent" while Chinese citizens are "smart" and "hard-working people." Breitbart News wrote at the time:
Jason Stein, the publisher of Automotive News who conducted the interview with Musk, asked him "How about China as an EV strategy leader in the world?" to which Musk replied: "China rocks in my opinion. The energy in China is great. People there - there's like a lot of smart, hard-working people. And they're really - they're not entitled, they're not complacent, whereas I see in the United States increasingly much more complacency and entitlement especially in places like the Bay Area, and L.A. and New York."
Chinese government officials helped Tesla secure loans worth approximately $1.6 billion last year to construct Tesla's Shanghai facility. Despite the Shanghai government helping Tesla to begin production again after the region was struck by a Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, Musk claims that the Chinese government is not as helpful to Tesla as it is to domestic companies.
"They have been supportive. But it would be weird if they were more supportive to a non-Chinese company. They're not," said Musk. During the interview, Musk also compared the U.S., California, and New York to sports teams about to lose their winning status.
"When you've been winning for too long you sort of take things for granted," Musk stated. "The United States, and especially like California and New York, you've been winning for too long. When you've been winning too long you take things for granted. So, just like some pro sports team they win a championship you know a bunch of times in a row, they get complacent and they start losing."
