Musk's ties to China raise concerns in U.S
Elon Musk's Tesla has expanded its presence in China with a new $200 million Megapack battery plant, adding to its existing Gigafactory in Shanghai. This facility is crucial for Tesla's global operations, producing half of its vehicles. Musk's financial ties to China raise concerns about his influence as a senior adviser to the U.S. government. While he is seen as a potential bridge between the U.S. and China, it is unclear whose interests he serves. As Tesla faces increasing competition in China, Musk's relationship with the Chinese government is vital for his business. His comments on U.S.-China relations have drawn mixed reactions, with some viewing him as an asset and others as a potential risk.
