Apparently freedom-loving Elon likes the Chinese government much better than Alameda County's.
Exactly! Tesla knows far more about what needs to be done to be safe through our Tesla China factory experience than an (unelected) interim junior official in Alameda County.

But to say that they cannot leave their house, and they will be arrested if they do, this is fascist. This is not democratic. This is not freedom. Give people back their goddamn freedom.

- cft 6y agoChina is freer economically: its economic freedom trajectory is trending up while Bay Area's is trending down. You can also see the growth numbers in both places.
- tenpies 6y ago> China is freer economically Freer economically as long as the Party wants you to be free. Otherwise they'll bankrupt you overnight. I am incredibly curious to see how the Tesla Shanghai project plays out, given some of the extremely favourable clauses that China got out of Musk. I would bet that the factory is not really Tesla's any more within 5 years, and that Tesla Shanghai begins cannibalizing Tesla Proper's sales this year. For reference: money earned by Tesla Shanghai cannot leave China, so every sale they make abroad is money that will be in China for a long while.
- busymom0 6y agoI would recommend Elon's recent podcast on Joe Rogan. They have 8000 employees in China and 0 deaths. He knows what he's doing.
- aguyfromnb 6y agoThe podcast was boring nonsense. Elon or China claiming things don't make them true.
