Feel free to move to mainland China, Mr. Musk. It’s a good time to buy real estate in Hong Kong.

CCP: "We rocked some folks" What do you expect he could possibly say? The megalomaniac is now practically a CCP hostage. Or experiencing an investor version of Stockholm syndrome, in the best case.

I'm just curious how china will continue to rock after they lose access to intel, amd and nvidia. I'd be delighted to use a linux/bsd based risc-v phone/pc/laptop...but I'm less optimistic about general availability...

  Isn't everybody putting their eggs in the basket that is Taiwan, vis-a-vis chips, now? That seems like it could be an issue...

  In short, they are building their own domestic semiconductor industry. China's SMIC poached 3000+ engineers from Taiwan's TSMC (the fabricator for AMD, Nvidia, now Intel). China is putting all of its might behind SMIC and other domestic fabricators. They really only lack the latest generation of photolithographic machines, which they are trying their hardest to acquire from ASML (Dutch manufacturer of the litho machines used by TSMC and others.) The US managed to block that for now so there is something of a moat while China plays catch-up.

  In what way do you think it was out of context?

    I assume you are $TSLAQ. I find your subculture interesting, but don't you want to short something that really is garbage. Why not short Magic Leap, it honestly is nothing more than a hole for money for a product no one wants. It's the worst of the Valley and evil to humanity, you get both Schadenfreude and self satisfaction in one. And because it's actually structurally flawed to it's core it can be taken down to nothing, it's also winnable (although I would have said it was winnable three years ago, the Valley is a strange place)
