1. Chinese government is also pressuring Tesla because Elon has started work on militarizing space with StarShield and other preparation for Strategic Defense Initiative style capabilities in Low Earth Orbit.
2. Elon hasn't gotten much of the money for Strategic Defense Initiative contracts, nor is the entire program progressing much under Biden. He feels the Trump/Santis party, which embraced the project, needs to somehow continue by being boosted on Twitter.
This is pretty obvious when you read Chinese Weibo media and SpaceX history with Michael D. Griffin https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_D._Griffin#Career https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_D._Griffin#Career
