Elon Musk complains about China's ban on X
- noduerme 2y agoWasn't he just telephoning Berlin telling people not to feel bad about their history of xenophobia? https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/25/musk-german-afd-rally-weidel-00200620 https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/25/musk-german-afd-ral... So Germany should close their doors and China should open theirs... all in the same day, eh?
- basementcat 2y agoI think you’re making the (well intentioned) mistake of assuming he is a conscientious business person who operates in good faith and attempts to be consistent in his positions. He just wants more influence and power and he isn’t concerned about what he needs to do or say to get it.
- btschaegg 2y agoI read noduerme as explicitly observing that he isn't.
- belter 2y agoHe should read the Wikipedia page about Jack Ma and the period of October 2020 and January 2021...And not set foot in China soon....
- jaybrendansmith 2y agoHe better not visit Germany. Pretty sure with his Nazi salute, he has broken several laws there. I used to like Musk quite a bit. Now that he has shown us his true stripes, I find the man abhorrent. He is a disgrace and an embarrassment. I doubt very few would be tolerant of Nazis and Fascists, and indeed we should be completely intolerant of Musk.
- ggm 2y agoYou won't believe this one simple consumer led boycott trick which we now have evidence will really piss off the owner of X...
- maxglute 2y agoLobby for WFOE BYD in US first. Sell 50% of X China to a PRC JV who handles content filtering and censorship. Done.
- amai 2y agoHe will soon also have to complain about EU's ban on X.
