Elon Musk's FINAL WARNING About China: "They Will Kill Us!"

 elon musk's final warning about china    they will kill us    as soon as elon musk opened a factory in    shanghai in 2019 the chinese government    greeted him with hundreds of billions of    dollars of cheap land loans tax breaks    and subsidies musk appreciated it and    said i really think china is the future    however for tesla the road has been    lucrative since then with a quarter of    the company's sales coming to china in    the year 2021 but not without a few    challenges over the past year the    company has been facing a consumer and    regulatory revolt in china over    manufacturing floors in addition to his    deal to take over twitter mr musk's ties    to china are about to become even more    fraught with trouble so let's talk about    this in today's video make sure to reading   the article till the end  that being    said let's get started    so as with all foreign investors in    china musk operates tesla at the    pleasure of the chinese government which    has become increasingly willing to    influence or punish companies that cross    political red lines among the many    concessions apple has made to china    including censorship its app store is    its submission to chinese demands it's    not unlikely that musk's extensive    investments in china could be at risk if    twitter upsets the communist party state    which has banned the platform at home    but which it uses extensively to promote    beijing's foreign policy across the    globe often with false or misleading    information furthermore china now has an    investor who is primarily interested in    china's economic growth and has taken    control of one of the world's most    influential megaphones for instance when    shanghai shut down tesla's factory as    part of a city-wide effort to curb the    latest code 19 outbreak musk didn't say    anything despite lambasting officials in    alameda county california for taking    similar steps when the pandemic began in    2020 jessica maddox who is an assistant    professor of digital media technology at    the university of alabama said that it's    concerning to think about what could be    a conflict of interests in these    situations looking at this information    that could come out of china how would    he as now an owner of this company    handle that since all of his investments    are tied up there or most of them even    jeff bezos amazon's founder 

and one of    mr musk's biggest rivals in tech space    and now media weighed in on twitter to    question china's potential sway over the    platform bezos said did the chinese    government just gain a bit of leverage    over the town square in his speech mr    musk did not specify his plans for    changing twitter except to promise it    would be a platform for free speech    while banning bots and artificial    accounts that populate its user base    china's propagandists may find a simple    pledge on bots enough to annoy them    since they have openly purchased fake    accounts and used them to counter claims    of human rights abuses in xinjiang    it is not clear whether he intends to    restore some of beijing's most eminent    users as accounts or remove labels that    identify some of them as officials of    the states there is no doubt that china    has recognized the potential of twitter    to spread information throughout the    country after ethnic riots began between    muslims and han chinese in urumqi the    capital of xinjiang the western region    of china the chinese government banned    twitter in 2009 and subsequently    launched a mass re-education and    detention campaign that the united    states has described as genocide despite    the ban china continued to use the    platform to extend its influence    overseas this movement intensified in    2019 after images of pro-democracy    protests in hong kong spread across the    internet on a global scale    chinese state media use tactics they    usually use for domestic audiences    accusing the cia of orchestrating the    protests and broadcasting lurid videos    of protester violence while ignoring    police brutality the voices of a growing    chorus of chinese diplomats many of whom    were new to twitter began echoing the    harsh tone of the country's state media    slamming down critics and impugning    countries that offered encouragement    described as wolf warriors after a    popular nationalist movie these    officials received support from a murky    moss of botlike accounts    many of the accounts were taken down by    the end of 2019 and both facebook and    youtube followed suit    after the coronavirus pandemic began the    chinese government redoubled its efforts    unfazed there were a number of diplomats    and representatives of state media who    used twitter to spread conspiracy    theories suggesting the coronavirus had    been released from a u.s bioweapons    laboratory and questioning the validity    of mrna vaccines since then inauthentic    networks of bots have spread videos    disputing human rights violations in    xinjiang downplaying the disappearance    of peng shui the chinese tennis player    who accused a top official of sexual    assault and praising the winter olympics    in beijing through all this twitter has    released reports on the networks often    with the help of cyber security experts    who have linked them to china's    government it was one of the first to    label government-backed accounts and    more recently links to government media    china state affiliated    according to darren linville a professor    at clemson university who studies social    media disinformation twitter despite    knowing china's techniques has struggled    to stop the country's information    campaigns he wrote it doesn't matter    whether an individual account is    suspended or thousands of accounts they    create at an astounding rate and by the    time the account is suspended which is    often very quickly the account has    already done its job    in 2019 murong shoichun an author who is    well known in the literary world was    questioned for four hours by police    following the publication of two tweets    he sent three years earlier one of the    photographs displayed a clearly    photoshopped image of any kid cheating    ping china's top leader on a wrecking    ball on the other hand there was a    cartoon that showed mr xi shooting down    santa's reindeer from the sky mr murong    said i think the chinese government will    be happy that he bought twitter and in    the days and weeks to come it will use    his business in china to pressure him to    control twitter and help censor those    who criticize the communist party and    governments mr murong said he and his    friends call the harassment of twitter    users inside china the complete twitter    cleanup he estimates the police have    made inquiries about the posts of tens    of thousands if not hundreds of people    chinese officials use of foreign social    media as well as the punitive campaign    show the government is concerned about    what is being said there he said    describing the effort as an attempt to    carry out public opinion and ideological    wars abroad he then added that this    government has done many similar things    and will not stop in the future i don't    know how musk will deal with this    pressure but looking at his attitude    toward china i think he might turn into    a big chinese censorship machine wang    wenbin a spokesman for china's ministry    of foreign affairs did not answer    questions on tuesday regarding twitter    and mr musk's investments in the country    but he replied to one question i can    tell you are very good at speculating    but without any basis in fact mr bezos    revised this post about china's    potential leverage over twitter to    suggest that mr musk could strike a    delicate balance he wrote that musk is    extremely good at navigating this kind    of complexity    even so mr musk's takeover could lead to    less transparency due to its public    company status twitter was subject to    pressure from shareholders when    disinformation account bans and rule    enforcement affected its share price due    to this the platform was forced to    explain its policy on countering    information campaigns like those    originating from china that's why musk    plans to take the company private so he    has less prerogative to respond to such    inquiries    as angelo karasorn president of the    watchdog group media matters for america    stated even if we only take him at what    he says that twitter will help drive    more democratic pro-democracy reforms    here and abroad he has essentially    created a back door for the chinese    government to manipulate what he has    hailed as a strong defense of free    speech    although we don't know what is going to    happen in the future we know musk never    does anything based on speculation or    the good side of people anyway what do    you all think about this let us know in    the comments
