This makes me think Musk actually is in charge here. The dude is desperate to get more Teslas into China. If he’s pulling the strings you actually might see a bunch of policies favorable to China.
I mean, what we’ve seen so far is “up to 20 years in prison if you build an AI based on DeepSeek”. Musk does have an interest in the Chinese market both for sales and manufacturing, but i wonder if he wouldn’t have to give that up in the future, given that Teslas can only compete when you hit Chinese BEV manufacturers with the biggest tariff stick you can get your hands on. The current government’s main backers are all people who’ve bazinga’ed themselves into a corner and are sitting on portfolios threatened by the imminent collapse of the bubble they’ve ridden for the last decade, and it’s gonna be wild to see how they struggle to fight that.
