Musk made comments to the All-In Summit in Los Angeles uploaded to YouTube this week. “Their [Beijing’s] policy has been to reunite Taiwan with China. From their standpoint, maybe it is analogous to Hawaii or something like that, like an integral part of China that is arbitrarily not part of China mostly because … the US Pacific Fleet has stopped any sort of reunification effort by force,” he said.

Taiwan foreign minister Joseph Wu, in a post on X late Wednesday, responded that he hoped Musk could ask China to “open @X to its people“.

        I mean, I don’t actually believe this, but it’s so stupid I can’t think of any other reason you’d do this.

    So this makes it painfully obvious that Elon doesn’t know how the US overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy and overtook the territory.

    Or…. maybe he does and he’s pro-colonization, with all the genocide that entails.
