    I just finished TrueAnon's 3-parter on this motherfucker, what investments? Is he gonna sell ZEV certificates there too? Is he gonna try to build another tent factory in Beijing to build fucked up model S's, what fucking investments!!!!! It's all Fonzi Cream!

    Seriously, though, the biggest take away from the whole thing is that the American Economy writ large is incredibly, mind-numbingly stupid

    It would be funny if he went to China thinking they would never kill him like their billionaires and he was wrong.

        China Executes 14 Billionaires in 8 Years, Culture News Reports

        China executed 14 people with assets of at least a 1 billion yuan ($155 million) during the past eight years as the government expanded its fight against corruption, according to the New Culture News newspaper.

        The dead include Yuan Baojing, a former stockbroker executed by lethal injection in 2006 for the murder of a man who had tried to blackmail him, according to the report. Wang Zhendong, chairman of the Yingkou Donghua Trading Group, was executed in 2008 for a scheme that persuaded investors to buy and breed ants, the report said.

          Why would they kill Musk? I mean he is not even gonna be there but it's much different killing some local wannabe mobster and Elon Musk, who's not even their citizen and are seemingly trying to attract.

            Why would they kill Musk?

            I mean, they'd probably just deport him if anything. But I think the age of China seeking Western VC is increasingly behind us. Beijing has material infrastructure while the West just has a declining rate of profit. There are plenty of other countries that can do American style investing, but nobody else with the Chinese industrial base and professional population.

      Depends on whether he can actually leverage his voice or not. If they think he's actually useful in pushing back against fighting China then they might be inclined to keep him as a hanger-on.

      This is afterall precisely why they operate the way they do, so that an incentive exists for the foreign bourgeoisie to oppose action against them.
