Musk on Taiwan

Post by bob sterman » Mon Oct 10, 2022 5:40 am

After cave rescues in mini-subs and the Ukraine war - Musk is now an expert on Taiwan...

"Tesla chief executive Elon Musk said Taiwan should become a special administrative zone of China."

Interesting he should say this when he's about to purchase Twitter (currently banned in China).

Don’t you know that being the world’s richest man makes you an expert on world politics?

Well I know that interfering in world politics has the potential to make a very rich man richer.

Doesn't Taiwan's constitution still agree with the One China policy (even if their politicians aren't looking to annex Beijing), or have they changed it? Maybe they could toss a coin. Heads China becomes an administrative zone of Taiwan, tails Taiwan becomes an administrative zone of China.

Like Hong Kong? So how's that working out for them then, Elon? Something Taiwan would be eager to participate in?
