ELON MUSK HAS GOTTEN A LOT OF FLAK FOR THINGS
HE’S SAID ON TWITTER. BUT WHAT HE’S NOT GETTING 00:00:05
ENOUGH FLAK FOR IS HIS IGNORANT COMMENTS ON CHINA.
Welcome to China Uncensored, I’m Chris Chappell.00:00:13
So Elon Musk styles himself
a champion of free speech.00:00:17
He claims to be a “free speech absolutist.”00:00:20
And to hear him tell it, he doesn’t censor
himself, even when money is on the line.
00:00:25
Musk: I’ll say what I want to say and if
the consequence of that is losing money, 00:00:30
so be it.
Faber: OK00:00:33
Recently, when a number of companies
pulled advertising from X in response to 00:00:37
Musk agreeing with what they claimed was
an antisemitic post, he had this to say.00:00:44
Musk: Don’t advertise.
Andrew Ross Sorkin: You don’t 00:00:46
want them to advertise?
Musk: No. 00:00:47
Ross Sorkin: What do you mean?
Musk: If someone’s going to 00:00:51
try to blackmail me with advertising,
blackmail me with money, go **** yourself.00:00:57
And when he decided last week to reinstate Alex
Jones on X, he said “are we a platform that 00:01:04
believes in freedom of speech or are we not?”
and that “principles matter more than money.”00:01:10
That all sounds great, and, in many ways, X
has become much more free speech friendly since 00:01:16
Musk took over. But there are plenty of signs
that his “free speech absolutism” stops at the 00:01:22
Chinese border.Recently, Musk was asked if he’s
being hypocritical by doing business in China, 00:01:28
considering his stance on free speech.
Ross Sorkin: How do you feel about, 00:01:33
some people would say is it hypocritical
for you to be doing business in China 00:01:38
or, in frankly, in other countries
as it relates to X and other things, 00:01:41
that don’t follow this free speech
path that you have espoused.00:01:46
Listen to how he dodges that question.
Musk: Well first of all, Starlink and SpaceX do, 00:01:53
are, no business in China whatsoever. Tesla has
one of four factories, four vehicle factories, 00:02:01
in China, and China is, you know, I
don’t know, a quarter of our market, 00:02:06
or something like that. And so it’s a quarter
of a market of one company. The same is true, 00:02:11
by the way, of all the other car companies.00:02:14
Okay, so only one of your companies does business
in China. It still does business in China, 00:02:21
which is led by a repressive regime. That doesn’t
sound very much like free speech absolutism. 00:02:27
Also, according to China
Passenger Car Association, 00:02:30
China accounts for more than
half of Tesla’s global sales.00:02:35
So China isn’t just a fraction of the sales of one
of his companies. If Tesla couldn’t sell to the 00:02:41
China market, it would *sink* Tesla, which could
explain Musk’s lackluster answer.In addition, 00:02:48
“Tesla has been winning various concessions
from local [Chinese] authorities ranging from 00:02:52
approvals to preferential loans”.And lets not
forget the tax breaks,and Chinese government 00:02:58
subsidies that he’s gotten there.It sounds
like a little tiny bit more than just “hey, 00:03:04
Tesla does some business in China.”
Further, other car companies may do business with 00:03:10
China, but they aren’t led by self-styled free
speech absolutists, so they don’t have to worry 00:03:15
about whether or not they’re being hypocritical.
Musk goes on.00:03:19
“I can only do things that are within the
bounds of the law. I cannot do beyond that. 00:03:24
My aspiration is to do as much good as possible
and be as productive as possible within the bounds 00:03:28
of what is legal.”The last time I checked,
it’s perfectly legal to simply choose not to 00:03:34
do business in China. But Musk has gone farther
than most other companies in normalizing China’s 00:03:41
crimes against humanity.Last year, Tesla
opened a showroom in Xinjiang. The US and 00:03:46
several other countries have accused the Chinese
government of committing genocide in Xinjiang, 00:03:51
so opening a showroom there looks a lot like
whitewashing China’s crimes.Musk was also one 00:03:57
of the business leaders who gladhanded with
Xi Jinping during a dinner at APEC this year. 00:04:02
But it’s not just the way Musk dodges
responsibility for doing business in 00:04:06
China. Musk has also said a number of
things that are not only untrue but 00:04:12
that are straight out of the CCP’s propaganda
book. I’ll tell you what he said in a minute.00:04:16
But first, when it comes to the news, 00:04:19
you want to make sure you’re getting all
the news, from multiple perspectives.00:04:22
Like when it comes to Elon Musk, 00:04:24
there’s a lot of different perspectives
about him and his companies. Which is why 00:04:28
I used Ground News to see how he’s being
covered across the political spectrum.00:04:33
Recently, after all those
advertisers pulled out of Twitter, 00:04:36
there’s been this story about how Elon Musk
supposedly promoted the Pizzagate theory.00:04:41
Ground News shows how 24 different articles are 00:04:43
covering it—but most of them lean
left on the political spectrum.00:04:47
It’s interesting to see how the narrative differs
depending on the source: “The left emphasizes the 00:04:53
controversy surrounding Musk's posts and their
promotion of conspiracy theories. In contrast, 00:04:58
the right focuses on the resurfacing of
debate about the Pizzagate controversy.”00:05:03
You can also see more about the media covering
that story, for example how The Washington 00:05:07
Post is owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos,
has “mixed factuality”, and leans left. 00:05:13
This kind of context is why I use Ground News—to
see how topics are being covered by sources around 00:05:18
the world, sources that may have conflicting
motives, like to hurt a rival billionaire. 00:05:24
Ground News is on a mission to hold the media
accountable and provide context so we can see how 00:05:28
media narratives can easily shape public opinion.
It’s a great place to go if you want to be more 00:05:33
informed than the average newsreader and find
multiple perspectives that you might otherwise 00:05:38
have missed. And it’s also just really interesting
to see all the hidden biases in the media.00:05:43
And that’s why we’re working with
Ground News to sponsor this video, 00:05:46
because we believe what
they’re doing is important.00:05:49

And now, back to Musk’s China mistakes.
During the interview last month, not only 00:06:10
did Musk dodge questions about doing business
in China, but he also used CCP talking points.00:06:15
For example, when asked if he thought TikTok
was a US national security threat, here’s what 00:06:22
he had to say.Ross Sorkin: but do you think the
Chinese government is using it to manipulate the 00:06:28
minds of Americans?Musk: No.
Ross Sorkin: Is that something 00:06:30
that you think we should worry about? I mean you
have different states that are trying to ban it. 00:06:34
Musk: I don't think this is
some Chinese government plot.00:06:38
Ohhh, but TikTok is being used by the
Chinese government. And not in a good way.00:06:44
Just a few months ago, a
former employee of ByteDance, 00:06:47
which is the Chinese company that owns TikTok,
said that the Chinese government spied on Hong 00:06:51
Kong activists using TikTok.And this is
on top of a mountain of other evidence 00:06:57
that Chinese government censorship
is alive and well on the platform.00:07:01
TikTok’s algorithm was created by
Chinese engineers, the same ones that 00:07:06
created the algorithm for China’s
version of TikTok, called Douyin. 00:07:10
So it certainly can’t be trusted. You can
bet that if the Chinese government can 00:07:14
tinker with the algorithm, to say, influence
an election, it’s going to try to do that.00:07:20
That’s not all, though.00:07:21
Musk’s comments on Taiwan were just as bad, 00:07:24
if not worse. I’ll tell you more,
after the break.Welcome back.00:07:30
Elon Musk was recently asked about
how to avoid war over Taiwan.
00:07:34
In his response, he cites the Thucydides Trap,
which is a theory that says there will always 00:07:40
be war when a rising superpower displaces the
current superpower.Musk: So the United States 00:07:46
has been the most powerful economic engine in
the world longer than anyone’s been alive. And 00:07:58
the foundation of war is economics. So now we
have a situation in the case of China where the 00:08:10
economy is likely to be two, perhaps three times
larger than that of the US.That’s…flat out wrong.00:08:19
First of all, even by official numbers, which
China usually doctors, China’s GDP is still behind 00:08:25
the US.Now, before Covid, a lot of economists
predicted China would overtake the US within a 00:08:31
decade. But now, a lot of economists are revising
their predictions because of major structural 00:08:37
issues in China’s economy that are now coming
home to roost.Moody’s recently downgraded China’s 00:08:43
credit rating from stable to negative because
of all of its debt,And the foreign investment, 00:08:48
which China desperately needs to get its economy
back on track, has been drying up.The government 00:08:54
has resorted to silencing economists who
give anything less than a rosy picture of 00:08:58
the economy.Which should give a pretty clear
idea of just how bad China’s economy is right 00:09:03
now.So either Musk hasn’t been paying attention
or he’s self-censoring to curry favor with the 00:09:09
Chinese regime.The other incredible claim he made
recently was that China isn’t interested in taking 00:09:16
over other countries.The good news is, the history
of China suggests that China is not inquisitive, 00:09:22
meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a
whole bunch of countries. Now they do feel very 00:09:27
strongly… So that’s good. I mean, because a lot
of very powerful countries have been inquisitive. 00:09:34
Okay, so one of the first things
the CCP did after taking over China, 00:09:38
was invading Tibet in 1950.Then it
twice attempted to invade Taiwan and 00:09:44
failed. That was called the first
and second Taiwan Strait Crisis.00:09:48
In 1962 China invaded India. In 1979 China invaded 00:09:52
Vietnam. Neither of those
worked out great for China.00:09:56
Today China has been illegally building entire
villages inside the borders of its neighbor, 00:10:01
Bhutan.And as recently as 2020, India
and China both lost soldiers after China 00:10:07
moved its troops past its de facto border with
India.Also, in a map released earlier this year, 00:10:15
China re-opened a territorial dispute with
Russia that had been a settled issue for years. 00:10:21
And for decades, it’s claimed almost the
entire South China Sea belongs to it, despite 00:10:26
international law saying otherwise.The country
is embroiled in its disputes with many of its 00:10:31
southeast Asian neighbors over the South China
sea. China claims almost all of the sea as its 00:10:38
territory, pointing to a 9-dash line that
first appeared on Chinese maps in 1953. But 00:10:45
the Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, Taiwan and
Malaysia, also claim parts of these waters 00:10:51
as their own.In addition, China told the US
it wouldn’t militarize islands in the South 00:10:56
China Sea that both China and several other
countries claim.But then, a few years later, 00:11:01
it did just that.Then there’s the agreement China
had with the UK over Hong Kong. China said Hong 00:11:07
Kong could remain independent of the mainland for
50 years after the UK handed it over to China. 00:11:13
However, after just 23 years, however, it just
took over Hong KongSo when Musk says China 00:11:19
hasn’t been historically inquisitive, he’s either
really ignorant of history, or he’s playing dumb 00:11:24
to appease his Chinese overlords. Now, Musk does
acknowledge that China wants to take over Taiwan, 00:11:30
which has been an independent country for
over 70 years. But listen to how he frames it. 00:11:36
From their standpoint, it would be like
one of the states is not there like Hawaii 00:11:43
or something like that but more significant
than Hawaii, you know. And Hawaii is pretty 00:11:50
significant for us.Thanks for helping us better
understand the Communists, Elon. I wonder why 00:11:55
you don’t talk about Taiwan’s standpoint. It’s
also bogus. Hawaii has been a part of the US 00:12:01
since 1959. And except for a small secession
movement, it’s not trying to be an independent 00:12:06
country. Most Hawaiians like being American.
Taiwan, on the other hand, does not see itself 00:12:12
as part of China.Most people there identify as
Taiwanese rather than Chinese,and their views of 00:12:19
China are mostly negative.The main reason Taiwan
isn’t part of China is because the majority of 00:12:25
Taiwanese people don’t want to be part of it.
And Taiwan is run completely independently.00:12:32
The CCP likes to say that the real reason
Taiwan isn’t part of China is because the 00:12:37
United States is keeping them apart, and
Musk has echoed that idea.So they view 00:12:45
it as really that there’s a fundamental part
of China, the island of Formosa, now Taiwan, 00:12:54
that is not part of China, but should be. And
the only reason it hasn’t been is because the 00:13:00
US Pacific fleet.But that’s simply not accurate.
It’s true that the US military is probably the 00:13:05
main thing keeping China from invading. But
saying that really distorts the dynamic. 00:13:11
US policy on Taiwan says that if Taiwan
and China want to unite peacefully, 00:13:15
without any coercion or aggression, the US
wouldn’t stand in the way. Like I said before, 00:13:20
it’s Taiwan’s resistance to being part of
China that is the real reason they’re not 00:13:25
one country. Musk has also said in the
past that he thinks Taiwan should agree 00:13:30
to become a “special administrative zone” of
China to avoid a war.But he thinks that this 00:13:35
special administrative zone would somehow be
“more lenient than Hong Kong.”Since clearly 00:13:41
“leniency” was the problem with Hong Kong, not,
you know, China going back on its promises.00:13:46
I don’t think China’s ever seen an
agreement it didn’t intend to break.
00:13:50
Of course, Taiwan wasn’t happy
with Musk’s “solution” to the 00:13:54
situation. Taiwan’s foreign minister
hit back that Taiwan wasn’t for sale.00:13:58
And because of Musk’s comments on Taiwan,
Taiwan doesn’t trust him or his Starlink 00:14:03
satellites to provide internet to the
island in the event that China cuts its 00:14:07
internet cables. That’s why it’s now
working with a UK company to provide 00:14:12
internet in case of a blackout. Not that
China wants Starlink, either. In fact, 00:14:16
China’s putting pressure on Musk not to provide
internet to its citizens. Instead, it’s trying 00:14:21
to build its own satellite infrastructure to
counter Musk’s.So Musk doesn’t care about the 00:14:26
money. He says what he wants to say. Except when
it comes to China. Then he becomes really careful.00:14:32
I wonder why.
Now, I’ve got a 00:14:34
video I want to show you about that, but first,
check out this episode’s sponsor, Ground News.00:14:39

And here’s that video I want to show
you. It’s about how you need to take 00:14:54
personal responsibility, and not blame
everyone else for your problems the 00:14:58
way a Communist would. YouTube might
consider that too controversial which 00:15:02
is why I’m hiding that message
in video game content, this time 00:15:06
about the disastrous release of the Day Before.
