What’s interesting about Musk is he was clearly very upset about Covid restrictions in the US but never mentioned the much stricter Covid regime in China — because at the end of the day he’s a businessman and will lose money if he ever upsets Xi Jinping.

COVID and then buying Twitter have been such weird, disfiguring events for Musk. I wouldn't be shocked if he went full climate change denier next.

A chorus of pro-authoritarian billionaires is coming together to side with Beijing and Moscow against the cause of liberalism & demicocracy , and doing it in the name of free speech.

Or maybe it’s because he’s an American citizen and not a Chinese citizen, and he and his family live in America and not China. 🤔

Huh? Terrible mindreading. Why would he have mentioned China, or cared much about it?
Replying to @mattyglesias
Maybe because China’s brand is not “freedom”

Also he lives in the US not China. But what you said is prolly right. 🙄

I am paid no money by Xi Jinping, but I don’t give a fuck about the COVID regime in China because I don’t live in China.
