Elon Musk skipped his preferred platform of Twitter for this latest round of corporate diplomacy,phim b? ng??i l?n so you know he's serious.
Musk spoke up over the weekend after a Friday report from the Wall Street Journalrevealed that China would bar "military staff and employees of key state-owned companies" from using Tesla vehicles. There's concern that they present a national security risk, since Tesla is an American company and its vehicles collect data.
(You might remember the former Trump administration using similar justification when the ex-president threatened to ban TikTok in the U.S. — a legally questionable mandate, it should be said — if the China-based ByteDance refused to sell the social media platform to an American buyer.)
Speaking on Saturday at the Chinese Development Forum, an annual event hosted by the Chinese government that connects the country with global business leaders, Musk attempted to make it clear that sharing data with government entities of any stripe would undermine Tesla's business interests.
"Whether it’s Chinese or U.S., the negative effects if a commercial company did engage in spying — the negative effects for that company would be extremely bad," Musk said (h/t WSJ). He added that the risk of Tesla being shut down for spying creates "a very strong incentive for us to be very confidential."
Musk also played down worries about commercial espionage in general, pointing specifically to the TikTok case as an example.
"Even if there was spying, what would the other country learn and would it actually matter? If it doesn’t matter, it’s not worth thinking about that much," he said, adding that TikTok is primarily a place where people are "just doing silly dances."

While there are bipartisan concerns in the U.S. related to China's authoritarian rule, some viewed Trump's decision to move against TikTok as personally motivated. Just weeks before announcing the ban, a segment of TikTok users seemingly banded together to inflate the expected turnout for a then-upcoming Trump rally in Tulsa, Okla.
Similarly, it's possible that China's stance toward Tesla is more about indirect retribution than any legitimate fear of the company engaging in espionage. The recent first face-to-face meeting between Chinese officials and the new Biden administration was dogged by reports of tense and perhaps not always friendly discussions between the two nations.
Whatever the truth may be, Musk wants the powers-that-be to rest assured that Tesla isn't in the business of espionage.
