Netizens Reactions

Hmmm, this is potentially Elon's biggest flaw. Chinese people are great, but their government is something entirely different. The Chinese people's trust and respect for America is growing though, so that's a positive.

This is paradoxical. Doesn't the Chinese government respect the United States when it treats foreign companies well?

Cozying up to an authoritarian regime is never a good look, especially when that regime is engaged in all kinds of human rights abuses.
