Tech billionaire and Twitter chairman Elon Musk bent the knee to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on a trip to the Far East.
Musk, who recently hitched his wagon to Republican presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis, was amongst a number of Western executives who travelled to China to pay court to the CCP this week.
“The interests of the United States and China are intertwined like conjoined twins,” said Musk, per the Chinese foreign ministry, rejecting proposals that America and the wider West should “decouple” from the hard-left dictatorship.
Musk’s relationship with the CCP – much like his recent hiring of World Economic Forum WEF) executive Linda Yaccarino as Twitter CEO – sits uncomfortably with his stated support for freedom of speech, a concept absolutely not tolerated by Beijing.
The South African’s links to China are strong. Chinese firms helped to fund his 2022 takeover of Twitter – despite its being banned in China – and he hailed the 100-year-anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party on Twitter equivalent Weibo in 2021.
