Tesla on Thursday agreed to promote “core socialist values” with over a dozen Chinese car manufacturers who also vowed to do so, according to The Wall Street Journal.

    Tesla is incompatible with socialism

    What does China have to do with socialism?

    Do you think North Korea is a democracy too because their government’s name is “Democratic Republic of North Korea”?

      In fact most countries with names starting with “Democratic” or “People’s” are not democratic at all…a true democratic country does not need to advertise it in its name.

      Same goes for human titles like “Honorable” for instance.

      China is more socialist than the States, and it advertises itself as such too. They have to stick to that branding because it’s popular.

      “Tesla is incompatible with whatever the Chinese government thinks the Chinese government is.”

        No, because Musk has been saying for years that he envies China because of how they can treat their workers.

        Musk and therefore Tesla aren’t just compatible with China’s leadership styles, Musk would love for them to be exactly the same.
