Musk makes billions from China. How will that work now?

[EvilCat Breath]

Again, if a trade war breaks out the government of China can pull his permits to sell cars in country. They can use regulations and inspections to slow or stop production.

How do you not get that.

Since China makes a considerable amount of money off of Tesla, they are not anxious to do that. Do you not think at all? If trade war breaks out, it certainly won't involve Tesla made in China, that's not trade. It's domestic. Tesla is a domestic product. Made in China by Chinese workers who pay Chinese taxes.

How do you not get that?

 

[The Duke]

Yup.

Linky sure-?

Tesla batteries are manufactured in Japan, China, and the United States. The vast majority of the batteries are sourced from Japan and China. The Chinese company CATL is the world’s largest EV battery supplier and supplies Tesla with the batteries used to make Tesla cars in the Shanghai factory.

Also ask yourself where rare earth and most lithium is sourced for batteries.

How are you not understanding what you are saying? A Chinese battery company sells batteries to Tesla to make their cars in China. They are NOT imports.

Many of the parts the cars need come from the U.S. Tariffs will raise those costs so he will sell his cars in China at higher prices, meaning less profits

I doubt Musk needs much if anything from the USA for his China industries:

Tesla Expands In China, Partners With Over 400 Local Suppliers: Report - Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)

Tesla strengthens its China presence with over 400 local suppliers, while CEO Musk criticizes California's exclusion of Tesla from new EV rebates.

I hope only for the complete destruction of democrats and the complete destruction of the democratic party. I expect that there will be a degree of stress but ANY price is not too much to pay to rid the nation of democrats.

Putin is better than democrats, whatever he decides to do is an acceptable action.l

In other words, 248 years of Democracy and the Constitution are not important to you.
Putin ruling ways are better.

Good to know, you certainly have become a traitor to the Constitution and an enemy to Democracy.

How come you have not moved to Russia and do this for Trump (while you enjoy life and get paid for it)?

Thanks for the head's up on who you are. It is important knowledge

AI Overview

Tesla vehicles manufactured in China include parts from a number of suppliers, including American companies:

• Emerson Electric: A major supplier to Tesla
• Garmin: A major supplier to Tesla
• Danaher Corporation: A major supplier to Tesla
• Nucor Corp: A major supplier to Tesla

In addition, Tariffs on China would make Tesla's costlier in the U.S. as the batteries are made in China. Those would increase in price and would mean Musk would not make as much in profits here.

Elon Musk has a relatively long and very profitable history doing business with China. And he’s likely to want to keep it that way.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk's Relationship Could Break Over China​

What an interesting situation. What Trump and Rubio want to do is punish China and Trump has stated he could raise tariffs on Chine as much as 60%,

Musk makes Billions in China and those tariffs would cost HIM big time.

Who or what (money or pride) will win?

If Trump does things to China, China will probably attack Tesla....

Democrats are an enemy to all things American. The collective democrat goals are to destroy the country. They are a collective poison.

Well, democrats are communists, the historical enemy of Germans.

You are a biased blind-by-choice hater.

Not worth communicating with.

His best-known company, the electric vehicle maker Tesla, makes half its cars in China. Tesla sells more cars in China than anywhere except the United States, and his local competition is getting stronger.

And did you know, Musk allows anyone to use Tesla's patents, and Space X doesn't have patents.

Musk will make enough off the NASA contracts, that he won't even notice the increase in China tariffs.

How much has Elon made off of NASA so far?

Elon Musk's SpaceX has multiple contracts with NASA, including:
Deorbiting the International Space Station (ISS)
In June 2024, NASA awarded SpaceX an $843 million contract to build the "U.S. Deorbit Vehicle". The vehicle will guide the ISS into Earth's atmosphere and burn up after the station's retirement in 2030
Astronaut launches to the ISS
In 2022, NASA awarded SpaceX a $1.4 billion contract to send more astronauts and cargo to the ISS. This contract extension extends the partnership through 2030 and includes five additional missions.
Moon landing
In 2021, NASA awarded SpaceX a $2.9 billion contract to use its Starship rocket to transport astronauts from lunar orbit to the moon's surface

Artemis IV mission
In 2022, NASA awarded SpaceX a contract modification to develop its Starship human landing system. This contract modification is worth about $1.15 billion.

The US is paying for a service. It's not like giving 800 million to Ukraine and having nothing to show for it.

That's not a justification for spending hundreds of billions on something as retarded as space travel. We the people don't get anything out of space travel.
