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.

Lol okay let me try again

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

Do you feel better now?

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.
