Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter and Tesla, seems to be tripping over a problem due to his tweet. This time the victim was Tesla's big plan in China.
A daily newspaper called the Global Times operated by the Chinese government insinuated the Musk related to its tweet related to the origin of the Covid-19 who was strongly suspected of originating from a laboratory in Wuhan. Musk's tweet was said to be unknown because it was considered to attack those who had helped him.
Reported by CNBC, Wednesday (1/3/2023), currently Tesla has a very large factory in Shanghai, China, and the bamboo curtain country is also the second largest market for Tesla. Plus China is the main source for a number of important raw materials for electric cars.
Previously, the planned expansion of the Tesla factory in Shanghai was already hampered because of concerns from the Chinese government about Starlink. Plus the problem of the latest Musk chirping, it is not impossible that the delay of expansion will be increasingly longer.
So, Musk chirped what about the origin of Covid-19? He apparently distributed chirping related to the secret report of the US Energy Ministry that said that Pandemi Covid-19 was likely to come from a virus that leaked from the laboratory in Wuhan. This tweet called the Global Times is used by Musk to accuse China.

The Chinese government has been very sensitive to the issue of the origin of Covid-19. The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said that the US government had to stop vilifying China and politicizing the process of searching the origin of the virus.
Previously reported, the US government asked the Chinese government to be honest about the origin of Pandemi Covid-19. According to the US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns, China must play a more active role with the World Health Organization (WHO), which was previously said to have stopped investigating the origin of the virus.
