Musk businesses suspected of being indirectly involved in military operations against Taiwan

TL;DR

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A NATO intelligence official has informed Taiwan's media that Elon Musk's vast business interests in China were at least indirectly involved in People's Liberation Army (PLA) military exercises around Taiwan in August.A senior official within NATO was cited on Sunday (Oct. 23) by CNA as saying the alliance is "deeply concerned" about the relationship between Elon Musk and his trusted business partner, Oracle Chairman and Chief Technology Officer Larry Ellison, and the Chinese government.In August, Musk wrote an article for the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission with the title, "Believe in Technology Creates for Better Future."According to the South China Morning Post, Musk is the first foreign author to be published by the commission, which oversees data security for China's tech companies and coordinates with other agencies on censoring online content.However, as China actively develops domestic electric vehicle-related industries and supply chains and expands overseas markets, Tesla faces increasingly fierce competition in China, and as a result, Beijing's ability to exert pressure and operate has also increased."
