Musk: Take China’s Comments About Capturing Taiwan ‘Seriously,’ They’re Not Kidding Around | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Twitter owner Elon Musk warned during an interview this week that U.S. policymakers should take China's threats of taking over Taiwan "seriously" because the communist nation is not kidding around when it comes to its intent to do so.

    Musk made the remarks during an interview with CNBC's David Faber when asked if he was concerned about "the growing belligerence between China and the U.S."

    "I think that should be a concern for everyone," Musk responded.

    When asked if he thinks China is going to make a move to take control of Taiwan, Musk responded, "The official policy of China is that Taiwan should be integrated. One does not need to read between the lines, one can certainly read the lines."

    Musk said that the move would not be good for "any company in the world."

    "Also no one really realizes that the Chinese economy and the rest of the global economy are like conjoined twins, it would be like trying to separate conjoined twins," he said. "That's the severity of the situation. It's actually worse for a lot of other companies than it is for Tesla. I mean, I'm not sure where you're gonna get an iPhone, for example. And Apple's recently started doing some sort of small amount of production in India, but it's tiny."

    When Faber mentioned that it seemed like it was Musk's belief that China trying to gain control of Taiwan was "likely to happen," Musk responded, "I'm simply saying that that is their policy. And I think you should take their word seriously. They mean it."

Among the many other lackluster performance standards by the Biden Administration - the most recent, allowing the Chinese Spy Balloon unfettered access to the skies above this Sovereign Republic - Joe Biden's foreign policy is considered by most true experts to be mediocre to abysmal at best. If one were to give a fair assessment of the quality of this apex duty of this Executive Branch: What would be your opinion of the Biden Administration's Foreign Policy initiatives and, or obvious faux pas?

  President Biden is a Foreign Policy expert of consummate skill just like his brother, Jim, and his son, Hunter.

  America's First Idiot President is corruptly committed to making the World far less safe, while surrendering OUR United States of America's sovereignty whenever, wherever possible.

  Mr. Biden is MY President because I pay close attention to only what rewards me, thus demanding as little sacrifice as is my nature to offer, or shrug.
