CE, did you ever tell me Musk has a Tesla site in Shanghai? The Guadian mentions Shanghai

During the funding bill debates last week, Rosa DeLauro, the Connecticut representative and top Democrat on the House appropriations committee, alleged in a letter to congressional leaders that Musk had worked to cut provisions that would have increased scrutiny of Chinese investments suggesting his opposition was driven by concerns over protecting Teslas Shanghai manufacturing plant.

Do you not remember Elon talking about how better Chinese workers were and how the slept in the factory?

We discussed this on 261. He was telling his engineers that the 40 hours they were working wasn't cutting it, and that they should aspire to be more like the Chinese plant workers who work 16 hours a day, six days a week, sleeping on the plant floor when they're off the clock.

It was discussed on CE ^

OK. I forgot it. It is important now because DoGE will destaff any efforts at regulating Musk.

Well yes DoGE is all about lining his pockets and interests. I don't think anyone disputes that but MAGA cultists.

But how is DoGE going to change anything?

I have thought of a way. If Musk hires MAGA for DoGE and deploys them to investigate, their presence will be enough to stop productivity.

A MAGA would jump at a chance for an unpaid DoGE position because prestige and authority.
