Elon Musk’s proximity to Trump could work against him in Tesla’s number-two market

  • Elon Musk is being pursued for his closeness to US President Donald Trump while trying to launch Tesla's full self-driving technology in China, which is its second-biggest market.
  • Chinese officials might withhold approval of Tesla's full self-driving license as leverage in trade talks with Trump, according to the Financial Times.
  • Wang Yiwei, director of the Institute of International Relations, stated that Musk's close ties with China allow him to bridge communication between the US and Chinese officials, particularly useful for Trump.
  • Musk mentioned an issue during a January earnings call, saying Tesla is in a 'quandary' because China won't let it transfer training videos, and the US won't allow training in China.
