New Delhi:
One thing that is clearly visible like a stone streak is the influence of Bilinier Alan Musk in the new government of Donald Trump in America. The richest person in the world is not only with the President of the world’s most powerful country, but also very close to him. He is involved in a cabinet meeting without an official post, he has been made the head of the DOGE made to stop government extravagance. Alan Musk is sending email to government employees of America and seeking accounts of work. He has become the closest ally of Trump in such a way that he is seen more political influences than the Vice President.

In such a situation, there is also a front on which everyone wants to see how Alan Musk can affect Trump, that is China. The leaders of the US Parliament selection committee have even warned China that China can try to achieve favorable American policies through Elon Musk. These leaders say that America should compete with any such effort.

Is this fear valid? Will Allen Musk really affect Trump’s Beijing Policy to serve his interests related to China? To understand this, we must first understand how Alan Musk’s interests are connected in China.

Alan Musk, Tesla and China…. Connected link

Alan Musk has been important commercial interests in China for many years. Alan Musk’s electric car company, Tesla’s factory is in Shanghai. This factory is playing an important role in the company’s global operation, more than many factories located in the US.

Since the inauguration in 2019, Tesla’s Shanghai plant has overtaken Tesla’s Framont, California plant in both its size and productivity. Now more than half of the total global delivery of the company is from this plant. This plant is responsible for most of Tesla’s profits.

Tesla is dependent on Chinese companies for about 40 percent of its battery supply chain. These partnerships are moving forward. According to a report published in ‘The Conversation’, Tesla was the first foreign company to make the first car that was allowed to set up a factory in China without a local partner.

Tesla also received a $ 1.4 billion loan from Chinese public sector banks to set up a factory in Shanghai. Between 2019 and 2023, the Chinese government from Tesla charged only 15% corporate tax while the standard tax rate is 25%. It is a profitable deal for Tesla to set up plants in China. From the production cost to the wage rate here, everything is cheaper.

On 11 February 2025, the company opened its second factory in Shanghai. This plant is worth $ 200 million. It is ready to produce a 10,000 megapack battery annually. This is Tesla’s first Magapack Battery Factory outside the US.

Overall, Tesla has a complete connection to China and Alan Musk has Tesla. Musk’s property is largely linked to Tesla’s stock. Because of this, their financial condition is becoming dependent on the fate of the company in China. If the US in any way distances from China and imposes economic restrictions for it, then both economic and strategic challenge for Musk will increase.

Alan Musk has been speaking China’s tongue

Alan Musk’s praise is not hidden for China. In several posts on social media platform X, Musk has been praising China. Musk, who describes American workers as lazy, praises Chinese workers. Asks his followers to visit China. Musk has also opposed America’s efforts to separate from China. He has described the economies of both countries as ‘twins’.

The special thing is that on the issue of Taiwan, Musk is seen speaking the language of China, while this issue is one of the biggest issues of dispute between America and China.

In an interview, Musk compared Taiwan to Hawaii. It is argued that Taiwan is an integral part of China. The US has forced China to join Taiwan. Musk was also praised by the then Chinese ambassador in America.

Will China’s friends prove to be Musk?

China is well aware of how Musk’s business interests are connected to China. And China can take advantage of this. Given the close relationship with Musk with Trump, China would like to put pressure on Musk Trump to give concessions on issues of major strategic importance. Musk’s space rocket-satellite manufacturer in China is Space X Bain. Musk also has a ban in China on social media platform X. China can lure them to remove this ban or also make pressure to ban Tesla. That is, he has all the options.

In the presidential election, Trump was given the most money as a donation by Musk. That money trump can also bear a burden on the shoulder. Now it will be seen how Alan Musk uses his influence on Trump. Especially when there is an influence of China on Alan Musk itself.
