I was writing from a US-aligned perspective. If you view the US as a hostile power, then yes the same - to some degree - applies to Tesla. Although I think they're not as good at covering their tracks for something like that.


I don’t view the US as a hostile power I view them as our closest ally.

On the other hand Musk is part of the US government now and he is out to fuck us up.

So what do we do? We live in interesting times unfortunately. We’ll just have to see what happens.

Times change. Your allies of today are your foes in a decade. You don't know.

Still, there's billions and billions of spying devices and US-controlled electronics.

And I'm not making this up, we know for a fact NSA has put backdoors and hacks in both commercial routers and chips that are used everywhere in the world.

Yet you americans think it's fine if you do it, and it's also fine to speculate about other countries maybe doing it, and going into these crazy scenarios where Chinese EVs start ramming people.

Give me a break.

Such comments do nothing but remind me that US exceptionalism, the idea that the US can play by a different playbook is a huge danger and menace to world peace. It will keep pissing off allies and non-allies alike.
