If Tesla's cars are spied in China or elsewhere, the company will shut down, says Elon Musk

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc, said on Saturday that if his company's cars were used to spy on people, the company would be shut down.  He made his remarks in response to the reports that China's military has barred Teslas from its facilities.

During a virtual debate, Musk told a prominent Chinese forum, "There's a very strong incentive for us to be very discreet with any details." "We would be shut down if Tesla uses cars to spy in China or anywhere else."

These restrictions were revealed during a tense meeting in Alaska between top Chinese and US diplomats, the first face-to-face meeting since US President Joe Biden took office in January.

In remarks to the China Development Forum, a high-level business meeting organized by a foundation under the State Council, Musk urged greater mutual understanding between the world's two largest economies. He was speaking on a panel with Xue Qikun, the president of the Southern University of Science and Technology in China.

Tesla sold 147,445 vehicles in China last year, which is 30% of its global total. China is the world's largest car market and a major battleground for electric vehicles. Musk has made several high-profile appearances in China, where Tesla manufactures and sells electric vehicles. In 2019, he spoke with Alibaba's influential creator Jack Ma about Mars and artificial intelligence.

Musk’s enthusiastic dance on stage, by ripping off his jacket, at the delivery event last year for 3 China-made models of Sedan, had become a social media storm.
