The old prestige pyramid—where Ivy League degrees and blue-chip consulting backgrounds paved the way to the CEO seat—is cracking.
March 01, 2023: -A Chinese state-run newspaper warned Tesla CEO Elon Musk following his shared reporting on the Department of Energy’s ‘low confidence’ test that the international Covid pandemic originated in a Wuhan laboratory.
On Tuesday, Eunice Yoon reported on the warning from the social media documents of the Global Times, the English-language subsidiary of the CCP-managed People’s Daily.
The Global Times is warning Musk that he could be “breaking the pot of China” following the Tesla and Twitter chief executive’s response to Tweets that asserted that Covid originated in a Wuhan research laboratory.
The saying resembles the idiom “to bite the hand that feeds you,” Yoon reported. Tesla has an expansive factory campus in Shanghai. China is the E.V. manufacturer’s next most significant market.
The U.S. Department of Energy concluded with “low confidence” that the Covid pandemic started in a Wuhan laboratory. Still, sources familiar with the matter emphasised to NBC News that the conclusion could have been more impactful. The FBI was reaching a similar endpoint at a “moderate confidence” level in 2021.
The governing Communist Party has been highly sensitive to the matter, as it courts outside investment following months of zero-Covid lockdowns prompted nationwide protests, Eunice Yoon reported.
