<p>Twitter owner <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> warned during an interview this week that U.S. policymakers should take China&#8217;s threats of taking over Taiwan &#8220;seriously&#8221; because the communist nation is not kidding around when it comes to its intent to do so.</p>
<p>Musk made the remarks during an interview with CNBC&#8217;s David Faber when asked if he was concerned about &#8220;the growing belligerence between China and the U.S.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think that should be a concern for everyone,&#8221; Musk responded.</p>
<p>When asked if he thinks China is going to make a move to take control of Taiwan, Musk responded, &#8220;The official policy of China is that Taiwan should be integrated. One does not need to read between the lines, one can certainly read the lines.&#8221;</p>
<p>Musk said that the move would not be good for &#8220;any company in the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Also no one really realizes that the Chinese economy and the rest of the global economy are like conjoined twins, it would be like trying to separate conjoined twins,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That’s the severity of the situation. It’s actually worse for a lot of other companies than it is for Tesla. I mean, I’m not sure where you’re gonna get an iPhone, for example. And Apple’s recently started doing some sort of small amount of production in India, but it’s tiny.”</p>
<p>When Faber mentioned that it seemed like it was Musk&#8217;s belief that China trying to gain control of Taiwan was &#8220;likely to happen,&#8221; Musk responded, &#8220;I’m simply saying that that is their policy. And I think you should take their word seriously. They mean it.&#8221;</p>
