Musk demands Tesla executives to separate Chinese and American operations to address geopolitical risks

U.S. Media: According to The Wall Street Journal, in recent years Musk has instructed Tesla executives to separate U.S. and China operations as if cut by a laser, ensuring the U.S. business can survive independently in the event of geopolitical conflicts;

Now, some executives have been tasked with preparing for a potential merger with SpaceX, while advisory teams are exploring options such as spinning off, selling, or shutting down the China operations.

China, Tesla's second-largest market, has helped the company achieve sustained profitability and become the global leader in electric vehicles; any move to divest its Chinese operations would have profound implications for Tesla and could also alter its valuation in the context of a potential merger with SpaceX.
