  1. The North-Eastern territory which the mainly Czarist empire took off China, was not Chinese for very long either. Certainly not for thousands of years. That area was consoldated initially under the Machus in the 16th and 17th century CE. The Manchus are not Chinese, and like the Mongols before them (Yuan Empire) ruled China from the horseback, mainly as the Qing dynasty. The people before the Manchus ruled it were the eastern Siberian nomad reindeer herders; it was their land for thousands of years Maybe you should ask them if they want it back.

  2. Musk is not going to be a trillionaire. Consumers are walking away from his less than promised products. Think about what Musk promised and what he's failed to deliver (the hyperloop, tunnel boring for traffic lanes, bases on Mars. And more dangerously, fully autonomous driving). People believe in him because they're stupid; pure and simple. Already he's fallen down the wealth scale last couple of years. Elon Musk is now considerably less rich than Jeff Bezos, and far more contravesial because of his publicity stunts (Bezos at least has the sense to keep out of the limelight).
