For East Asia, Musk should have opened a factory in Japan or South Korea, or the Philippines.

@theultimatereductionist7592 Musk's Tesla China supports Chinese jobs, Chinese transport, Chinese processed materials (metals, plastics), Chinese battery industries, and CCP state-owned rare earth mining companies i.e. Musk's Tesla China-supported Chinese logistics chain. Chinese government officials made sure CATL’s business stayed in Chinese hands. CCP created a captive market of battery customers. And when CATL needed money, CCP doled it out. Musk has complained about PRC's higher import tariffs and it worked i.e. Tesla sets up a factory in China.

@carlosfernando6866 For Five Eyes' national security issues, don't trust Elon Musk. UK government should continue with One Web.

@shoujofanatic Elon Musk's business direction has expanded factories with large geopolitical clout e.g. USA (USMCA), Germany (EU), and China. Gigafactory may specifically refer to the following Tesla factories: Gigafactory 1 (officially named Giga Nevada) in Storey County, Nevada, U.S (USMCA member). Gigafactory 2 (officially named Giga New York), in Buffalo, New York, U.S (USMCA member). Gigafactory 3 (officially named Giga Shanghai), in Pudong, Shanghai, China Gigafactory 4 (officially named Giga Berlin), in Grünheide, state of Brandenburg (near Berlin), Germany (EU member) Gigafactory 5 (officially named Giga Texas), in Austin, Texas, U.S (USMCA member). Gigafactory 6 (officially named Giga Mexico), in Santa Catarina (near Monterrey), Nuevo Leon, Mexico (USMCA member). Tesla has other factories that are lesser than the Gigafactory category e.g. Tesla Fremont Factory, Fremont, California, USA Tesla European Distribution Centre (European parts and services headquarters) in Tilburg, Netherlands, EU. Megafactory, Lathrop, California, USA.
