At China's most recent Congress they refer to Australia as a Special Administrative Zone. Musk is a mouth piece for China because they create his sustainable revenue and production numbers that allows him to fuel his government created empire of sci-fi fantasies.

Can you show me the exact link where the reference can be found?

It would be good to backup your claim with the exact location of their statement regarding Australia. I could not find it in the link your provided.

You mean, back up my claim by providing you with a link that no longer exists given a government that necessarily creates a shifting sands of information for its citizens and curates its external information? How about a screen shot? That won't work either, huh? Guess we know why they change it now.

If I could post my screenshots to here I would, but I can't.

Now that the vatnik thing looks threadbare.

That's probably the plan.

But that misses the point that Taiwan will never accept this: those who want 'independence' are obviously against reunification, the others won't accept to 'surrender' to the communists.

In case of military takeover I suspect there would still be a "special administrative zone" but obviously how "lenient" that might be would depend on the situation on the ground...

Musk is an embodiment of why I am not on Twitter.

Its full of big mouths impulsively blurting out ideas on subjects they aren't experts on (like Taiwan-China relations), often with questionable conflicts of interest.

Not that HN is perfect... I am guilty of rambling on about things I don't really know about. But something about HN's redditesque format makes it so much less severe than Twitter.

Does Musk mean “inevitable” in the same sense as full self-driving, colonies on Mars, or hyperloops?

Just one blunt away from calling a world leader “pedo guy.”

Just concentrate on getting to Mars, Elon. If you can pull your head in and stop f'ing round with what doesn't concern you, we might even like you again.
