Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, recently made a comment during the All-In Summit that has sparked a response from Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Musk’s comment implied that Taiwan is an integral part of China, which led to Taiwan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Joseph Wu, asserting Taiwan’s sovereignty and independence. In a tweet, Wu reiterated that Taiwan is “not for sale” and emphasized that it is not a part of China.
Since the civil war in 1949, Taiwan has been governing independently from mainland China. Despite Beijing’s constant claims that Taiwan should be reunified with the mainland, Taiwan has maintained its own governance and identity. This is not the first time Musk’s comments on Taiwan have drawn criticism. In October prior to this event, he suggested that tensions between China and Taiwan could be eased if Beijing gained some level of control over Taiwan, a statement that was also received negatively by Taiwan.
