The US wealthy are now international wealthy and borders no longer matter to them.

That used to be the case until last year...

But I don't think it is still true.

Musk can still literally fly to any country he wants without needing a passport or needing to land on a public airstrip. He owns property in multiple countries. It doesn't matter if people the world over hate him, he can just fly in and start fucking shit up wherever he wants.

It's still true.

In capitalist states, where politicians are explicitly beholden to international credit and industry.

State owned businesses are insulated against vulture capitalists like Musk, because they exist to deliver a service rather than turn steadily increasing profit for shareholders.

State run and independent citizen sponsored media are insulated against the influence of marketing firms and corporate propaganda, because the staff does not rely on a tiny cartel of ultra-wealthy private patrons to fund their journalism.

Elon Musk is a very American problem. He's a creature of libertarian capitalism and colonial apartheid.

I mean, China hasn't shut down his Tesla factory or anything. I certainly hope they do.

One of the things that Americans loothe about the Chinese government is the rule that mainland owned and operated firms require a domestic partner, with legal access to the patents and property used in manufacture. This comes with subsidies and state support. But it creates a rich opportunity for those Chinese domestic partners to begin making fully local competitive alternatives.

The Chinese domestic EV market took full advantage of Tesla, siphoned out the best bits, and now allows the bad fruit to rot on the vine.
