Musk's demand for Taiwan relocation sparks political uproar

Elon Musk's company, SpaceX, has asked its suppliers in Taiwan to move their operations to another country. One of the world's richest people is reportedly concerned about the geopolitical situation surrounding the island. Chinese leader Xi Jinping wishes to "unify" Taiwan with China.

According to Reuters, SpaceX has asked some Taiwanese companies to relocate their headquarters to Vietnam or Thailand. The British Guardian notes that 46 entities operate in Taiwan, producing components and equipment for the satellite industry, about 10 directly supplying SpaceX.

Chin-Poon Industrial, which collaborates with Musk's space enterprise, confirmed that SpaceX contacted them. Two other entities—Wistron NeWeb Corporation (WNC) and Universal Microwave Technology—have already expanded their operations to Vietnam.

The Guardian reports that in 2022, Elon Musk mentioned in an interview with the Financial Times that a conflict over Taiwan is "inevitable." Also, two years ago, Musk stated that Taiwan is an integral part of China. These remarks carry even more weight after Donald Trump's victory, as the billionaire is expected to play a role in the new White House administration. Trump himself said during election night that Musk is a "star" of the MAGA—Make America Great Again—movement.
