    It's curious why right wing news (Fox, etc.) aren't reporting about Musk being in China and being praised by State media, also visiting his Shanghai factory.

    For the same reasons they don't criticize trump or his kids for their business dealings w/ china. 

    It's only bad when it's a lib or democrat.

    Actually the next several months will be very interesting between Fox and Musk.  Fox spent the last year hyping Musk and posting positive stories, but now it looks like he's trying to enter Fox's turf, starting with the DeSantis launch and then of course with the news of a Twitter show for Carlson.  But Fox squashed that by seizing all of Carlson's equipment and publicly reminding him of his contract.  So there may be an actual split afoot.  But if so, they missed this opportunity to hammer Musk about China.

    I guess I just haven't viewed Musk as being a rival to or target for Fox. 

    Seeing what he's done w/ twitter and they way he amplifies a lot of RW talking points, he strikes me as more of an ally of theirs, but you do bring up good points about Desantis & Carlson.

    They are allies until their monetary interests conflict.  And they are getting ready to conflict if Musk is going to try and grow this "Twitter Spaces" thing.  Fox immediately trolled them with their headlines.  Here's a good summary from the Hill

    Anyone with an ounce of critical thinking ability knew this was the case coming out of those hearings.  You'd have to be stupid otherwise.

    Correct. It was pretty apparent from the get go.

    If Fox wins, we all win.  That means no Tucker until after the 2024 election.  So in this case, I think our interests are aligned.
