They might be willing to make concessions to get him to leave the country. Ideally for us he stays there indefinitely. Nobody wants him around any more.
I have a feeling this might be like the Hertz deal. A quick deal by Musk to save the stock price, but that is going to wreck Baidu in the long term.
Edit - never mind, I actually read the article. So Tesla is licensing map data from Baidu? I wonder what caused that.
The Modi snub seems significant. It will be interesting to see how that works out. I wonder if that was an intentional power move by China.
