Tesla has adopted aggressive legal tactics in China, suing owners and media who reported vehicle malfunctions. The company has won the majority of these cases, contrasting with the lack of similar actions in the U.S. Critics argue that Tesla is leveraging its ties to the Chinese Communist Party to suppress negative reports, raise financial rewards, and avoid accountability. This raises questions about free speech when Musk positions himself as an advocate for it, particularly amid political machinations affecting Tesla's operations both in the U.S. and China.
