“If Tesla used cars to spy in China or anywhere else, they would be shut down,” Musk said.
He added that spying on the account of a foreign government would have “very negative consequences” for the company.
It is worth noting that Musk’s comments came in response to reports that the Chinese military has banned the use of Tesla cars in its facilities, and the military has expressed concern about the data that the cameras installed on the car can collect.
China is Tesla’s largest market after the United States, accounting for about a quarter of the company’s global sales in 2020.
