Although the BYDs and GWMs and MGs are getting popular in Australia, I have literally never seen a Chinese EV in the States outside of locally built BYD busses, and BYD cars have distinct designs that are fairly easy to spot. So this feels like posturing to me.
Which goes to show that if you are a public figure whether in politics, entertainment, or otherwise, owning your own server for social media instead of relying on Zuck and Musk should be a critical concern at this point.
There is no reason for the Harris campaign to not dip their toe into federated social media at this point given Musk’s antagonism towards them.
