China Crackdown: CCP Warns Elon Musk About Sharing COVID Lab Leak Report
The Chinese Communist Party is unhappy about the new United States Energy Department report that the COVID Pandemic “most likely” originated from a lab leak in Wuhan.
According to reports by CNBC:
A Chinese state-run newspaper issued a warning to Tesla CEO Elon Musk after he shared reporting on the U.S. Department of Energy’s “low confidence” assessment that the global Covid pandemic originated in a Wuhan laboratory.
CNBC’s Eunice Yoon reported Tuesday morning on the warning from the social media pages of the Global Times, the English-language subsidiary of the CCP-controlled People’s Daily. The Global Times warned Musk that he could be “breaking the pot of China” after the Tesla and Twitter CEO responded to tweets that asserted that the Covid pandemic originated in a Wuhan research laboratory.
Musk is yet to comment on the claim.
Many were quick to share the report that was released by the Energy Department, following in the footsteps of an earlier conclusion by the FBI who also investigated the pandemic’s origins.
