Amazon's founder draws attention to the country's ties to the CEO of Tesla, which produced half of the cars it sold globally last year precisely at its headquarters in Shanghai.

Jeff Bezos used his Twitter account to question the importance that China may gain from Elon Musk's purchase of the social network, which on Sunday reached an agreement to acquire Twitter for 41 billion euros.

Through several tweets, the founder of Amazon, quoted by the newspaper Económico, drew attention to the country's connections with the CEO of Tesla, which produced half of the cars it sold globally last year precisely at its headquarters in Shanghai, the first opened outside the United States.

Tesla's growth in China has gained greater expression due to tax breaks and cheap loans. However, in 2021, the company was criticized by the local press and regulators questioned the electric vehicle manufacturer's approach to its customers.

Contacted by the "Bloomberg" news agency, Elon Musk's representatives refused to comment on Jeff Bezos' statements.
