Tesla CEO Elon Musk is a businessman who has gained tremendous influence over the U.S. government and who also has substantial financial interests in a potential adversary to the United States: China.

We visit the part of Shanghai housing Musk’s $2 billion Gigafactory, his $200 million Megapack factory, the Tesla worker neighborhood nicknamed the “Tesla Dormitory,” a Tesla store that spans one and a half football fields, one of Musk’s largest supercharging stations, and a track designated by the Chinese government for carmakers to test their self-driving technology which has yet to be approved for the American EV maker.
