美國有人戲稱馬斯克為「共同總統」(Co-President),
他的此番「宏論」豈能忘記!

台海戰事怎解?馬斯克:台灣應變為特別行政區

馬斯克日前接受媒體專訪,指出台灣海峽若是發生戰事,將帶來不可挽回的後果,因此他提議將台灣變成特別行政區。馬斯克的提案,台灣民眾埋單嗎?
馬斯克接受《金融時報》專訪,談到台海議題,因為特斯拉在上海的工廠占了總體產能的三到五成,隨著近期美中台三角動作頻頻,若不慎擦槍走火,特斯拉的營運必定會受到影響。
衝突無法避免,因此提議設置特別行政區
馬斯克承認,台灣與中國的衝突無可避免(inevitable),但他仍舊樂觀地認為,屆時特斯拉在上海的工廠仍可以替中國市場的顧客供車。馬斯克說,其他企業同樣會受到打擊,「蘋果將會面臨很大的麻煩,這點是可以確定的。」馬斯克補充,他估計台海爭議將會對全球帶來三成的經濟損失。
對現今的企業家來說,地緣政治和各國的國防戰略已經成為決策時必須考慮的因素。熱愛分享想法的馬斯克,數天前才針對對烏克蘭與俄羅斯持續的戰士提出和平協議,但因為開出的條件對烏克蘭過於嚴苛,遭到烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基(Volodymyr Zelenskyy)抨擊。
對於海峽兩岸日益緊繃的局勢,馬斯克的解決方法是在台灣設置特別行政區,「我的建議是替台灣找出一個合理可行的特別行政區域(special administrative zone)方案,雖然沒辦法讓所有人都開心。此外,我認為(台灣)可以有比香港更寬鬆(lenient)的安排,這是有可能的。」
馬斯克曾提供星鏈(Starlink)給烏克蘭,作為網路服務受戰爭影響的補救措施,也讓軍隊可以維持通訊。馬斯克在此次專訪中提到,北京明確表示,不支持他在烏克蘭推出的星鏈服務,中國當局向他尋求保證,不會在中國銷售星鏈。
特斯拉在中國深耕,生產量已破百萬
這不是馬斯克第一次針對台海局勢提出意見。今年8月談到全球經濟發展時,馬斯克便指出,經濟動盪的大環境中,有一個不可控的因素,就是台灣與中國的關係。若是兩岸擦槍走火,甚至發展成戰事,將衝擊全世界。
馬斯克從來沒有遮掩過自己對於中國的熱愛。
他先前受訪時曾經提過,就他和中國政府打交道的經驗來看,中國官員非常關心人民的意見,「人們會對這些(政策)感到開心嗎?(政策)真的會對人民有益嗎?雖然看似諷刺,但這個一黨專制的體系似乎真的很在乎人民的福祉。事實上,他們可能比美國還更注意公眾的輿論。」
不僅如此,馬斯克今年曾經替中國國家互聯網信息辦公室的刊物撰稿,討論科技能夠帶來的美好未來,這也引發外界抨擊,認為馬斯克素來強調言論自由,卻為中國的網路主管機關寫文章。
馬斯克確實將部分商業重心放在中國。去年(2021)年底特斯拉宣布,將擴增現有的超級工廠,預計投入12億元人民幣,希望能將年產量翻倍。自2018年開工建造工廠、2019年開始生產以來自今,特斯拉上海廠已經累積生產了100萬台的車輛,是特斯拉全球布局中的重點。
對於馬斯克的提案,台灣人民會埋單嗎?

與台灣相關段落:
There are some topics that amuse Musk, eliciting prolonged laughter, and other questions that are met with deliberate silence before he speaks. The longest silence follows my question about China and the risk to Tesla's Shanghai factory, which produces between 30 per cent and 50 per cent of Tesla's total production. Musk has been an admirer of as well as an investor in China. But he is not immune to the gathering US-China tensions or the risk of a Chinese takeover of Taiwan. Musk says Beijing has made clear its disapproval of his recent rollout of Starlink, SpaceX's satellite communications system, in Ukraine to help the military circumvent Russia's cut-off of the internet. He says Beijing sought assurances that he would not sell Starlink in China.
Musk reckons that conflict over Taiwan is inevitable but he is quick to point out that he won't be alone in suffering the consequences. Tesla will be caught up in any conflict, he says, though, curiously, he seems to assume that the Shanghai factory will still be able to supply to customers in China, but not anywhere else. "Apple would be in very deep trouble, that's for sure . . . " he adds, not to mention the global economy, which he estimates, with precision, will take a 30 per cent hit.
It may be Musk's realisation that business decisions can no longer be made without regard to security and geopolitics — or perhaps it's simply an arrogant belief that he has all the answers — that now leads him to offer his own solutions to the world's most complex geopolitical problems. "My recommendation . . . would be to figure out a special administrative zone for Taiwan that is reasonably palatable, probably won't make everyone happy. And it's possible, and I think probably, in fact, that they could have an arrangement that's more lenient than Hong Kong." I doubt his proposal will be taken up.
