Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is questioning whether Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter will create challenges for Tesla in China.

Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos posed a provocative question after Elon Musk clinched a $44 billion takeover of Twitter Inc.: whether that will make things difficult for Tesla Inc. in China.

About half the company’s cars sold globally last year were produced at its plant in Shanghai, and Musk has said that figure may double.Bezos, who also owns the Washington Post.“The more likely outcome in this regard is complexity in China for Tesla, rather than censorship at Twitter.” Musk championed free speech on the platform in one of his first tweets after sealing the take-private deal.

Tesla has boomed in China thanks in part to tax breaks, cheap loans and the green light to wholly own its domestic operations.
