Regarding Tesla, I'm more worried about him having his factories/R&D in China.
To prevent the ol use-union-strikes-to-sabotage-and-bust-up-companies-we-dont-like trick.
I agree, but still a risky decision, knowing how industrial spying and IP theft is something so common there. We're talking about billion of dollars at stake.

China has a population of 1.5 billion people. Having your IP 'borrowed', is an expected part of the cost of a 'business license' to sell anything in china.
If I were in business in china (and I didn't have a soul) and they demanded my IP, I'd be thrilled. Because it could only mean they've approved me as a business partner acceptable to the wider market.
Which is 1.5 billion people.
In Tesla's case, it's not 1.5 billion potential customers. Only a few can afford a Tesla.
Then when your competitors have access to your research and are using it to compete with you, you'll have to share the market with them, which means way less sells for you. Game Over.
