Elon is always obsessed with WeChat's model. (For those who don't know about WeChat, it is basically the name of the 'Everything app'.)
Everything in one single point is pretty convenient but has led to a bunch of risks...
Leave a risk that you know in the comment.

Well perhaps it is creepy but in China it is massively convenient. Nobody uses cash or credit cards except foreigners. Everyone connects socially through it. Yes the authoritarian government is collecting data, how that is creepier than our distributed techno-authoritarian data collection is an ideological mystification.
Because one of those will put you in jail and have you executed and the other one just tries to sell you stuff
The incarceration rate is 4-5x as high in the US as in china
I'm sure. Easy to keep the incarceration rate low when you just go straight to executing criminals and committing genocide against entire ethnicities. Fuck the US, but especially FUCK ~~NAZI GERMANY~~ CHINA.
Please count the reasons for these incarcerations.
According to Bureau of Prisons the majority of those incarcerated are there due to drug offenses:
