Henry IV was a Huguenot when he inherited the throne of France. Paris was the most important centre of his kingdom, and Catholic.

So Henry very publicly went to Mass at the Saint-Denis Basilica allegedly saying ‘Paris is worth a Mass.’

I wouldn’t say Musk is a hypocrite so much as a cynic in this instance. For an equivocal statement re Taiwan, suggesting exactly what the Brits do in Northern Ireland, he gets a tax break.

I think he is also very shortsighted and did not take into account the dismay of millions of free Taiwanese people at the thought of being handed to the bloody repressive incompetent thugs of the Communist Party.
