Seems to be an electric car problem, not a Tesla problem.

Learn to read your own postings, it says at least Tesla, Volkswagen, Toyota, Lucid and Rivian are relying on both CATL and BYD for these battery packs made with child labor. If you want to have a mature conversation about why you think it's a Tesla specific problem, we can, but right now it's not a good look with the "HAHA pwned!!!" response.
And it should be noted that tesla is actually trying to source local where the others... aren't
"It's an electric car problem, not a Tesla problem"
What does Tesla make?
Oh yea, the RNA bioreactor which the mRNA vaccine is a subtype of.
Oh, thats right! I'm the dumbass.
Currently Tesla has 3 battery manufactures besides itself, Panasonic, LG, and CATL, with the BYD deal never officially confirmed. Currently, LG and CATL are both the suppliers for made in China Tesla models, and Panasonic and Tesla itself are the main suppliers for American made models. At present, CATL's contributions to Tesla's batteries is limited to cobalt-free Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, with the extended range Lithium Ion batteries being sourced from LG instead. In addition, we have Tesla's Q1 report from this year. From this, we can glean on page 8 under Battery, Powertrain & Manufacturing that half their currently used batteries are lithium iron phosphate, with predominately the extended range batteries using Li-Ion battery tech. Clearly, if we are to lambast Chinese companies for using child labor in mining cobalt, Tesla has already gotten ahead of the curve and has eliminated cobalt from leaking in via 3rd party Chinese sources.
And, if you want to assume every part is tainted with Chinese child-mined cobalt, do you know who else makes EVs with batteries sourced from CATL? Honda, Hyundai, BMW, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo, GM, Ford, and Mercedes-Benz. Essentially every single major automobile manufacturer uses battery components sourced from CATL.
Finally, you're falling into the liberal trapping of conflating the use of a tool for bad things with the tool itself being bad. Just because someone uses a gun to murder an innocent doesn't mean that all guns are bad, just like because someone used mRNA to further a depopulation agenda means that all mRNA will be bad. It'd be one thing if Musk was able to skip nearly every clinical trial, and was using the threat of government force to force you to take the mRNA against your will, it's another if he's making an mRNA rabies vaccine that you likely wouldn't ever have to take under normal circumstances, and would still likely have the option for the "normal" one decades after the fact.
NCSWIC. Go argue somewhere else nobody wants to hear your petty squabbles with each other.
