Fraying U.S.-China relations and rising tensions over Taiwan have influential business leaders such as Elon Musk and Warren Buffett sounding alarms about a possible invasion a matter that will likely loom over the 2024 election.

China is already bound to be a major issue in the U.S. campaign as President Xi Jinping pushes to expand his nation's power. China's policy regarding Taiwan, the world's leader in the semiconductor industry, could end up making it an even bigger focus.

The cross-strait strife has already provoked commentary from some top contenders in the Republican presidential primary race who have stressed the need to deter a possible Chinese invasion invasion of the island. Taiwan is also a topic of discussion during this week's Group of Seven meeting in Japan, which President Joe Biden is attending.

Xi has made Taiwan "reunification" a focal point of his agenda and Beijing has ramped up hostilities against the island, putting a spotlight on its importance to the global economy and conjuring fears of a major international conflict that could eclipse Russia's devastating war in Ukraine.

"The official policy of China is that Taiwan should be integrated. One does not need to read between the lines, one can simply read the lines," Tesla CEO Musk said in an interview Tuesday with CNBC's David Faber.

"So I think there's a certain there's some inevitability to the situation," Musk said, adding that it would be bad for "any company in the world."

Tesla just last month announced plans to open a new factory in Shanghai that will build "Megapack" batteries.

Musk's remarks came one day after Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway revealed in a filing that it has completely abandoned its recently acquired stake in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., once worth more than $4 billion. The world's largest chipmaker, based in Hsinchu, Taiwan, produces the majority of the advanced semiconductors used by top tech companies like Apple, Amazon, Google, Qualcomm and more.

Buffett said in recent weeks that the geopolitical strife over Taiwan was "certainly a consideration" in his decision to offload the shares over the last two fiscal quarters. And in an analyst call earlier this month, Buffett said that while the company was "marvelous," he had "reevaluated" his position "in the light of certain things that were going on."

"I feel better about the capital that we've got deployed in Japan than Taiwan. And I wish it weren't so, but I think that's a reality," he said.

Meanwhile, Ray Dalio, founder of hedge fund titan Bridgewater Associates, in late April wrote a lengthy post on LinkedIn warning that the U.S. and China were on the "brink of war" though he specified that that could mean a war of sanctions rather than military might.

The apparent worries from the three members of Forbes' list of the world's richest people come "a little late to the party," Longview Global senior policy analyst Dewardric McNeal said in an interview with CNBC.

"It's frustrating to me," McNeal said. "We've been talking about this for years, and we've also been trying to warn against being overly dependent on China as your source for selling products [and] manufacturing products."

He also noted that Berkshire Hathaway still holds stock in BYD, an electric car maker based in Shenzhen, China. "Quite frankly, it is advantageous for China to scare investors away from Taiwan and damage or taint that economy, because that is one of the scenarios [in which]that they could bring Taiwan to heel without an armed intervention," McNeal said.

Buffett's company has sold more than half the stake in BYD it held as of last year.

"I don't think an attack is imminent, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be using this time to plan," McNeal said. "And what I often see is businesses sort of talking beyond the point, hoping hope is not a strategy that this won't happen."

U.S. intelligence officials have said Xi is pushing China's military to be ready to seize Taiwan by 2027. China is "likely preparing for a contingency to unify Taiwan with the [People's Republic of China] by force," the Pentagon said in 2021.

China asserts Taiwan, a self-governing democracy, is part of its territory. It has pushed to absorb the island under the banner of "one country, two systems," a status rejected by Taiwan's government in Taipei.

Beijing in recent years has steadily ramped up its pressure over Taiwan on economic and military fronts. It flexed its might as recently as last month by conducting large combat drills near Taiwan, while vowing to crack down on any hints of Taiwanese independence.

China has not ruled out using force to take control of Taiwan.

Taiwan's recent interactions with the U.S. have provoked aggressive reactions from China. After then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., visited Taipei last summer, China launched missiles over Taiwan and cut off some diplomatic channels with the U.S.

A meeting in California last month between Taiwan's president, Tsai Ing-wen, and current House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., prompted more threats and fury from Beijing.

Even in a political climate where both major U.S. parties have been critical of China and wary of its encroaching global influence, leaders have tread carefully around the volatile subject of Taiwan. The U.S. has officially recognized a "One China" policy that Taiwan is a part of the mainland for more than four decades, and China has vowed to sever diplomatic ties with countries that seek official diplomacy with Taiwan.

While Pelosi spoke of America's interest in preserving Taiwan's democracy on her trip to Taipei, she stressed in a Washington Post op-ed at the time that her visit "in no way contradicts the long-standing one-China policy."

Biden was seen to break with America's longstanding stance on Taiwan when he said last year that U.S. forces would defend the island if it was attacked by China. The White House, however, maintains the U.S. policy on Taiwan is unchanged.

Dalio predicted that the brinksmanship between the two superpowers will grow more aggressive over the next 18 months, in part because the 2024 U.S. election cycle could usher in a swell of anti-Chinese rhetoric.

There's little doubt that China will a major topic on the campaign trail. At least three Republicans who are seen as potential presidential candidates Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton have recently embarked on trips to Asia, including Taiwan, to meet with allied leaders.

Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers at every level have produced an array of legislation seeking to reverse China's growing influence, some of which has drawn accusations of fearmongering. And some of the potential presidential contenders have already weighed in with calls to meet Chinese aggression with strength.

"Xi clearly wants to take Taiwan at some point," DeSantis said in an interview with Nikkei while in Japan. "He's got a certain time horizon. He could be emboldened to maybe shorten that horizon. But I think ultimately what I think China respects is strength," DeSantis said.

DeSantis had drawn criticism for a previous foray into geopolitics when he described Russia's war in Ukraine as a "territorial dispute." His views on U.S. policy toward Taiwan, in contrast, were more vague.

"I think our policy should really be to shape the environment in such a way that really deters them from doing that," DeSantis said of a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan. "I think if they think the costs are going to outweigh whatever benefits, then I do think that they would hold off. That should be our goal."

DeSantis, who is gearing up to formally announce his presidential campaign next week, is seen as former President Donald Trump's top rival for the Republican nomination.

Trump said last year that he expected China to invade Taiwan because Beijing is "seeing that our leaders are incompetent," referring to the Biden administration.

Former Vice President Mike Pence, who says he will make his own decision about running for president by next month, said in April that the U.S. should increase sales of military hardware to Taiwan, "so that the Chinese will have to count the cost before they make any move against that nation."

In an interview Wednesday on CNBC's "Squawk Box," Pence cited the cross-strait tensions as an argument against cutting U.S. military spending.

"At a time when China is literally floating a new battleship every month and continuing military provocations across the Asia-Pacific and Russia's waging an unprovoked war in Eastern Europe, the last thing we ought to be doing is cutting defense spending," he said.

Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, who launched her presidential campaign in February, said in a statement to CNBC, "American resolve matters to China."

"They are watching what we do in Ukraine.If we abandon our friends in Ukraine, as some want us to do, it will only encourage China to attack our friends in Taiwan," Haley said.

But the political will to defend Taiwan in a Chinese invasion may clash with economic forces.

"Almost no one realizes that the Chinese economy and the rest of the global economy are like conjoined twins. It would be like trying to separate conjoined twins," Musk told CNBC on Tuesday. "That's the severity of the situation. And it's actually worse for a lot of other companies than it is for Tesla. I mean, I'm not sure where you're going to get an iPhone, for example."

Some CEOs of America's biggest banks have said they would pull their business from China if directed to do so following an invasion of Taiwan. But Musk's characterization of the entangled global economy is no exaggeration and much of the focus has fallen on TSMC.

"If Taiwan were taken out, we would be like severing our brain, because the world economy will not work without [TSMC] and the chips that come out of Taiwan today," John Rutledge, chief investment strategist of Safanad, said Wednesday on CNBC's "Power Lunch" in response to Musk's comments.

David Sacks, a research fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, said on CNBC that Apple is in a "very tough position" because the most advanced chips it needs are made in a single building on TSMC's campus in Taiwan.

The company's technological edge in the production of semiconductors, which are used in all manner of products from cars to washing machines, has led to it being a potential "single point of failure" for many companies, McNeal said.

But he also noted that the global reliance on TSMC including by China, which reportedly depends on the company to provide about 70% of the chips needed to fuel its electronics industry could act as a sort of bulwark against an invasion.

A paper from the Stimson Center on Taiwan's "Silicon Shield" put a fine point on the issue: "Without a doubt, the first Chinese bomb or rocket that should fall on the island would make the supply chain impact of the COVID pandemic seem like a mere hiccup in comparison."

Read more of CNBC's politics coverage:

There are nevertheless efforts underway to diversify the industry geographically, including through a $40 billion investment to expand TSMC chip production in Arizona.

McNeal said the issue should not solely be centered around TSMC and possible supply chain woes.

"For our Taiwan friends, that message says you don't give a damn about them, their lives, their safety. You're only in this for what it means for your bottom line," he said. "For me personally, that's not a message that I want to send."

Actor Mandy Patinkin is famous for playing swordsman Inigo Montoya in the 1987 classicThe Princess Bride.

On Wednesday, he proved he also has a rapier wit, which he aimed towardElon Musk on Twitter.

Patinkins jab at Musk happened in reference to an interview the eccentric billionaire gave to CNBCwhere he used one of Montoyas famous lines to justify makingcontroversial and sometimes false comments on Twitter even if it scares away advertisers.

You know, Im reminded of. Theres a scene in The Princess Bride great movie where he confronts the person who killed his father and he says, Offer me money, offer me power, I dont care, Musk told his interviewer, David Faber.

So you just dont care? Faber asked.

Ill say what I want to say and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it, Musk responded.

Patinkin apparently thought Musk was missing the point, so on Wednesday, he responded to a tweet about the CNBC interview with another very famous quote from the same film:

I do not think it means what you think it means.

Patinkins tweet received, like The Princess Bride itself, rave reviews.

Patinkin has made other cutting comments recently.

Last week, he picketed outside Warner Bros. Discoverys offices in New York amid the high-profile strike among TV and film writers, and carried a sign inspired by another one of his famous quotes from the film.

The sign read, You Killed Residuals Prepare To Pay! a reference to his line in the 1987 classic: Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Mandy Patinkin Trolls Elon Musk With The Perfect 'Princess Bride' Quote - HuffPost

Tesla Inc. Chief Executive Elon Musk said late Tuesday he foresees a year of difficulty for the global economy, with lots of companies going bankrupt, and said that the EV maker will not be immune to the downdraft, even as he teased two new products for Tesla in the future.

Its is going to be a challenging 12 months, and Tesla is not immune to the global economic environment, Musk said at the Tesla TSLA shareholder meeting in Austin, Texas, where he spoke for nearly two hours on a wide range of topics.

The macroeconomic environment will be difficult for at least the next 12 months, Musk said. A turnaround, however, would come in the following 12 months, and long-term investors in Tesla will do extremely well, he said.

A shareholder in the audience asked about rumors that Musk would be about to step down as CEO, ending with say it aint so. Musk responded with it aint so, but offered no further details.

The executive also surprised the audience by saying that Tesla, which famously has eschewed traditional advertising, will now do it. We will try advertising and see how it goes, he said.

Musk teased two new products to be unveiled in the future, and promised more details at a yet-to-be-detailed launch event. The unnamed products would be head and shoulders above anything else currently in the market, he said.

Tesla has been working on a next-generation vehicle that would be cheaper than its current offerings, but nothing has been detailed.

Musk promised a revamp for the Tesla Roadster in 2024, although he said that wasnt a firm commitment. A new Roadster will not be a huge contributor to revenue, but it will be sick, he said.

The CEOs remarks were largely upbeat, to the applause of the shareholders at the event. Musk also spoke about autonomous driving and Teslas plans for alternative energy, and confirmed the Cybertruck, Teslas electric pickup truck which has been delayed a couple of times, is on track to be sold this year.

We will make as many as people want them eventually, but the production ramp will be slow at first, he said.

Earlier, a preliminary tally indicated that shareholders voted yes on the proposals endorsed by the company, including approving the nomination of former Chief Technology Officer JB Straubel to the board.

Some shareholders had questioned Straubels nomination, saying that Teslas board already had too many ties with Musk.

A failed proposal, which had been introduced in previous years and called for a third-party audit into Teslas cobalt supply chain to prevent child and forced labor, ended up being embraced by Musk.

You know what, we will do a third-party audit, although he said that Tesla products dont use that much cobalt.

Tesla shares gained 1.2% in after-hours trading. So far this year, Tesla has gained 35%, compared with gains of around 7% for the S&P 500 index SPX .

MADam LUCY, deceased, a new musical about the life (and afterlife) of Lucy Ludwell Paradise (1752-1814), with book & lyrics by two-time Emmy Award-winning songwriter William Schermerhorn and music by composer and recording artist Elise Morris, will have its first staged workshop in Williamsburg, Virginia, in the historic Great Hall of the Sir Christopher Wren Building on the campus of William & Mary with public performances at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 11, 2023. Laurie J. Wolf, professor of theatre, directs.

Set in a salon in mid-19th-century Williamsburg, MADam LUCY, deceased recounts the life story of Lucy Ludwell Paradise: her ascent into the fashionable world of 18th-century society on both sides of the Atlantic, her correspondence and interaction with prominent figures of her day, her tragic descent and incarceration in America's first Public Hospital "for the Reception of Ideots, Lunatics and Persons of insane Mind" and, finally, her continued presence as a resident ghost at her former home, the Ludwell-Paradise House on Duke of Gloucester Street in Williamsburg. Through keen and cutting observations, three Gossips - Mr. Canard, Mr. Tittlebriar & Mrs. Chatworth - shed additional light on Lucy's life and on mental health theories of the 18th and 19th centuries.

"What began as a lark to dramatically musicalize the ghost story about Colonial Williamsburg's most infamous spirit has developed into a deeper exploration of the extraordinary and largely forgotten life of Lucy Ludwell Paradise," says Schermerhorn. "This was a woman who took extreme pride in her Virginian family name and was equally famous for her charm and violent temper. She also had a great appreciation for (expensive) style and a strong sense of entitlement. Combine these traits with a weak personal support structure, along with the many losses she suffered throughout her lifetime and the limited understanding of mental illness in the late-18th/early-19th centuries, and there is the opportunity, through dramatic presentation, to explore this chapter of Williamsburg's history in a powerful and meaningful way."

"What resonated with me was Lucy's flamboyant vibrancy in a life remarkable enough to be personal friends with several founding fathers of America," says Morris. "The depth of her experiences gave me many options musically to explore the different places she might be emotionally and mentally. I threaded different American influences into the score, including gospel/spiritual, theatrical, jazz and classical motifs. My goal was to make a score that blends the emotional moments into musical color and melodies."

Following invitation-only performances on June 7th and 9th, there will be two public performances of the workshop presentation on Sunday, June 11th at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets for both performances will be pay-what-you-can. To secure seating for the performances, please call (757) 221-2671. Support for the staged workshop production is provided in part by the W&M Theater & Dance Performance Fund (5270).

William Schermerhorn (book & lyrics) is a two-time Emmy Award-winning songwriter. As VP/Creative Director for Macy's Parade & Entertainment Group, he brought his vision to some of America's most beloved, large-scale productions for over three decades. In his role, Bill wrote the book and lyrics for several musical endeavors and created original material for a wide range of performers, including Julie Andrews, Harvey Fierstein, The Charlie Daniels Band, Idina Menzel, Kermit the Frog, Debra Voigt, Jane Krakowski, Whoopi Goldberg and the Texas State University Strutters. He won a Daytime Emmy Award in the "Outstanding Original Song" category for "Yes Virginia (There's A Santa Claus)" with composer Wesley Whatley and a second consecutive Daytime Emmy Award for the song "(Won't You) Join Our Parade" with composer Doug Katsaros. He received two additional Daytime Emmy nominations for the Christmas song "I Believe" (Wesley Whatley, music) and "Jolly Dream Pirates" (Michael Feinstein, music).

Past theatrical projects include a musical adaptation of "Miracle on 34th Street" (Wesley Whatley, music) and the Carnegie Hall premiere of "American River Suite," a five-piece musical tone poem, with music by Stephen Flaherty. The Americana revue "Free to Dream: The Songs of Katsaros & Schermerhorn" premiered at Joe's Pub and was performed at the Kimball Theatre in Williamsburg, Virginia. "My Gift of Thanks," a program of Bill's holiday songs, was presented at Feinstein's at The Loews Regency to benefit The Actors Fund. One of Bill's proudest moments was being invited to write "And That's The Way It Is" (Michael Feinstein, music) for legendary broadcast journalist Walter Cronkite's memorial service at Lincoln Center. That song can be heard in the documentary "JFK: One PM Central Standard Time." Macy's "Yes, Virginia The Musical" (Wesley Whatley, music) had its concert debut with The Cincinnati Pops in 2013; a royalty-free school production was performed by numerous student organizations throughout the country and a full-length musical version was presented at Twin City Stage in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Other projects include "Central Park & Other Dreams" (Matthew Sklar, music), a song cycle that premiered at Feinstein's/54 Below in May 2017 and "The Hope of Christmas," a recording of Bill's Christmas songs (with composers Ann Hampton Callaway, Michael Feinstein and Matthew Sklar, among others) interpreted by Ann Hampton Callaway and an outstanding array of jazz musicians, and released on the MCG Jazz label (2015). A vinyl edition was released in 2016. In spring 2017, Bill was an artist-in-residence at the William & Mary Theater Department, which presented his World War II musical "Swing Wings" (book & lyrics by Schermerhorn, music by Milton DeLugg & Mary Ehlinger) in a workshop premiere. In spring 2023, he was commissioned by Essential Voices USA to provide a poem for "Illumination," a new choral composition with music by Pierre Jalbert. "MADam LUCY, deceased" (Elise Morris, music) is his latest theatrical endeavor.

Bill is currently creative director for Colonial Williamsburg's Signature Events. He was born on the Fourth of July.

Elise Morris (music) Vocalist, pianist and singer-songwriter Elise Morris released her latest album, "LoveIsALove" on Jazzbo Records in December of 2021, following up on several exciting projects, including worldwide chart recognition with her original songs "Mardi Gras" reaching No. 1 on U.S. iTunes jazz charts and No. 3 on the Billboard Jazz Digital Sales Charts, "Unto Light Unbroken" reaching No. 37 on U.S. singer/songwriter charts (No. 7 in Canada), and "Silently" becoming a featured summer release in Jazziz Magazine.

With the release of her album "Dancin' With The Boys" in 2020, listeners were introduced to her inventive songs that blend influences of jazz, pop, theatrical, classical, progressive, world, experimental and folk. Elise calls her unique style "jazzbo" because it captures the enigma of music that doesn't fit into one genre alone, but rather crosses stylistic borders.

Recent music travels and tours include the "W.O.A. Records Indie Music Festival" in the U.K., "Friends of Eternity" - a celebration of artists from around the world as the guest of Supreme Master Ching Hai in Taiwan, and the "Biggar Little Festival" - a 10-day festival and leading songwriting workshops in Biggar, Scotland.

As a professional studio and stage musician, Morris' credits cover a wide range of experiences. She was the featured keyboardist/vocalist with Joe Jackson on the international Heaven and Hell tour; she headlined The Water Festival in Sweden as a core member of the fusion band GeWaDoKa; she was music director in concert for Ronnie Spector, and she was featured vocalist and master of the prepared piano, playing the highly improvisational score of Tan Dun ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon") in the play "America Dreaming" at The Vineyard Theatre in New York. She has played and/or sung with Cy Coleman, Rebecca Pidgeon and Peter, Paul, and Mary, among others, and has performed with many artists of the vibrant NYC music scene over the years, including music directing the current "Stoned Soul Picnic" project featuring the music of Laura Nyro.

As a composer, Morris has written underscores for Scholastic Audio Books for children, for documentary film shorts, and for straight plays as well as music and lyrics for musicals. Her dance scores have often included her performing live with dancers all around the globe. As a lyricist, she has written lyrics for Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden. Her voice has brought life, color and a world of sounds to myriad TV commercials, and as a voiceover artist, she created the character voice of Candy for the animated Moviefone promos in theaters. Morris also sings the otherworldly wail during the opening credits of the CBS TV hit show "Cold Case," whose Signature Sound is based on techniques Elise learned from listening to music from around the world.

She is a recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Music Composition, the I-Park Sound Sculpture Award and has been awarded multiple artist residencies, fellowships and grants.
