Musk and China
-
Lt Gen Russel Honoré condemned Musk’s web of Chinese business interests – including $1.4bn in state bank loans and a Tesla factory subject to Beijing’s stringent information-sharing laws – in a New York Times op-ed as he questioned the SpaceX chief’s fitness to shape White House policy.
“The fact that Mr Musk spent a quarter of a billion dollars to help re-elect Mr Trump does not give the incoming White House licence to ignore these risks,” Honoré wrote.
Three separate bodies – the air force, the defense department’s inspector general, and the undersecretary of defense for intelligence – are reviewing Musk’s failure to disclose meetings with foreign leaders, a requirement under his security clearance.
