"The spending agreement released Tuesday included a bipartisan provision to limit and screen U.S. investments in China, among dozens of other proposals attached to the 1,500-page bill.

As the CEO and largest stockholder in Tesla, Musk has extensive business connections to China. The company operates a major manufacturing plant in Shanghai and has sought to build deeper connections with Chinese companies.

DeLauro cited Tesla’s operations in China as a reason for Musk to derail a bill containing limits on investments in the country, and she cited potential issues with technologies such as self-driving cars and long-lasting batteries being made in China."

It's ridiculous that government officials aren't required to distance themselves from their business interests. And an unofficial advisor like musk can do as he pleases without any repercussions. That together with his social media influence make him a danger to democracy, i.e. if judged the USA is still a democracy.
