"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.

my MAGA friends were complaining about how Harris ran for POTUS, despite 'not being elected' by the DEM party. now the shoe is on the other foot - MAGA's are now defending Musk's appointments as, essentially,the Budget Director. he certainly has not been elected

What a shame you couldn't be bothered to read the article.

This is about his parasite UK relatives who are disappointed they can't cash in on Musk's success.

One of the worst political takes I ever read. How can a supposed news outlet be so uninformed? I bet they said the Steele dossier was fact, the laptop was disinformation, biden was sharp and able, Trump praised neoNazis at Charlotte and all the other lies that deeply dishonest msm pushed with such devastating consequence for trust and democracy. I note Australians seem to be particularly misinformed about all things DJT, is it due to distance or some other reason?

 

Bless you Mr Musk. When agents of disinfo are frothing and lying about you, it makes me v happy. You are right over the mark - as always.

And what has that to do with my opinion on the parasite relatives from your previous story?

BTW, weren't you the person who not so long ago said you couldn't care less about US politics, and requested to have this sub forum closed?

Well you have been very active though, always slagging off the same people, never about the senile old guy.

We already know you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so maybe better give it a rest, because you only make it more obvious with every new thread.
