Is starlink part of SpaceX, the Chinese would be interested in that too, and they are the only people with enough money to prop up Elmo.
I'm not holding my breath for there to be consequences from this, but it'd be pretty cool if there were.
This racist fascist and son of Apartheid can stop at nothing and do whatever it takes to be the rich person in this planet. The only way to break him is to Boycott Tesla and hope the US army find a other rocket company to replace SpaceX
Yeah Werner von Braun didn't care who he worked for or who he put into the grave as long as he got to make rockets, Elon does kind of remind me of that.
This was reported awhile ago. He was insisting that the Chinese use anonymous banking, such as going through the Cayman Islands. I wouldn't be shocked to find out that much of Musk's conglomerate of companies are seeing their valuations increase because of massive levels of Chinese and other foreign investments. China especially, as many folks used to use real estate as their primary investment, but with the real estate bust, they started putting money into stock.
Why is this big news ? This is expected.. it's not shocking
It’s a private company no? So what’s the issue?
Starlink has been shown to be pretty useful for Ukraine's military so this seems like a national security concern for the US. Maybe they should nationalize SpaceX?
Yup, that mf wanted to go to the moon, didn't care who gave the money for it. Felon wants to go to mars. I'd be happy if he gets there ASAP and stays there with some fuck robots of his
Consequence is that the insider falls down stairs
I dunno. Maybe I just need to get my mind right, but at this point, I now read Chinese "investments" or "meddling" as a good thing for this country and the world. I know, I know, I've lost it. Help me out here.
I'm pretty sure Elon doesn't consider himself an American, or any nationality. He's just a "citizen of the world" in his mind. Laws are things for peasants, not "gods" like him.
Regardless of your feelings, it's illegal for a DoD contractor.
Just read the article. "While there is no prohibition on Chinese ownership in U.S. military contractors, such investment is heavily regulated and the issue is treated by the U.S. government as a significant national security concern." It's not banned, but it's regulated (for good reasons, to ensure confidential data doesn't leak). It's only an issue if that investment is hidden from regulators.

He has immunity from consequences, for now.
From the article, the obvious: >While there is no prohibition on Chinese ownership in U.S. military contractors, such investment is heavily regulated and the issue is treated by [the U.S. government](https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/america-first-investment-policy/) as a significant national security concern. You wanna work on DoD contracts? Welp, there's rules\*\*. \*\*Technokings Excluded
Maybe I should read more of the articles vs commenting too soon. Sorry all
Some of this is actually new, the direct ownership is the news here if I understand correctly. >It was previously reported that some Chinese investors had bought indirect stakes in SpaceX, investing in middleman funds that in turn owned shares in the rocket company. The new testimony describes direct investments that suggest a closer relationship with SpaceX.
Yeah bad news the Chinese don't just give money for nothing. This guy gives zero fucks about America or anyone else who isn't named Elon.
China has Elon beat in their cars and Ai
Is that on his tax returns?
Notice you don’t see him attending any events or face to face meetings where the public are aware of his presence anymore 🤔
Then they’d all have the ASSASSINATION COORDINATES.
He would take money from anyone and spin it in his favor.
