Trump, Musk, and War Games: Who’s Calling the Shots?

Elon Musk’s deep ties to China and unchecked influence in the Trump administration raise urgent national security concerns. Is he serving America, Beijing, or himself?

Elon Musk's position at the intersection of global business and U.S. national security has once again come under scrutiny following revelations of his recent visit to the Pentagon. Questions regarding his business entanglements in China and his advisory role in the Trump administration have prompted renewed concerns about potential conflicts of interest, raising broader questions about transparency and national security in the United States.

In a rare admission, President Donald Trump acknowledged on Friday that Musk would not be privy to plans concerning a potential war with China due to his extensive business interests in the country.

"Elon has businesses in China. And he would be susceptible, perhaps, to that," Trump stated when pressed by reporters.
