The U.S. government charges that China has a systematic strategy of using even minority investments to secure leverage over companies in sensitive industries, as well as to gain privileged access to information about cutting-edge technology. U.S. regulators view even private investors in China as potential agents of the country’s government, experts said.
The new materials do not contain allegations that the Chinese investments in SpaceX would violate the law or were directed by the Chinese government. The company did not respond to detailed questions from ProPublica. Kahlon declined to comment on the reasons for SpaceX’s approach.ProPublica spoke to 13 national security lawyers, corporate attorneys and experts in Chinese finance about the SpaceX testimony. Twelve said they had never heard of a U.S. company with such a requirement and could not think of a purpose for it besides concealing Chinese ownership in SpaceX. The 13th said they had heard of companies adopting the practice as a way to hide foreign investment.
“It is certainly a policy of obfuscation,” Andrew Verstein, a UCLA law professor who has studied defense contractors, said of the SpaceX testimony. “It hints at potentially serious problems. We count on companies to be forthright with the government about whether they’ve taken money from America’s rivals.”

In recent years, the billionaire has offered sympathetic remarks about China’s desire to reclaim Taiwan and lavished praise on the government. “My experience with the government of China is that they actually are very responsive to the people,” Musk said toward the end of Trump’s first term. “In fact, possibly more responsive to the happiness of people than in the U.S.”
Elon Musk admitted why he’s spending $18 million & paying voters $100 a pop to flip Wisconsin Supreme Court. It’s all about keeping GOP gerrymandering advantage in US House. If Dems retake House they can investigate Musk, DOGE & his $38 billion in govt contracts www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
because chauvinism, this is a selling point
El0n/Musk/Rubio will have blood on the hands before this is over -- much of it the blood of the American people

It's obvious why Musk is doing anything he's doing in the government to anyone but Trump s
Sucker
Is he?Elon has had a background check and has security clearance.
"Child Army." But, to answer your question, Elon is overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency.
utter contempt for a co-equal branch of government
https://popular.info/p/how-the-socia...administrationThe Trump administration has installed a DOGE operative as the new Chief Information Officer (CIO) of the Social Security Administration (SSA) in an apparent effort to evade a federal court order blocking DOGE affiliates from accessing databases containing the sensitive personal information of millions of Americans.
Popular Information obtained an internal memorandum from Acting SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek announcing Scott Coulter, a DOGE operative previously assigned to NASA and the SSA, as the SSA's new CIO.
Well they say Musk is part Chinese so some dots are connecting…
Wired is one of the best on El0n/DOGE
https://www.wired.com/story/elon-mus...e-connections/Since the first days of the Trump administration, Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been everywhere in the federal government, moving fast and breaking things. In a matter of weeks, DOGE operatives have spread across dozens of government agencies as they have attempted to terminate tens of thousands of federal employees. With so much focus on where DOGE is going, WIRED wanted to take a beat to look at where they’ve come from and what that might tell us about how they’re thinking about reshaping the federal government.
cha-ching
workers who voluntarily accepted early retirement and buyouts are getting screwed
moar savings for DOGE!
https://federalnewsnetwork.com/workf...trative-leave/The second HHS employee said HR personnel are still waiting on department leaders to approve these VERA/VSIP applications.
“I’ve tried every possible option — no answers, no solutions, no concern or care, empathy. None of it,” the employee said. “[HHS] had us make decisions based on those emails, and now they’re taking that money away from us.”
The early retirement and buyout offers are the latest in a series of steps taken governmentwide to reduce the federal workforce. Other administrations made VERA/VSIP offers to agencies, but the HHS employee said the department is working under a faster timeline to complete the process.
“It’s just not clear why HHS has to rush to just get everyone out. The employees took the bait from that HHS email and made decisions to accept VERA and VSIP, thinking they would get another eight weeks of pay after approval, and that’s not going to happen,” the employee said. “The speed at which this is happening and not considering how valuable people are — making some sort of analysis or assessment before doing it — scares me. We could be a lot more efficient and reduce a lot of the workforce, but it’s not being done properly.”
State Department officially notifies Congress of USAID closure
that's not the way it works, either
takes an act of Congress to undo an act of Congress
Well, it's officially shuttered nonetheless
humpty-humpty and all that
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
And another law firm surrendered to Trump today.
When federal judges start telling government lawyers they're not credible, there's gonna be a showdown
