Israel and other US allies are reportedly concerned Elon Musk may pose a security risk, fearing he could share sensitive information.
These concerns arose amid at least three federal security reviews into Musk and SpaceX for failing to comply with protocols protecting national security.
The US Air Force recently denied Musk high-security clearance, and Israel's Defense Ministry labeled him a "wild card" during discussions about his Starlink network.
Musk’s contacts with foreign leaders, including calls with Vladimir Putin, and past controversies have heightened scrutiny over his actions and potential risks.
A reminder for those not from the United States: bribing politicians in the United States is perfectly legal, and the standard operating procedure.
It’s just not called a bribe, because that is a crime that only poor people would be charged with. If you’re a large corporation or a billionaire, it’s automatically legalized for you. In fact, you’re considered extremely stupid and foolish for not bribing as many politicians as possible.
But it's not legal to come from a foreign government...
AIPAC's predecessor had to register as a foreign agent, which placed restrictions on how much they could give.
In response AIPACs first bribes was to the people who determine what organization is an agent of a foreign government, so AIPAC hasn't had to register as one.
