Elon Musk Labeled National Security Risk by Retired U.S. Army General Russel L. Honoré in New York Times Op-Ed
Dec 30, 2024, 12:29 PM
Elon Musk has been labeled a national security risk by retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Russel L. Honoré in a New York Times op-ed. Honoré's concerns stem from Musk's extensive business ties with China, particularly through Tesla, which he claims could pose a threat to U.S. national security. Musk's SpaceX is currently under federal review for failing to disclose details of his meetings with foreign leaders, raising further questions about his security clearance. Honoré argues that the incoming Trump administration should take these risks seriously, especially given Musk's role as a close advisor to President-elect Donald Trump. The op-ed highlights Musk's financial dependence on China, including a $1.4 billion loan from Chinese banks for Tesla's Shanghai gigafactory, and his public statements that appear to align with Chinese interests.
