The House China Select Committee is reportedly focusing its scrutiny on former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, as highlighted in a recent article by Politico. This scrutiny comes amid ongoing concerns regarding Musk's substantial investments in China and their potential impact on U.S. national security. Critics, including former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, have accused Musk of being compromised by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), suggesting that his business interests may influence his actions and decisions. Retired Admiral Mike Studeman echoed these concerns, labeling Musk as a 'Chinese sympathizer of high order' and questioning whether Musk prioritizes national security over personal financial interests. The debate continues as various political factions weigh in on Musk's role and influence regarding U.S.-China relations.
