Joe Biden used the power of the White House and his presidency to have federal agencies spy on Elon Musk, the billionaire chief of Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink and X, even before President Donald Trump was elected to his second term.
The Daily Mail described the details from the Wall Street Journal as a “bombshell.”
It explains how Musk was “trailed” by government agencies during 2022 and 2023, including Homeland Security and the Department of Justice.
The ostensible reason, the report said, was his routine contact with foreign nationals.
The report said the investigations focused on claims and concerns that Musk was “being swayed by foreign powers in Eastern Europe and elsewhere.”
The investigations apparently never produced anything to support the concerns, and no charges ever were formulated.
“Sources said the probes highlighted concerns about the number of foreign nationals in Musk’s inner circle as he was gaining influence in the U.S. and before he began publicly supporting Donald Trump,” the report said. “Last year, Musk poured upwards of $250 million into Trump’s campaign through a super PAC, the America PAC, raising questions over the unprecedented level of spending in the 2024 election.”
The report said “insiders” in the PAC expressed concern over the number of “outsiders” involved in various discussions.
Musk was born in South Africa but now is a naturalized U.S. citizen whose company, SpaceX, has a number of government contracts. His Starlink organization also has a network of communications satellites that have played key roles in various disputes.
The two publications together said they did not get a comment from Musk, the White House, DHS and SpaceX.
Insiders also were quoted in the report claiming Musk’s “proximity to a number of foreign nationsl was a source of tension within Trump’s White House.”
Musk himself has high-level security clearances.
