"The mechanisms through which this #conflict could compromise national #security are not theoretical... #Chinese authorities, well aware of Tesla’s vulnerability in their market, could apply subtle pressure... Even without explicit coercion, Musk’s awareness of which Chinese facilities would be primary targets in a conflict could unconsciously influence his #business decisions... inadvertently telegraphing US #military priorities."

Text from article(edited for length): This meeting represents an unprecedented blurring of lines between private business interests and national security. Musk simultaneously heads SpaceX, a major defense contractor receiving billions in Pentagon funds, while directing government efficiency efforts that could determine which competitors receive future contracts... ...China’s explicit identification of Musk’s Starlink satellite network as an extension of the U.S. military—a view that puts his profound business interests in China in direct conflict with his privileged access to US war planning... conflict that led the Air Force to previously deny Musk an even higher security clearance... The mechanisms through which this conflict could compromise national security are not theoretical. Knowledge of U.S. targeting priorities creates leverage that can be exploited in multiple ways. Chinese authorities, well aware of Tesla’s vulnerability in their market, could apply subtle pressure through regulatory actions against his Shanghai factory. Even without explicit coercion, Musk’s awareness of which Chinese facilities would be primary targets in a conflict could unconsciously influence his business decisions—perhaps steering Tesla investments away from areas identified as strategic targets, inadvertently telegraphing U.S. military priorities. The Chinese government, which maintains sophisticated intelligence operations, would analyze any such patterns for insights into U.S. planning.

Elon Musk Is Said To Be Getting The War Plan Against China
techdirt.com/2025/03/21/elon-m

"**reporting that the nature of the meeting changed because of the public revelation**

...The same #ElonMusk who is currently CEO of #Tesla, which operates a flagship factory in #Shanghai that produces more than half of the company’s global deliveries...

This isn’t just a routine #conflict of interest—it’s a national #security nightmare"

Headline and text(edited for length): Elon Musk Is Said To Be Getting The War Plan Against China from the beyond-conflicts-of-interest dept Fri, Mar 21st 2025 09:24am - Mike Brock Update: After the NY Times reported this story last night, Donald Trump denied that Musk would be getting the China war plan, and now the NY Times is reporting that, while that was the original plan, it was scrapped because of the public outcry The Wall Street Journal is similarly reporting that the nature of the meeting changed because of the public revelation. We’re still running this article from Mike Brock that he wrote yesterday, because of the seriousness of this situation. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, continuing to show his anti-free speech instincts, has threatened whoever leaked the original story. The New York Times reports that Elon Musk is about to receive access to one of America’s most sensitive military secrets: the Pentagon’s war plan for a potential conflict with China. Let that sink in for a moment. The same Elon Musk who is currently CEO of Tesla, which operates a flagship factory in Shanghai that produces more than half of the company’s global deliveries. The same Elon Musk whose company has a $2.8 billion loan agreement with Chinese lenders. The same Elon Musk who has publicly stated that... has consistently praised Chinese leadership on social media. This isn’t just a routine conflict of interest—it’s a national security nightmare unfolding in plain sight.
