Oh, wait, Trump didn't do that. Joe Biden did that. For two years, according to the Wall Street Journal, Merrick Garland and Alejandro Mayorkas surveilled Elon Musk and his contacts to check out "influence." This seems to have started around the time that Musk bought Twitter and refused to participate in the Biden administration's Big Tech-Big Government Censorship Complex:
Several U.S. government agencies in 2022 and 2023 tracked foreign nationals coming and going to Elon Musk’s properties, according to people familiar with the matter.
The investigation included the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department. It focused on people visiting the tech billionaire, from countries in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, who might have been trying to influence him. Until last week, Musk was one of President Trump’s closest advisers. ...
The probe, predating the current Trump administration, highlights concerns about the number of foreign nationals in Musk’s orbit. Musk runs five companies, including SpaceX, with sensitive government contracts, and has had unprecedented access to top government officials.
Yeah, horse puckey. Musk founded SpaceX twenty years prior to that surveillance, and has developed his private space-flight company with NASA ever since. Musk has had high-level contacts with government officials all along, not just through SpaceX but also Tesla, which made Musk the darling of progressives at the time. By 2021, Musk was practically ubiquitous among the cognoscenti, especially on the Left. Through both companies, Musk wielded plenty of influence with administrations of both parties.
