In a story that raises serious questions about government overreach, a new report reveals that federal agencies under President Joe Biden secretly monitored visits by foreign nationals to properties owned by Elon Musk—sparking fears about attempts to influence the billionaire businessman who has deep ties to national defense.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice conducted a covert investigation in 2022 and 2023. Their focus: whether foreign nationals—primarily from Eastern Europe—were trying to compromise Musk, who serves as CEO of SpaceX and holds top-secret U.S. security clearance.
Musk’s company is directly involved in critical national security missions, including satellite launches for the U.S. military. The idea that the Biden administration would quietly investigate someone so vital to America’s defense infrastructure has conservatives asking: Is this really about national security—or political revenge?
Trump-Musk Alliance Targeted by the Deep State?
Elon Musk was once a key ally of President Donald Trump. He was appointed as a special government employee during Trump’s second term and led efforts to slash wasteful federal spending. That partnership unraveled last week after a high-profile feud broke out between the two.
But insiders say the federal probe may have been brewing long before the fallout.
Investigators reportedly briefed the FBI on Musk’s international contacts, including visits to his private residences and events attended by foreign nationals. Some staffers inside Musk’s pro-Trump super PAC, launched to support Trump’s 2024 campaign, also voiced concern over these foreign interactions.
Even more alarming, the Journal reports that Musk has been in direct contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022. In response, lawyers for SpaceX allegedly advised Musk not to apply for higher-level security clearance, warning that his international ties could prompt federal scrutiny—or even strip him of his current clearance.
China, Russia, and the Real Risk
Conservatives like Steve Bannon have long warned that Musk’s extensive business dealings in Communist China could create major conflicts of interest. When the world’s richest man is working with a regime hostile to U.S. values, it’s not just a concern—it’s a potential national security crisis.
Despite working closely with President Trump in recent months, Musk’s growing foreign entanglements reportedly made even Trump’s team uneasy. Some now wonder if the Biden administration is weaponizing federal agencies to drive a wedge between two of the most powerful figures on the right.
Trump Issues Stern Warning
After Musk hinted he might support Democrat candidates following his feud with Trump, the president didn’t mince words. When asked by NBC News, Trump replied:
“He will have to pay very serious consequences if he does that.”
Musk, for his part, fired back on X, saying:
“Without me, Trump would have lost the election. Dems would control the House, and Republicans would be 51–49 in the Senate.”
Could Musk Lose His Security Clearance?
If the Department of Defense, DOJ, or DHS determines that Musk’s foreign relationships pose a real threat, his top-secret clearance could be revoked. Legal advisers have already flagged the danger.
At a time when the Biden administration appears more interested in targeting political opponents than confronting real foreign adversaries, this story raises a serious question:
Is Elon Musk being investigated for national security—or punished for supporting Donald Trump?
