Summary

Israel and other US allies are reportedly concerned Elon Musk may pose a security risk, fearing he could share sensitive information.

These concerns arose amid at least three federal security reviews into Musk and SpaceX for failing to comply with protocols protecting national security.

The US Air Force recently denied Musk high-security clearance, and Israel’s Defense Ministry labeled him a “wild card” during discussions about his Starlink network.

Musk’s contacts with foreign leaders, including calls with Vladimir Putin, and past controversies have heightened scrutiny over his actions and potential risks.

    But it’s not legal to come from a foreign government…

    AIPAC’s predecessor had to register as a foreign agent, which placed restrictions on how much they could give.

    In response AIPACs first bribes was to the people who determine what organization is an agent of a foreign government, so AIPAC hasn’t had to register as one.

        it doesn’t change the fact that it’s legalized bribery

        Good thing no one said it wasn’t…

        If there wasn’t so many insults in that comment, I’d try and explain what you’re misunderstanding.

        You’re just a tool of the oligarchy. How proud you must be of that.

        Do you understand that the person you’re responding to didn’t suggest that anything AIPAC did was right or that they support them in any way?

        Why are you attacking someone who seems to agree with you? If there was some other comment that actually voiced support for the oligarchs, or Israel, or the genocide, you should attack them in response to that comment.

          It’s very rude to demand time from people who think you’re garbage.

          And yes, defending garbage makes you garbage, too.

          Have fun goose stepping down your main street. I’ll be fighting everything you do.

          And I will not apologize for calling you the absolute fucking piece of shit you are.
