Busted: Elon Musk’s SpaceX secretly allows investment from China

so the committee's republicans looking at the Signal breach today and yesterday were all about China, China, China, with very little acknowledgement about the massive security failure. I was just wondering how republicans will spin this:

Elon Musk’s aerospace giant SpaceX allows investors from China to buy stakes in the company as long as the funds are routed through the Cayman Islands or other offshore secrecy hubs, according to previously unreported court records.

The rare picture of SpaceX’s approach recently emerged in an under-the-radar corporate dispute in Delaware. Both SpaceX’s chief financial officer and Iqbaljit Kahlon, a major investor, were forced to testify in the case.

In December, Kahlon testified that SpaceX prefers to avoid investors from China because it is a defense contractor. There is a major exception though, he said: SpaceX finds it “acceptable” for Chinese investors to buy into the company through offshore vehicles.

“The primary mechanism is that those investors would come through intermediate entities that they would create or others would create,” Kahlon said. “Typically they would set up BVI structures or Cayman structures or Hong Kong structures and various other ones,” he added, using the acronym for the British Virgin Islands. Offshore vehicles are often used to keep investors anonymous.

Experts called SpaceX’s approach unusual, saying they were troubled by the possibility that a defense contractor would take active steps to conceal foreign ownership interests.

^^ just a little 'troubling', no?

I thought the Chinese were planning to reach the Moon with their own rockets, not SpaceX.

I had to stop listening.
My BP rose up so high with all the references to how the Biden administration viewed China instead of the leak that I had to go drink me some Valerian root tea and do some tai chi to calm my ass down.

DonOld had a secret Chinese bank account and Ivanka got 41 trademarks fast tracked by the Chinese government. I’m sure there is even more “there” there with this Musk - MAGAt cabal. (See also: Russia.)





We. Told. Them. So.

China didnt get to Number 2 by people NOT doing business with them.

Ha ha ha!

Every american here buys from china every day!

You cant afford not to!

How does this really intelligent observation of yours relate to republicans deflecting and giving Gabbard and Patel cover?

 

[Bn2f]

No… is this what you were babbling about while you were choking on my cawk?

Ahhhh, it would appear that you know how to use the ignore function as well.
Suck hard on my cawkclit punk ass.

Could you translate that from crackhead into English for us, Fenty?

 

[DeluxAuto]

Your inability to comprehend English isn't my problem, dwarf.

But the fact that you knew I was addressing you is fucking hilarious.

Agree that Musk’s financial connections to China, Trump’s debts to Musk and Russia, and Vance’s indebtedness to Thiel are all troubling.

Everyone in this administration is owned by outside interests.

Bwahaha!

 

[HisArpy]

Lol, the titanium used in the SR71 airframe came from Russia. The chips used in the electronics for military aircraft and weaponry comes from China/Taiwan.

Basically this thread is all about fake news.

 

[RoryN]

Basically my entire Lit existence is all about fake news.

FYP. YW.
