They followed Elon Musk for 2 years: "He could be a threat to national security"

It has been stated that Elon Musk, one of the most talked-about names in the US in recent days, was closely monitored by government institutions during the Joe Biden administration.

According to the news of the Wall Street Journal, one of the US media; In 2022 and 2023, officials (DHS) the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security closely monitored people who came to visit Musk.

Especially Eastern Europe…

It was reported that state officials are monitoring Musk along with "foreign nationals coming to his properties," and it was stated that these individuals are potentially capable of influencing Musk or having political connections. Among the information provided, it is also noted that those coming from Eastern European countries are prioritized in the monitoring process.

There is a thought that "it can be a target"

The thought behind this step of the Biden administration is that a technology giant and dollar billionaire like Musk could potentially be a target from a national security perspective.

As it is known, Elon Musk gave great support to Donald Trump and his team in the US elections and was shown as one of the people who had the biggest share in the Republicans' victory in the election.

Musk, who also provides Starlink service to the White House, has faced criticism from some circles regarding this service due to security concerns.

Trump, whose relationship with Musk has soured, stated in a statement yesterday that they will continue to receive Starlink services and that he will send the Tesla car gifted to him from the White House to another location, but he will not sell it.

Those against the Biden administration claim that the Democrats have turned state power into a weapon and therefore surveil those who criticize them.
