Giddy over Democrats holding the Senate in the 2022 Miderm elections, 79-year-old President Joe Biden showed why he’s a hazard to U.S. democracy, saying Musk should be investigated for his relations to America’s adversaries. Reports last week that the Justice Department was considering investigating Musk were dismissed by the White House. Today, Biden was asked whether Musk should be investigated for collaborating with a Saudi Arabia conglomerate to acquire Twitter. “I think Elon Musk’s cooperation and/or technical relationship with other countries is worthy of being looked at,” Biden said, essentially saying multinational corporations should be scrutinized by the Justice. Department. Biden’s outrageous call to investigate Musk should tell elected officials that he’s not fit for public office. Biden should be investigated for his Ukraine proxy war that tanked the U.S. and world economy.
Biden’s got cosmic nerve taking about wasting Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland’s time on another witch hunt, when the real investigation should be on why Biden has mismanaged the U.S. economy and driven foreign relations with U.S. adversaries into a state-of-war. When it comes to Saudi Arabia, Biden went July 15 of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia with cup-in-hand to beg 38-year-old Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to produce more oil before the Midterm elections. Biden was acutely aware of how the inflated fuel prices were tanking his approval ratings, but, more importantly, dragging down the entire Democrat Party. Republicans, poised to take over the House, could easily look into Biden’s relations with Ukraine and China, where billions of dollars have changed hands. Biden’s family made millions in China and Ukraine before the Feb. 24 Ukraine War.
Yet can you imagine Biden saying that Musk, the world’s richest man, should be investigated for arranging financing with a foreign power? What multinational corporations doesn’t do business overseas? “Whether he [Musk] did anything inappropriate, I not suggesting that. I suggesting they’re worth being looked at,” Biden told a press conference today. What multinational corporation answers to the Justice Department unless a crime has been committed? Does Biden really think the Justice or Treasury Departments should be snooping into the inner working of multinational corporations? White House denied last month that they were looking into Musk’s Twitter purchase. Now Biden says he thinks Musk’s business transactions should be looked at. Musk has strong relations with Russia and China, largely because they’re potential markets for his many businesses.
Biden can’t get along with any foreign adversary, having wrecked U.S.-Russian and U.S.-Chinese relations. Why should Biden say Musk should be look at when his decisions on Russia and China have damaged U.S. national security to the point the U.S. is on the verge of WW III? Since taking office Biden has done everything to destroy decades of cooperative relations with China and Russia. Now the White House cannot work with Moscow or Beijing to solve threats to civilization, like 38-year-old North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. Kim has been test firing ballistic missiles with the intent of hitting the U.S. mainland with an ICBM or hitting South Korea with intermediate or short-range nuclear missiles. Where’s Biden supposed to go now to protect the Pacific Rim, when Russia and China are no longer cooperative partners trying to contain a growing nuclear threat?
Biden wants to shut Musk up because he just bought the most powerful communication platform on the planet, catering to countries around the world. Biden has painted U.S. foreign policy into a corner, leaving U.S. national security in shambles. Musk has few friends in the liberal press because of his conservative views. When he proposed a settlement to the Ukraine War, the White didn’t say a word. Only Ukraine told Musk to “F-Off.” Musk has tried to make suggestions about the abysmal relations with the U.S. and Beijing. Musk urged the White House to consider letting Taiwan partially join Communist China, to avert a possible war. After all, Biden said Sept. 23 that the U.S. would commit troops to defend Taiwan in the event of a Communist Chinese invasion. No other U.S. president has committed military defense to Taiwan since the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act.
Biden is the last person suggesting someone be investigated for whatever reason. Musk does plenty of business with foreign governmentswith the SpaceX and Tesla Motors businesses. Musk uses China as a primary market and manufacturing hub for Tesla Motors. What’s Musk supposed to do, apologize to Biden? Biden continues to make inexcusable gaffes jeopardizing U.S national security. Can you imagine Biden saying in Warsaw Poland March 26 that Russian President Vladimir Putin should be removed from power? How many times can Biden’s spokesmen and women bail him out? Musk isn’t t the one that deserves to be audited. Biden’s actions in Ukraine, starting a proxy war with the Russian Federation pushing the world to the brink of WW III and nuclear war should be examined by U.S. elected officials. Maybe now that the House turns GOP Biden will face some tough questiond.
