Elon Musk's financial interests put him in a position of having his own personal foreign policy, but new reporting shows that whether it's manufacturing in China or the Starlink network being used in Ukraine, Musk’s decisions can run counter to stated US policy.

Musk is South African. We should expect his loyalties to reflect his home country more than the US.

What good does this really do south africa though? Id more expect his loyalty to be to himself and his own profit than any country regardless of where he's native.
