MSNBC Host Claims Elon Musk Is Controlled By China?

MITCHELL: "And let me just add one other thing because there's election foreign interference also, it's not just domestic. We've got what Russia has done in the past, what China, what Iran and other adversaries. And going forward it's been reported, Ben, reliably reported that a quarter of Musk's financing for his various enterprises comes from China. And what are the guardrails there? What about that -- that kind of influence and conflict of interest?"
COLLINS: "Yeah, and Saudi Arabia as well."
MITCHELL: "OK."
COLLINS: "The -- the other issue is he can't put out -- you know, he took the company private. So there's no fiduciary duty to shareholders to do the right thing anymore, to put out quarterly reports about the direction of the company or if he's doing the right thing. Basically, he is beholden to his own checkbook, advertisers. If advertisers flee this platform it's going to be a very expensive hobby for him. But if they stay on the platform then he can, you know, do this basically with impunity and aid whatever foreign government he wants for his own business deals."
