U.S. intelligence agencies in 2022-2023 monitored foreigners visiting the homes of Elon Musk. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal newspaper, citing sources.

The actions were authorized by the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Justice, and the focus was on visitors from Eastern Europe and elsewhere. Although the case did not result in charges against the businessman or his guests, the FBI held meetings on the material received.

Musk had previously backed Trump's election campaign, investing over $250 million, but their alliance effectively dissolved last week due to a public altercation.
