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.

I'd argue Musk cared more about being able to bloviate on Twitter than he did about getting richer from that transaction.

Of course there's the very real possibility that he was foolish enough to believe he could make money on the deal.
