US Congressman alarmed by Tesla China deal

 

Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company is opening a Megapack battery factory in Shanghai

 

Republican US congressman Mike Gallagher is “concerned” about Tesla’s cozy relationship with China, he told Reuters on Monday, after CEO Elon Musk announced his company was building a new Megapack battery factory in Shanghai.

 

“Tesla seems entirely dependent a) on the largesse of the federal government via tax breaks and b) upon access to the Chinese market,” Gallagher said, describing “the sort of deals they’ve struck there” as “very concerning.”

 

The Wisconsin congressman, who chairs the House of Representatives’ Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, conceded that he hoped Tesla would be forthcoming with information about its dealings with Beijing. However, he warned, “if we reach roadblocks and we get to a point where lawyers are getting involved with answers, that’s when you start to think about subpoenas.”

 

Responding to a Twitter user’s negative comment about Tesla’s China business, Musk on Sunday pointed out that his company was “increasing production rapidly in Texas, California and Nevada,” insisting that the government subsidies it receives are an industry-wide phenomenon and that if they were removed, “Tesla’s competitive position would improve.”

Boston FBI Raids Wrong Hotel Room, Detains And Interrogates Innocent Man For 45 Minutes

 

Few FBI blunders of late likely compare to what just happened in Boston last week, when Federal Agents on a training mission wound up barging into the wrong hotel room and inadvertently interrogating an innocent hotel guest who was sleeping for nearly 45 minutes.

 

The bizarre mistake, outlined by NPR last week, occurred during a training exercise at a Boston hotel.

 

An innocent guest was sleeping at his room at the Revere Hotel when Federal Agents began banging on his door "and demanding to be let in", the report says. Agents then handcuffed the innocent man, isolated him in the shower and interrogated him for more than 45 minutes before ever realizing they had made a mistake.

 

Lt. Col. Mike Burns, spokesperson for U.S. Army Special Operations Command, commented on the blunder: "First and foremost, we'd like to extend our deepest apologies to the individual who was affected by the training exercise."
