There was another dealmaker in the Gulf last week: Elon Musk. SpaceX, Neuralink, and the Boring Company all announced new projects in the region. His family has been active there as well. Here's our story: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/w...
At one point, a police agency in the Philippines even paid for sex services for the agents, raising the risk of extortion or blackmail. (The FBI said that it has since changed its selection and training process for staff stationed overseas.)
Even as the FBI worked with governments in Southeast Asia to combat human trafficking, agents had sex with prostitutes in Cambodia, the Philippines and Thailand over a nine-year period, a document we obtained in a FOIA lawsuit shows. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/w...
The Justice Department under both the Biden and Trump administrations fought to keep this information secret, but a federal judge ordered the government to release it. Thanks to the legal team at @nytimes.com for pursuing this on my behalf.
There's no evidence that Musk has directly shaped Trump's trade policies. But the tariffs are one of several measures adopted by the administration that could help Tesla, we report.
