A lot of SpaceX technology has export restrictions. On top of that, Elon himself doesn't have any engineering knowledge or degrees and his entire knowledge base on space travel is from Kerbal Space Program that he played for like a week. So what exactly is he going to bring to other countries space programs? The people working at SpaceX aren't going to move to China, and Elon can't just pack his rockets up in a suitcase and fly somewhere else with them.

> and secondly Elon could setup a second SpaceX base overseas

I'd be very surprised if this is possible given ITAR regulations.

>Trump is a deal maker

Is he though?

He didn't write the book 'The art of the deal'.

He is a terrible businessman. I read that most of his properties are loss making. How many other people have lost money on a casino?

He didn't end the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 24 hours, as he said he would.

What good deals has he made?

> Trump is a deal maker and knows he doesn’t have the cards.

That contradicts almost everything we've seen on his government. He doesn't seem to be a deal maker, doesn't seem to even grasp the concept of deals, and doesn't seem to care if he has the cards or not.

As a US citizen, it's not clear to me that Elon legally can set up anything overseas without starting from scratch, and going that far might just make him the next Gerald Bull.

cia would step in before we ever allowed that to happen.

"Trump is a deal maker"

I hear that all the time but what deals has he made as president? He more seems like a bully who tries to beat up people but then quickly retreats when they hit back.

> Trump is a deal maker

He's absolutely not
