In addition, technological development expert, Hisham Al-Natour, said: “Elon Musk expressed his concerns about the possibility of taking retaliatory policies against him in the event that former President Donald Trump loses amid the growing political tensions in the United States. These policies may target Musk’s companies and interests, especially if his views Politics conflicts with the next ruling authority.”
He added: As is known, major technology companies are closely linked to political differences, as government policies greatly affect businessmen, especially companies that deal with government contracts such as Tesla and SpaceX, which work in sensitive fields.
He stressed that the United States is a very competitive environment, and may sometimes witness political score-settling, although it is often indirect. These settle- ments take the form of changes in legislation or financing policies.
Despite this, these actions are subject to institutional control, and it is difficult for the settling of scores to be public, according to Al-Natour, who reported that some officials, such as Vice President Camilla Harris, may avoid direct confrontation with prominent businessmen such as Musk, but they may take policies that affect their companies.

In the event that the political orientation in the United States changes.” This may have a direct impact on the ability of these companies to adapt to new laws or maintain the government contracts on which they depend.
