"In internal cables, State Department officials have said they are eager to help Musk get ahead of foreign satellite companies. ... Senior diplomats have written that they hope to give Musk's company a 'first-mover advantage.'"
“If this was done by another country, we absolutely would call this corruption,” said Kristofer Harrison, who served as a high-level State Department official in the George W. Bush administration. “Because it is corruption.”
