Although I don't like it, I'm not going to blame Musk for doing what he has to do to continue propping up, growing etc. Tesla. At this point, Tesla doing well is also good & strategic for the US.
But I can see a time in the next 5-10 years where Chinese (and US) competitors are much closer on true EVs, and the US is well on its Infrastructure push, and so much closer to reduced dependence on ME heavy crude. At that time, hopefully the US won't need Tesla near as much to lead the way.

Elon Musk met with China’s Foreign Minister Qin Gang on Tuesday as Beijing pushed to show it is open to foreign business and the Tesla CEO reportedly signaled further expansion in China.
The meeting between Musk and Qin comes at a time of continued tensions between the U.S. and China over technology.
Tesla opposes “decoupling” and is willing to continue to expand its business in China, according to a statement from the Chinese foreign ministry.
