China’s DeepSeek ban begins in US—And it started in Elon Musk’s new home state

Texas becomes the first US state to ban the Chinese AI app DeepSeek, citing national security risks. The move follows concerns about data security, with fears that the Chinese government could access sensitive information stored in China. The ban is part of broader international scrutiny, as other nations, including Italy, Taiwan, and Australia, take similar actions. Texas Governor Greg Abbotts order comes as the state becomes home to Elon Musks SpaceX headquarters, further elevating its status in the global tech landscape.
