And compromised chicom equipment last. Huawei was built on the wreakage of Nortel a US company that was stripped dry by chicom IP theft. The same stupid republican/democrat corruption that allowed the chicoms to control 90% of US pharmaceutical production was being paid off to allow the chicoms to control our communication hardware. So, the stupid narcissist Idiot Trump could figure it out. So, now we have Bought and Paid for Slo Joe about to start batting for the away team.

FCC orders US telecom companies to rip out Huawei equipmentUS carriers and telecommunications companies receiving Universal Service funding are now required to remove all Huawei technology, by order of the federal government.
The US Federal Communications Commission has ordered certain carriers to "rip and replace" all equipment produced by Huawei. It follows continuing investigations into claims that Huawei represents a threat to national security, and Huawei's application for a review of a similar ruling by the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau in June.
"A laundry list of evidence before us compels this result," said FCC chairman Ajit Pal in a statement. "But to summarize some of the main points, Huawei has a long and well-documented history of close ties to the Chinese military and intelligence communities, as well as the Chinese Communist Party, at every level of the company— all the way up to its founder."
"Huawei is subject to sweeping Chinese intelligence laws compelling Huawei's assistance and cooperation with Chinese intelligence services and forbidding the disclosure of that assistance," he continued. "Moreover, the concerns about Huawei aren't just hypothetical: Independent entities have identified numerous security vulnerabilities in Huawei equipment and found it to be less secure than that of other companies— perhaps deliberately so."
While the FCC is yet to name any specific carriers who are so ordered, they are any who have been receiving money from the Universal Service Fund. This is a subsidy program worth $8.3 billion annually, and intended to help telecommunications firms expand access to internet and cell phones across the US.

Not sure why - but Elon smokes dope and talks shit so why not?
He's not very good at smoking dope. Don't twist.
The largest swap I’m aware of is a portion of Comcast’s residential VoIP system.
It’s something but not as broad as it’s implied.
I do have second person knowledge of this “alleged” Nortel espionage. But Huawei has been doing this for decades. Huawei switches had the same documentation and code comments as Cisco.
