Maybe it’s different when working for a company, but I’ve been self employed + worked in a foreign country under a tourist visa for 5 months. On arrival I was taken to an interview room for 5 mins to explain how I would fund my trip, explained I ran my own business working online, and once I confirmed I would not be working for a local company while there they were perfectly happy.

If you enter the USA with a tourist visa or visa waiver (like ESTA), and tell the immigration officer that this is what you’ll be doing in the country, you’ll most likely be sent back. Foreigners need work authorization in the US to earn any kind of income — no matter if it’s paid abroad — unless the work is within the narrow categories of permitted activities under a business visa.
