Musk and SpaceX allegedly violated national security rules

According to the New York Times, federal agencies have launched at least three investigations to determine whether SpaceX and Elon Musk have complied with reporting protocols designed to protect state secrets.

These investigations involve omissions concerning Elon Musk’s meetings with foreign executives, as well as the reasons for these meetings.

This year, the Department of Defense’s Office of Inspector General, the U.S. Air Force and the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security each launched separate investigations into the SpaceX owner.

According to the New York Times, the U.S. Air Force also recently denied Elon Musk access to a high level of security.

These concerns are based on potential security risks, a concern shared by several allied nations who fear the disclosure of sensitive information to third parties.

To obtain a high-level security clearance, Elon Musk is required to provide the Department of Defense with detailed information about his private life.

This includes the full itinerary of his foreign trips as well as details of his meetings with foreign leaders.

Elon Musk and his team at SpaceX are subject to a strict protocol known as “continuous vetting”.

This system is designed to constantly monitor and evaluate individuals with access to sensitive information.

Since 2021, Elon Musk has reportedly not complied with the reporting requirements required for these security clearances.

He also allegedly refused to provide information on his use of medication, which is mandatory in this context.
