Elon Musk Being Investigated for Violating Terms of "Top Secret" Clearance [View all]
https://futurism.com/elon-musk-investigated-violating-terms-top-secret-clearanceAccording to a shocking report by the New York Times, the mercurial entrepreneur is being investigated by the Defense Department’s Office of Inspector General, the Air Force, and the Pentagon's Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security.
That's because his space company has reportedly "repeatedly failed to comply with federal reporting protocols aimed at protecting state secrets" since at least 2021, which includes not disclosing Musk's frequent meetings with foreign leaders, most notably Russian president Vladimir Putin.
According to the report, Musk has been violating the rules set out by his "top secret" security clearance for years.
Musk was even denied high-level security access by the Air Force, according to the NYT's sources, and the Middle Eastern nation of Israel has expressed concerns that he could leak sensitive state secrets.
