https://futurism.com/elon-musk-investigated-violating-terms-top-secret-clearanceThat'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.
There are MANY great articles at Futurism, and I encourage others to post them.

(17,630 posts)This is what electing a democratic president was supposed to protect us from. And exposing Elon would have exposed the whole russian influence operation in an undeniable, loud way.
Why are we just learning about this now?
This sort of explains why Elon thought he was going to jail if kamala got elected.

It's as if they assumed there was no emergency, they would get to it eventually after Biden is re-elected.

Very interesting reading, thanks. I always suspected that growing up in apartheid South Africa had something to do with some of his views on things like race. I see I was not wrong!

(22,882 posts)Holland is one of the most liberal countries in northern Europe (which means it's one of the most liberal in the world). The Afrikaners of South Africa originally came from Holland a long time ago, but the country evolved in very different ways from the country they came from. Among other things, they are the folks who gave the world apartheid.

(12,189 posts)I found that Dec 17th article in the NYTs and it was lengthy. Had to read a couple paragraphs twice. Same as Trump, Musk gets away with crimes all over the place, where you or I would be hauled in and convicted. Of course, the US Government will not enforce it's on laws, and in Musk's case, which are against our National Security! The more I read these days, the less secure I feel!

the idea that we could have any state secrets remaining seems kind of old fashioned since the mar a lago "gestapo attack" or whatever they call the routine execution of a search warrant.
