ChainCatcher reported that the New York Times reported on the 17th that Space Exploration Technologies Corporation and its founder Elon Musk have repeatedly violated federal reporting agreements designed to protect state secrets, including not providing some details of his meetings with foreign leaders, which has attracted military scrutiny.
The report cited a large number of anonymous sources saying that the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Defense, the Office of the Undersecretary for Intelligence and Security, and the U.S. Air Force have launched a review of Musk's confidential security issues this year. The U.S. Air Force recently refused to give Musk high-level security access rights, citing possible security risks, and some countries, including Israel, have also expressed concerns that he may share sensitive data with other countries.
According to reports, SpaceX is one of the main contractors for the Department of Defense and NASA, and Musk holds the highest level of security clearance at the company, allowing him access to classified materials such as advanced U.S. military technology. Under government confidentiality regulations, Musk is required to report details about his private life, foreign travels, and other information to the Department of Defense, but he has not complied with these reporting requirements since at least 2021.
