According to ChainCatcher, the New York Times reported on the 17th that SpaceX and its founder Elon Musk have repeatedly violated federal reporting agreements aimed at protecting national secrets, including failing to provide details of his meetings with foreign leaders, which has led to military scrutiny.

This report cites numerous anonymous sources stating that the Department of Defense's Office of Inspector General, the Deputy Secretary of Defense's office responsible for intelligence and security, and the U.S. Air Force have initiated reviews this year regarding Musk's classified security issues. The U.S. Air Force recently denied Musk high-level security access, citing potential security risks, with some countries, including Israel, expressing concerns that he may share sensitive data with other nations.

Reports indicate that SpaceX is one of the main contractors for the Department of Defense and NASA, and Musk holds a top-secret security clearance with the company, allowing him access to classified materials such as advanced U.S. military technology. According to government confidentiality regulations, Musk is required to report details about his private life, foreign travel, and other information to the Department of Defense, but he has not complied with these reporting requirements since at least 2021.
