Is Elon Musk a National Security Risk?

Published On Dec 18, 2024, 8:03 AM

Elon Musk is facing growing scrutiny over national security regulations due to non-compliance with security clearance rules at SpaceX. As he has influential ties to President-elect Donald Trump, this scrutiny arises from concerns about Musk's foreign interactions and his openness about personal issues such as drug use. Multiple reviews are underway, although there have been no accusations of disclosing classified information.
