"Elon Musk and his rocket company, SpaceX, have repeatedly failed to comply with federal reporting protocols aimed at protecting state secrets, including by not providing some details of his meetings with foreign leaders"

Elmo, just because you’re best buddies with the orange menace, doesn’t mean that you have to disregard rules and regs. This will catch up to you at some point.
Of course they have. His own SpaceX employees got fired when they complained about his lack of compliance; what do we think will happen to federal employees who try to keep him in line? Or will they just let him slide from preemptive fear of being fired?
If you read the article, he also regularly popped into some SpaceX meetings where he did not have the required clearance. A person who oversaw this complained, then was promptly fired
It’s what they do. Because nobody can do anything about it. Breaking rules and norms (as rude children) is their thing, their way of showing power against the “system”
is there anyone who is capable of doing anything? Leaders are supposed to have morality and ethics at the forefront of their minds, not money and profits. our leaders are morally/ethically bankrupt, so who is there to guide the populist/the people in direction of morality?
This is just not news. We have known this was an unsafe man baby pretending to be an innovator. Leon is a foul disgusting evil man playing games with our civil society. DEPORT this asshole before he talks dump into even worse shit.
And so the corruption — with serious national security implications no less — begins. Musk and Trump will call our most important Federal reporting protocols (to protect state secrets) just another facet of “the deep state.” And the media will report it like a horse race. 🤷♂️
they break the rules and the govt says nothing. He should have been dropped from the contract. soon all a moot point because under Trump everyone gets a top secret clearance. I hope there will be some mechanism next year on tracking our classified info. Scary thought he will have access again. 😬
I dream of a day when Musk will actually be held legally and financially liable to the crimes and damage he's doing to the rule of law, the environment, and, America really.
Well 🍊 has already said he will do away with reporting once he takes office. So I’m sure all this will go away and there will be zero accountability - like always. If you’re rich enough the rules don’t apply.
Yep!! I heard about these issues. Musk should not be anywhere near our Govt - esp Trump! He would do anything for his $$$. Major conflicts of interest! This is oligarchic, & authoritarian already. Ahhh. I prayed so hard that he'd lose..
"Some SpaceX workers have become concerned about Mr. Musk’s ability to handle sensitive information, especially as he posts openly on X about everything from video games to diplomatic meetings, the people said." Wondering about his future role in Trump's administration.
Living next to Vandenberg SFB, we had a lovely wake up call this morning at 5:20 a.m.😏 We get the launch roar/rumble. Santa Barbara, Montecito (hi Oprah!), & Ventura get to hear the sonic boom with just about every launch. They plan to launch 100+ a year. https://www.edhat.com/news/early-morning-rocket-launch-wakes-up-santa-barbara-county/
Some of the SpaceX launches from Vandenberg Space Force Base have the first stage rocket return to the launch pad. On re-entry of the launch rocket we get the boom.
So, what now? Now that we are the land of the oligarchy and the filthy rich untaxed interlopers where the rule of law applies only to the poor and the non-white? Who’s going to check him?
Why am I the only person wondering WHY a Gov't contractor is not being investigated for the EXTREMELY low hanging fruit regulation that PROHIBITS Gov't contractors for engaging with federal political activities and specifically bans them from promoting/donating to ANY political candidate? 🚨🚨🙄🙄👀👀
Exactly!!! I've been wondering same damn thing! And very upset, that no one in current Admin is saying or doing anything about this!!? Or, could some lawyers be looking into this, and it takes time? I mean, I doubt this has ever happened before!! This is preposterous!!
😆 I work in government procurement and contracts. He's delinquent for over 2 years of continuous top secret vetting. All Space X contracts should have been terminated with cause.
I may not be the only one but I don't see or hear anyone from Congress, Senate, or press specifically addressing this. I pulled up verbatim language from a Gov't website to this effect. My head explodes. 🙄
This is BEYOND reckless! Space Cadet Musk’s blatant disregard for national security is a DANGER to our country. He’s supposed to be a leader in innovation, but instead, he’s a liability to America. At this point, he’s a bigger threat than Trump ever was. Time to hold him ACCOUNTABLE! NOW!
Yeah, once the president he paid for gets into office, there’ll be no more reporting protocols.
F*** this scoundrel. This miscreant. Bounder. Jive-assed Motherf***er.
He's not like us; he's exempt from following laws. They don't apply to him and everyone in Congress is too weak and pathetic to even do anything about it.
Carry on.🙄
Why wasn’t anyone reporting on this and his other obvious issues with his government contracts during the election?
Government contracts specifically prohibit the use of illegal drugs by contract participants. His automated driving software still doesn’t work. 20 years and he hasn’t left orbit.
He wants to throw out all regulations and constantly bad mouths the FAA. He’s an illegal immigrant that has no business being any where close to the Oval Office.
More than anything, 2024 will be notable as the year when all claims of having a system where everyone is equal before the law, was finally established as fiction.
I have opinion on that. The “system” ever having a “core value” of everyone equal before the law has been, is now, and ever shall be, aspirational. Fortune (luck), mentorship, family/clan connections, race, sociological categorizations, Hell; even food I think are like 85% (?) of the determinants.
He's "special" the rules are no more for him than trump! His mommy is all over TV saying so! This government best get on the move before Leon owns us all!

We are all his hostages are we not.
The people who are supposed to ENFORCE THE RULES
are the same people who are IN ON IT
The US is now an OLIGARCHY
Alas, a dream is all it will be...
I wanna say this to you Musk we got agents everywhere as soon as we spot you we are gonna send our armies out to hound your ass
Roll back time close to 100 years ago in the 1930's and all of this is eerily similar to the Business Plot aka The Wall Street Putsch.
Evil in our history & yet now, it takes root.
I haven’t heard a sonic boom in the decades sinse.
I don't know what else they need to see to get these investigations going and resolve some problems Musk is causing.
It will get worse.
Like donnie.
That's the question
F*** this scoundrel. This miscreant. Bounder. Jive-assed Motherf***er.
Carry on.🙄
Government contracts specifically prohibit the use of illegal drugs by contract participants. His automated driving software still doesn’t work. 20 years and he hasn’t left orbit.
But I am sure the incoming powers that be, with whom you seek succor, won't give a shit about your compliance in advance.
FELON
Musk is a Security Threat to the United States.
He is taking the piss
