SpaceX lawyers have advised executives against pursuing higher security clearances for Elon Musk, citing his foreign contacts and alleged drug use, which could jeopardize his current clearance.
Musk holds a 'top secret' clearance, allowing him access to some national security information, but he does not have the full clearance required for employees working on classified programs.
By seeking a higher clearance, Musk risks losing his current 'top secret' status, and SpaceX lawyers are concerned about the scrutiny his drug use might invite.
With his recent appointment to the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk's prior clearance difficulties may become negligible, allowing him potentially greater access to classified information.
