High on Drugs? Elon Musk Will Barr From Entering Certain SpaceX Buildings

Elon Musk’s SpaceX executives have reportedly advised him against pursuing higher security clearances, citing potential risks of revocation due to allegations of drug use and connections with foreign powers

Musk's lawyers informed SpaceX’s directors that applying for a higher security clearance could result in an examination of Musk’s way of life

Musk’s current clearance status is “top secret, "and it took him “years” to access, but it only grants him partial access to SpaceX’s government-related projects

During an October town hall meeting, Musk remarked, “Most of the stuff that I’m aware of...the reason to keep it top secret is it’s so boring”

The Wall Street Journal has also reported allegations that Musk has had multiple contacts with Russian President Vladimir Putin since 2022 

SpaceX has denied these claims, calling the reports of Putin’s involvement “misleading” and “unsubstantiated”

 NASA Administrator Bill Nelson expressed concern over these allegations, stating they would be “concerning” if proven true

Currently, Musk’s clearance allows him to access certain US Department of Defense facilities and projects but restricts him from viewing “sensitive compartmented information"

 He also cannot gain access to some of SpaceX’s payload info, and military and intelligence satellites are among them

The Journal also adds that if Musk wanted to gain greater access in Russia, he would require providing further material about relations with Putin and drug use
