Summary

Israel and other US allies are reportedly concerned Elon Musk may pose a security risk, fearing he could share sensitive information.

These concerns arose amid at least three federal security reviews into Musk and SpaceX for failing to comply with protocols protecting national security.

The US Air Force recently denied Musk high-security clearance, and Israel’s Defense Ministry labeled him a “wild card” during discussions about his Starlink network.

Musk’s contacts with foreign leaders, including calls with Vladimir Putin, and past controversies have heightened scrutiny over his actions and potential risks.

      My point is that people are far to apathetic about these things. Yes it’s a problem on X, but I’d sure love to see people recognize the same problems elsewhere instead of spreading their legs for anyone who mumbles vague platitudes towards their own pet issues.

      They “trust me,” dumb fucks
