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.
“We are afraid that Elon Musk will blackmail us because he has intimate knowledge of our extensive crimes.”
