High Stakes: Pentagon Reviewing Elon Musk’s Security Clearance Over Weed Stunt

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk might have bit off more than he could smoke when he took a drag of Joe Rogan’s blunt last year.

According to Bloomberg, the toke could potentially cost him his access to top-secret government information.

A U.S. official told Bloomberg that the Pentagon is currently reviewing Musk’s federal security clearance. When applying for the secret-level access, a federal employee or a contractor must list any illegal drugs they’ve used in the past seven years. While weed is legal in several states, it’s still a federal crime to use or possess it.

Musk holds the top-level security clearance because his company, SpaceX, is authorized to launch military satellites.

  1. Did he also hug an american flag and babble like and idiot for two hours, while a bunch of glazed-eyed morons giggled and applauded?

    Did he follow all this up with some fast food?

    Does he seem constantly paranoid and incoherent?

    These are all signs of dangerous reefer addicts who should be nowhere near secure information. Read all about it in this pamphlet, “Is your President a Toking Johnny?” by Dr. Mueller.

  2. Ah… but Jared and Ivanka get security clearances over the objection of career professionals who evaluate such things, the WH counsel, and the WH Chief of Staff because DADDY WANTS IT.

  3. Musk is a mess. He is another wealthy white male white-collar criminal using tweets to manipulate the market and costing investors billions of dollars, but all he gets is a slap on the wrist from the SEC.

    Meanwhile, people are sitting in prison for decades for smoking a joint.

    No democracy, no justice.

  4. When applying for the secret-level access, a federal employee or a contractor must list any illegal drugs they’ve used in the past seven years.

    I think we all know you’re allowed to amend these forms up to many many, times .

    Yo spleef, no grief

  5. I think they’re called Kushner Amendments.
