'Why the hell did we do that?' Retired general raises alarm at Musk's government ties
Raw StoryFollowing up on a high-profile opinion piece he wrote for the New York Times calling billionaire Elon Musk a "national security risk," retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré wondered aloud on MSNBC how the U.S. government allowed itself to be put at the mercy of the billionaire. Speaking with "The Weekend" co-host Michael Steele, the man who was widely praised for his leadership in coordinating military relief efforts in gulf states after Hurricane Katrina, listed off the government's overly extensive reliance on the controversial wealthiest man in the world. "Well, right now, we never want to get into a single source of intelligence, a single source of communication," the retired general replied. "So, I don't know how the U.S. government –– we have the National Reconnaissance Office, we got Space Command, we got NASA," he detailed.
