Elon Musk’s security clearance is under review after he smoked pot, source says
SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk has refiled a security form that requires a federal contractor seeking a clearance to acknowledge illegal drug use, a U.S. official said. SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk’s Pentagon security clearance is under review after he infamously smoked marijuana live on YouTube in September, according to a U.S. official. Musk’s “adjudication” review by the Defense Security Service continues with no decision yet, the U.S. official said. About two months after Musk smoked pot on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast on YouTube, NASA said it would conduct a safety review of Hawthorne-based SpaceX and another of its contractors, aerospace giant Boeing Co., to “ensure the companies are meeting NASA’s requirements for workplace safety, including the adherence to a drug-free environment.” The Washington Post reported that NASA’s safety review was spurred by Musk’s pot-smoking on the podcast.
