Don’t they need security clearances to do this?
- FranzFerdiNaN 2y agoKing Trump says they dont.
- delecti 2y agoLegally, probably. But in the US, "legally" is enforced by the executive, and that's who's telling them to comply.
- lesuorac 2y agoTo be clear, Security Clearances is just an EO thing. The actual laws just speak about things being critical to national security and don't use the words like "Top Secret" and etc. The whole actually labeling things "Top Secret" and etc started off with Clinton [1] but then Bush [2] and Obama [3] modified the rules around classification.

- cryptonector 2y ago"Top Secret" goes back a long ways, to before WWII I believe.
- imperial_march 2y agoThey do. Elon already had top secret due to NASA/military work. The rest were authorised/given clearance for the work.
- goshx 2y agoIn a matter of days?
- cryptonector 2y agoWho says they don't have them? Elon Musk certainly does.
- goshx 2y agoI highly doubt they do due to the time Trump has been in government and the speed they had access to the systems and data.
