… and now in a position to make things even worse.
(excerpts) Elon Musk and his rocket company, SpaceX, have repeatedly failed to comply with federal reporting protocols aimed at protecting state secrets, including by not providing some details of his meetings with foreign leaders, according to people with knowledge of the company and internal documents.
The Air Force also recently denied Mr. Musk a high-level security access, citing potential security risks associated with the billionaire. Several allied nations, including Israel, have also expressed concerns that he could share sensitive data with others, according to defense officials.
Everyfuckingbody in Trump’s Cabinet—including him—must be denied security clearance. They are all for sale.
Would you use an e-mail service created by this guy?
Soon, nobody will say even a letter about it

Elon just helped kill the CR with no alternative to get funding past Friday. The government will shutdown Saturday at midnight.
“Those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.”
FAFO in action. This fucking manchild is apparently running our government now. This might wind up worse than I even imagined. Fuuuuuck…
The administration will have to prioritize expenditures during this time to only necessary spending.
That doesn’t include SpaceX.
If you think firing a Cybertruck into lunar orbit on 4/20 isn’t necessary spending and a national priority, I don’t know what to tell you.
If elon is in the driver’s seat, it absolutely is a national priority.
Trump wants to have his name on the desk but doesn’t actually want to do anything. Musk doesn’t care about being president but does want to break everything that hinders his looting. Turns out it’s a perfect match. 
I hope Elon cuts his security detail as much as he wants to cut the budget.
Talk about unnecessary spending.
SNAP food benefits: your benefits could run out shortly after the start of a shutdown. The Department of Agriculture is also authorized to send out SNAP benefits for only 30 days from the start of a shutdown, funding or no.
Especially when the idiot is (supposedly) the wealthiest person on earth.
How did they describe him at the Nuremberg, I mean Madison Square Rally?
“The greatest capitalist in the history of the United States of America.”
The adoration, the lack of historical knowledge and the phrasing says it all, really.
Accidentally stuck in the flatbed under the closed tonneau which is very, very tricky to open from the inside. But hey, stuff happens.
Why Musk Doesn’t Have Access to SpaceX’s Biggest Government Secrets
Executives haven’t sought higher security clearance for the CEO to avoid questions about his drug use and contact with foreign officials; the answers might no longer matter
