Elon Musk's security clearance is reportedly under review by the Pentagon

Musk resubmitted his security clearance application, called an SF-86, to Department of Defense officials after he smoked marijuana during an appearance on the podcast and YouTube show"Joe Rogan Experience" in September 2018, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing an unnamed US official.

Social media users have widely mocked reports that federal officials were concerned about Musk apparently taking a hit of pot. Recreational marijuana use is legal in at least 10 states and the nation's capital, Washington, DC, but it remains illegal under federal law.

Review the trump family starting withdaddy and his unsecured cell phone and incessant Twitter BS!

No Russian Collusion claim can ever be considered too ridiculous.

But anyone can get security clearance in this trump administration. Oh wait. You have to be related to the President.

He may get the Acosta treatment

this story made me LOL watching Musk take one hit off a blunt=freak out. watch Obama party in the WH w rappers who told stories of smoking dope IN the WH during his parties and POTUS didn't have a problem w his security clearance... please

Smoking a J will get you revoked, but openly dealing with foreign governments is OK?

Tesla fail

I think it's time we review the Pentagon's security clearance.chances are they've been bought and paid for just like the congressmen and senators

fail

they smelled danger from elon's musk

Elon Musk doesn't smoke pot... He would probably test positive for LSD. Microdosing is a big thing with the silicon valley billionaire crowd.

He didn’t inhale

Reportedly because he SMOKED A LITTLE POT. Jesus murphy, the USA can be an incomprehensibly silly place.

“federal officials were concerned about Musk apparently taking a hit of pot.” really, that’s it?

I wonder if Trump will push his application through 🤦🏼‍♀️. I’m sure Musk is less likely for a foreign advisory to buy him 🤨

If Jared and Ivank can get, I don't see how Musk won't.

But Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have clearances... And Jared is sharing information with MbS in Saudi Arabia. Makes me want to vomit.

tfw they're just upping his clearance

Why Elon Musk Should List Tesla Shares In GermanyInstead of taking Tesla private, Elon should list Tesla in Germany. In Germany he can have regulatory carte blanche, and can tweet anything he wants with no retribution – no matter how fraudulent. Moreover, short sellers and press critics would likely be investigated the moment they speak out. Because the Germany govt hasn't drunk as much laissez-faire cool aid.
