When Elon Musk first got involved in Donald Trump’s campaign after the assassination attempt, no one would have predicted just how involved he would become in the Trump administration. At times, Trump even made off-colour comments about the tech titan that suggested Musk might be a little too close for comfort. Now, a recent lawsuit demanding to know exactly what kind of clearances he was granted could inadvertently lead to Musk’s deportation.
The New York Times and journalist Neil Bedi filed a lawsuit against the United States Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency after Musk made several tweets essentially bragging about his security clearances. The publication and journalist are demanding to know the full extent and scope of those clearances, arguing that the information is of public interest.
