Elon Musk secretly ordered his engineers to turn off his company’s Starlink satellite communications network near the Crimean coast last year to disrupt a Ukrainian sneak attack on the Russian naval fleet, according to an excerpt adapted from Walter Isaacson’s new biography of the eccentric billionaire titled “Elon Musk.”
Elon Musk biographer admits suggestion SpaceX head blocked Ukraine drone attack was wrong:
Having Top Secret clearance doesn’t automatically give you access to all of the information. As you said, it’s still based off need to know, they arent just going to give him all military intelligence related to satellites, they will just give him the specific information they need him to act on.
No one is saying that the classification system doesn’t need some work. It’s just an incomparable situation, Musk isn’t going to have months of free reign to just peruse the systems as Jack did.
Counterintuitively it’s easier for low level employees to gain access to more, as they have to do more general work that necessitates broader access. In those cases extreme oversight measures should be used, and they were not.

Goddamn E3, equivalent to a damn Private First Class, of the National Guard had this level of access.
Come on man. Don’t downplay what Top Secret entails. The discord leak just happened a few months ago.
