    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.
