Summary
Israel and other US allies are reportedly concerned Elon Musk may pose a security risk, fearing he could share sensitive information.
These concerns arose amid at least three federal security reviews into Musk and SpaceX for failing to comply with protocols protecting national security.
The US Air Force recently denied Musk high-security clearance, and Israel’s Defense Ministry labeled him a “wild card” during discussions about his Starlink network.
Musk’s contacts with foreign leaders, including calls with Vladimir Putin, and past controversies have heightened scrutiny over his actions and potential risks.
As compared to all the trustworthy individuals running other social media sites?
Not the point and that’s a shit take
lol yeah possibly the worst whataboutism I’ve seen in a long time, arguing which social media billionaire is the worst as an argument in support of one social media billionaire
Yeah the other ones support Israeli genocide but we don’t know if musk will, so now this is an “issue”
My point is that people are far too apathetic about these things. Yes it’s a problem on X, but I’d sure love to see people recognize the same problems elsewhere instead of spreading their legs for anyone who mumbles vague platitudes towards their own pet issues.
