The White House press secretary confirmed that Elon Musk is a special government employee but could not definitively state his security clearance status. Musk's recent appointment as director of the Department of Government Efficiency has raised questions about his access to federal information systems. He has been active in his role, attempting to cut government costs through various measures. While Musk's contributions to technology and space exploration are noted, uncertainty remains regarding the background checks applicable to his position, highlighting a potential gap in governmental transparency.
