Elon Musk's 23-year-old staffer, Luke Farritor, has been granted access to the Department of Energy's IT system, raising concerns given his lack of standard background checks. This system includes sensitive areas managed by the National Nuclear Security Administration, responsible for nuclear arsenal security. Protests from the department’s legal and IT divisions highlight the risks of unvetted access. Despite the access being described as basic, the lack of rigorous vetting and the way it was granted by former Energy Secretary Chris Wright raises alarm over governance and security protocols in federal agencies.
"He's not cleared to be in DOE, on our systems. None of those things have been done."
