Elon Musk and his rocket company, SpaceX, have repeatedly failed to comply with federal reporting protocols aimed at protecting state secrets, including by not providing some details of his meetings with foreign leaders, according to people with knowledge of the company and internal documents.
Concerns about the reporting practices — and particularly about Mr. Musk, who is SpaceX’s chief executive — have triggered at least three federal reviews, eight people with knowledge of the efforts said. The Defense Department’s Office of Inspector General opened a review into the matter this year, and the Air Force and the Pentagon’s Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security separately initiated reviews last month.
The Air Force also recently denied Mr. Musk a high-level security access, citing potential security risks associated with the billionaire. Several allied nations, including Israel, have also expressed concerns that he could share sensitive data with others, according to defense officials.

Mark Robinson logs in to state meeting as ‘minisoldr,’ the handle at the center of CNN allegations
The username ‘minisoldr’ became famous in September, when CNN reported allegations that Robinson used the moniker to post messages on a pornographic website. Robinson, who is suing the network for defamation, says he never made the posts.
A username at the center of allegations against Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson — claims by cable network CNN that he used the alias ‘minisoldr’ to make lewd and racist comments on a pornographic website more than a decade ago — popped up last week in a meeting over Gov.-elect Josh Stein’s inauguration.
Robinson, a Republican, lost to Stein in the November election by 15 percentage points. The loss came a little more than a month after CNN reported that Robinson used the online handle to post remarks on a website called Nude Africa, including purported comments in support of slavery and one declaring “I’m a Black Nazi.”
