Elon Musk's social media posts helped The New York Times win its fight to secure a list detailing the billionaire's top-secret security clearances after a US agency tried to block the disclosures by claiming that Musk had a right to privacy.

In an opinion issued Wednesday, US District Judge Denise Cote said that in publicly discussing his security clearances on X—as well as his drug use and foreign contacts—Musk tipped the balance so that the public's substantial interest in the list the NYT sought clearly outweighed "any privacy interest" Musk may have.

Any regular person who needs security clearance for work feels like they are walking on eggshells if they smoked weed in the past two years when they apply for it and are technically committing a federal crime if they haven’t abstained from basically everything besides nicotine and alcohol. Elon Musk getting TS while talking about recreational drug use on twitter, he might as well be rubbing his penis on the face of every American, but this country is so cucked every citizen might as well be begging for the next turn.
