>Clearance could be granted on a whim by POTUS

He can' (but shouldn't). But there's no word that was granted to Musk. Since, he didn't name them. He probably doesn't though, because he should not have been stopped at USAID with the right credentials. Unless...

we both know he didn't. If he does have clearance, his interns definitely don't. Hence the kerfluffle at USAID.
