WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Elon Musk and SpaceX face at least three federal reviews over whether they have complied with federal reporting rules aimed at protecting national security, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.

Citing people with knowledge of the rocket company and internal documents, the newspaper reported reviews were initiated by the Air Force, the Defense Department's inspector general and the undersecretary of defense for intelligence and security.
