Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk allegedly smoked a few puffs of cannabis ("weed") and drank whiskey with Joe Rogan during a live-streaming interview on the "Joe Rogan Show," which is a popular podcast hosted by former Fear Factor host and current Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) commentator, Joe Rogan.

SpaceX (and Boeing) have big contracts with NASA. This behavior prompted NASA executives to request a "safety review" of SpaceX (and Boeing).

What might this safety review entail? PepeTheFrog assumes at least some part of this review would be targeted towards any possible illegal drug use of contracted employees at SpaceX (and Boeing).

What FAR or NASA clauses would this review rely upon? If SpaceX or Boeing refuses, what could the government use to demand compliance?

Under which FAR clause would the safety review's initiation and execution be premised upon?

FAR Subpart 23.5, Drug-Free Workplace

FAR 52.223-6, Drug-Free Workplace

ABC News reported " (NASA) officials issued a press release this week saying they would be undertaking a “cultural assessment study” of commercial partners SpaceX and Boeing “to ensure the companies are meeting NASA’s requirements for workplace safety, including the adherence to a drug-free environment.”
