Don’t they need security clearances to do this?

Legally, probably. But in the US, "legally" is enforced by the executive, and that's who's telling them to comply.

To be clear, Security Clearances is just an EO thing.

The actual laws just speak about things being critical to national security and don't use the words like "Top Secret" and etc.

The whole actually labeling things "Top Secret" and etc started off with Clinton [1] but then Bush [2] and Obama [3] modified the rules around classification.

		"Top Secret" goes back a long ways, to before WWII I believe.

Who says they don't have them? Elon Musk certainly does.

		I highly doubt they do due to the time Trump has been in government and the speed they had access to the systems and data.

They do. Elon already had top secret due to NASA/military work. The rest were authorised/given clearance for the work.
