I may be under thinking it, but it seems like there’s precisely one person that could make that call. I highly doubt an admin at SpaceX went rogue and even if it came from the military, you know it would have had to been approved by Musk.

    That person is the president actually. If musk did it before, it was at the behest of the president to take the heat for him, the US leases stargate or whatever it's called, they control it. Musk would be in breach of a contract with the US if they didn't ask him to do it, and that would be catastrophic for him if the US was opposed to it.
