How Has Musk Reacted To The China War Plan Briefing Report?

Musk shared a screenshot of Trump’s Truth post on X and attacked the New York Times, saying the paper was “pure propaganda.” Musk then appeared to threaten legal consequences against the anonymous Pentagon officials who spoke to the Times and wrote “I look forward to the prosecutions of those at the Pentagon who are leaking maliciously false information to NYT. They will be found.”

What Has The Pentagon Chief Said About The Report?

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed Musk’s Pentagon visit in an X post, saying: “We look forward to welcoming Elon Musk to the Pentagon tomorrow.” He also criticized the Times’ report, saying “fake news delivers again — this is NOT a meeting about “top secret China war plans.” It’s an informal meeting about innovation, efficiencies & smarter production.” It is unclear if Musk’s visit will focus on the billionaire’s controversial agenda with DOGE to dramatically slash federal government spending.
