Trump, Pentagon Reject Reports on Musk's China War Briefing

President Trump vehemently denied claims that Elon Musk was set to receive a Pentagon briefing on U.S. military plans regarding a potential conflict with China, labeling the reports from The New York Times as 'completely untrue'. He emphasized that 'China will not even be mentioned or discussed' during Musk's visit, which was focused on innovation and efficiencies rather than military strategies. Both Trump and Pentagon officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, dismissed the notion of a briefing on war plans, with Parnell calling it '100% Fake News'. Musk echoed this sentiment, criticizing The New York Times for what he described as malicious leaks and propaganda. The meeting reportedly included discussions on government innovation but did not involve classified military information. This incident raises questions about Musk's potential conflicts of interest given his business dealings in China.
