Musk's Pentagon Visit Sparks Controversy, Legal Threats

President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denied reports that Elon Musk was briefed on top-secret U.S. war plans with China during his visit to the Pentagon. The New York Times had claimed Musk would receive classified information, prompting Trump to clarify that Musk's meeting focused on innovation and cost-cutting initiatives, not military strategies. Musk, whose business interests in China have raised concerns, strongly refuted the NYT report, calling it 'pure propaganda' and threatened legal action against those responsible for the leaks. Hegseth reiterated that no war plans were discussed, emphasizing the meeting's agenda on government efficiency. Trump's comments highlighted potential conflicts of interest due to Musk's ties with China, despite acknowledging Musk's contributions to U.S. government efficiency efforts.
