Summary
Donald Trump was reportedly “unhappy” and “frustrated” after learning Elon Musk would be briefed at the Pentagon in March on secret U.S. war plans involving China.
The meeting, initially planned to include classified content, was scaled back after public backlash over Musk’s business ties to China.
Though Trump dismissed the reports as “fake news,” insiders say he was upset about being blindsided.
Musk, who requested the briefing, called the coverage “propaganda” and threatened prosecution over leaks.
This has to be fake. Since when does Trump care about conflicts of interest?
When the conflicts don’t benefit him?
He’s on Musk’s payroll, conflicts of interest that benefit Musk do benefit Trump, so I think it’s rather that he only cares when they make him look bad.
