Donald Trump and Elon Musk have fiercely denied a New York Times article claiming Elon was set to be briefed by the Pentagon on U.S. war plans against China. Both men slammed the report as completely fabricated and are now calling for a criminal investigation into the leak of classified information.
📰 NYT Claims: Elon Was Set to View Sensitive War Documents
The article alleged that Elon Musk was invited to the Pentagon for a high-level meeting, where he would be shown top-secret military plans, including possible war scenarios with China, strategic targets, and strike timelines. These documents were reportedly to be shown to Trump for approval afterward.
The report also raised concerns about Musk's business ties to China, citing his roles at Tesla and SpaceX, and hinted at a potential conflict of interest.
🗣️ Trump: “Total Fake News – China Wasn’t Even Mentioned!”
Trump responded swiftly and aggressively:
“More fake news from the failing New York Times. There’s no discussion of war with China – the entire story is a lie!”
He also took aim at outlets like CNN and reporter Maggie Haberman, accusing them of spreading falsehoods for years:
“They use fictional sources and distort the facts. They owe me a Pulitzer for bad reporting!”
💣 Elon: “NYT Is Pure Propaganda. I Look Forward to Prosecutions!”
Elon Musk backed Trump’s statement and declared:
“The New York Times is pure propaganda. I look forward to the prosecution of those in the Pentagon who maliciously leaked false information to NYT.”
The report mentioned that the meeting was to be held in the Pentagon’s “Tank” — a secure briefing room reserved for Joint Chiefs and the President.
⚔️ Pentagon First Silent, Then Changes the Narrative
While the White House and Pentagon initially declined to comment, later Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said:
“Elon Musk will visit the Pentagon on Friday at the invitation of Secretary Hegseth. He is a patriot and we’re proud to host him.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth added that the meeting was not about war, but an informal discussion on innovation and efficiency. However, The Wall Street Journal later confirmed that a briefing on military plans was indeed scheduled.
❓Why Would Elon Be Shown Classified War Plans?
The NYT article ended with more questions than answers:
Why was Elon given access to sensitive military data if he holds no government or military role?What was the true purpose of the meeting?And who leaked the story?
As Trump and Musk demand criminal charges for the leak, one question lingers: Was this truth—or carefully crafted propaganda?
