President Donald Trump said a New York Times story reporting that Elon Musk will be briefed at the Pentagon on U.S. military plans for a potential war with China is “fake news” and “completely untrue.”
The report, which cited multiple anonymous U.S. officials, said Musk would be given a presentation of the plans by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other top U.S. military leaders including Adm. Christopher W. Grady, the acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
