Elon Musk's Pentagon Meeting Focused on Innovation, Not Military Plans

The Pentagon and President Trump deny reports of Musk being briefed on classified war plans with China, emphasizing the meeting's informal nature and non-sensitive agenda.

The New York Times initially reported that Elon Musk was scheduled to be briefed on U.S. military plans for a potential war with China, a claim denied by the Pentagon and President Trump.
Pentagon officials confirmed that the meeting with Musk focused on innovation and cost-cutting, with no classified military plans discussed.
Elon Musk dismissed the New York Times report as 'pure propaganda' and threatened action against Pentagon employees allegedly responsible for leaks.
The Wall Street Journal corroborated that Musk was originally expected to attend a briefing on military plans, but the agenda was later shifted to non-classified topics.
Concerns persist over Musk's growing influence in government operations and potential conflicts of interest due to his business ties in China and role as a government contractor.
