Trump and Pentagon Deny Reports of Musk Briefing on U.S.-China War Plans

Elon Musk's Pentagon visit is officially described as focusing on innovation and efficiencies, with Trump and officials rejecting claims of a military strategy briefing.

The New York Times reported Musk would be briefed on top-secret U.S. military plans for a potential conflict with China, citing anonymous officials.
President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have strongly denied the report, stating the meeting will not involve China or military plans.
Pentagon officials confirmed Musk's visit but described it as an informal meeting about innovation and government efficiency improvements.
Musk, who leads the Department of Government Efficiency, has threatened legal action against Pentagon leakers, calling the claims 'maliciously false.'
The controversy has reignited concerns over Musk's dual roles in government and private business, particularly his ties to China through Tesla and SpaceX.
