‘Unhappy’ Trump Shaken by Musk Briefing on Secret China War Plan

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.
