President Donald Trump was blinded by the news that Elon Musk would be informed of secret plans for a potential war with China at Pentagon in March, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.
The newspaper reported on Friday that Trump was “unhappy” when he discovered that Musk was about to obtain the briefing and “frustrated” that he had not received a notice, in particular given the commercial interests of Musk in the region.
The White House did not immediately respond to the request for comments from the daily beast on the Newspaperreport.
The news of the planned briefing burst before the Musk’s meeting with the defense secretary Pete Hegseth, triggering the outcry by the president’s criticism, who stressed Musk’s affairs in China as a major conflict of interest.
The reports have changed what the two men really discussed. Despite China still, the conversation has included any classified information.
Although Trump publicly rejected the report as “false news” and stated that there had never been a plan for Musk to be informed of a war plan in China, in camera, it was upset to have been caught.
Musk, who would have asked for the briefing itself, at the time rejected the report as a “pure propaganda”, but in the same breath threatened “prosecution” against this information fleeing to the press.
Musk is a technological billionaire that Trump has exploited to reduce waste and fraud of federal spending. However, its bonding approach to reduce thousands of federal jobs even equaled the initiates of the White House. Trump would have told his office that Musk would leave his post at the top of Doge in the coming weeks.
By maintaining an informal advisory role in the White House, the richest man in the world should return a large part of his goal of the companies he owns, such as Tesla, X and SpaceX.
In the middle of the return of Musk’s movements to Doge, with its attention apparently occupied by politics, Tesla’s course of action fell, angry with some of its investors.
