Trump: reports "absolutely false", Musk uninformed about secret plan regarding China
Kyiv • UNN
Donald Trump has denied media reports that Elon Musk was familiarized with a secret war plan with China. He called the NYT information false, and Musk uninformed.
US President Donald Trump has denied media reports that his adviser, billionaire businessman Elon Musk, was briefed on a secret plan in the event of a war with China.
UNN reports with reference to the page of the head of the White House in the Truth Social network.
Fake news: "Musk will be briefed by the Pentagon on top-secret US plans against China in the event of war," the US president said. Musk was not briefed "on anything with China," he wrote in the post.
The FALSE premise of this story is that because Elon has some business in China, he is very conflicted and will immediately go to senior Chinese officials and "tell everything he knows."
He noted that the "absolutely absurd and untrue story" from the NYT was immediately picked up by CNN and, according to Trump, "started to spin it to the fullest extent."
Fortunately, no one was watching!
Context
The New York Times reported that on Friday, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Christopher Grady, and Commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command Samuel Paparo were supposed to organize a briefing for Musk and present him with details of a military plan, which includes countering China in the event of a military conflict with China. In particular, tactical plans for the Navy and targets.
Later, Elon Musk threatened Pentagon employees with responsibility for leaking information about his access to classified data on US plans in the event of a conflict with China. Musk warned that those responsible would be found.
