During the night, the news came that Elon Musk was invited to a top secret meeting on the US war plans with China.
Now Musk strikes back and dismisses the news as “false information”, while expressing himself threatening to the Pentagon leaks.
“They will be found,” he writes on X.
Both the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal reported tonight that Elon Musk would get a briefing about “very sensitive military plans” for a possible war with China.
The information came from several anonymous sources within the Pentagon, who stated that Musk would appear at the Ministry of Defense during Friday at the invitation of Defense Minister Pete Hagseth.
But according to Musk, it is all just one invention.
“The New York Times is pure propaganda. In addition, I look forward to the prosecution against those on the Pentagon who will deliciously delicious false information to Nyt. They will be found,” he writes at X early Friday morning.
Trump: “How ridiculous?”
Donald Trump also dismisses the information as “completely false”.
“The fake news is up and running again, this time it is failed New York Times. They mistakenly claim that Elon Musk is going to Pentagon to be informed of any” War with China “. How ridiculous?”, He writes at Truth Social.
Pete Hagseth confirms that Musk is going to the Pentagon for a meeting, but of a different nature.
“This is not a meeting on” top secret China plans “. It is an informal meeting about innovation, efficiency and smarter production,” he writes at X.
Musk’s double interests
According to Newsweek, the US military has longer planned for a potential war with China as a result of the Taiwan conflict, which has been intensified in recent years.
China sees the self -governing democracy Taiwan as part of its own territory, and experts believe that Beijing will one day try to take over the island militarily if you cannot do it politically. Then it is possible for the United States to intervene.
Elon Musk’s interests border on both sides. On the one hand, his commercial interests in China would suffer if the United States would declare war on China. On the other hand, his SpaceX companies would be benefited from Pentagon’s investments in the defense, Newsweek writes.
