The Pentagon is scheduled on Friday to brief Elon Musk on the U.S. military’s plan for any war that might break out with China, two U.S. officials said on Thursday.
Another official said the briefing will be China focused, without providing additional details. A fourth official confirmed Mr. Musk was to be at the Pentagon on Friday, but offered no details.

This is great. Now he’ll be able to use giving the plans to Xi as a bargaining chip for a couple more tesla factories in China.
We the people need to put an end to this madness now! South Korea did it!
“You’re gambling with World War Three!” yelled Trump to his guest, the president of Ukraine, without any sign of irony.
If war with China happens I am 100% defecting to China lol. I have absolutely zero love or respect for my shithole country.
Lol my dad said trump was the best choice for avoiding ww3. Lmao even.
Does this unelected twat even have security clearance?
Of course he does! Remember when Jared was denied clearance and trump overrode it?
Are you assuming laws, security, and allegiance to the USA exists right now?
What’s the plan? To bomb china with Teslas?
To share top secret intelligence with China.
He’s not holding any cards right now. Trump made him a tough guy. He’s gambling with World War 3.
Wait, sounds… Nah forget it.
Well if course, he is the president
Musk is the CEO of the United Corporations of America and Trump is the Chairman of the board.
I don’t understand the fuss, aren’t they just stored in some toilet in the white house?
We have deranged psychopaths in charge of the US. We really are going to have WW3 soon aren’t we
i have multiple layers of questions about why i am seeing a headline like this
I know it’s just… where to start.
Holy fuck he is really going to start WW3
only if its profitable
War is always profitable. Especially if you don’t plan to ever fix damage to your country.
Luckily I don’t think Tesla-made tanks, jets and rifles will put up much of a fight on the battlefield.
The profit comes from SpaceX and Starlink.
Kamikaze
Yeah, ever see that picture of the outline of a kamikaze plane burnt onto the side of an otherwise intact destroyer?
What security clearance does that clown have? And why?
It has likely changed since I last checked before his presidency, but he had a Top Secret Clearance with NO SCI.
I knew he had admitted to actively using drugs a few times and I wondered how he held an active security clearance. What I could find was essentially: SpaceX was the best option for the US government to conduct satellite-based intelligence missions, as in launch satellites into orbit for the purpose of Space Force related surveillance.
To that end they waived a lot of sketchy shit on Elon’s background to give him a TS so he could primarily attend and give briefings, but no SCI as he didn’t actually do any work requiring it.
Source: I wish I could fucking find any now, but there’s a flood of thousands of article talking about his security clearance as a presidential advisor now.
According to Musk’s Twitter account, he has a top secret clearance and apparently some sort of compartmentalized clearances.

I’ve had a top secret clearance for many years and have clearances that themselves are classified.
That said, FAR too much information is made “classified”. If something is easily found online or patently obvious, it should NOT be classified. This impedes effective communication within the government.
Jesus’s Christ, why does he have clearance??? And has for so long??? Oh god this is awful
Agreed, in my early 20’s I applied for a job with the TSA. After passing the interview I had to take a test to determine if I was fit for the job, before I could take the test I had to be cleared for confidential clearance. So even though I didn’t pass the test, and didn’t get the job, I had a low level government clearance and an NDA that kept me from disclosing what I saw.
Funny enough that clearance did come in handy when I had to get an FBI background check to work at the airport doing line service, the guy who did the paperwork was shocked at how fast my paperwork was given the all clear.
Dictatorships don’t need such things, and Elon is the heir apparent to Trump…
I wonder what jd will do when Trump dies and elon takes over.
I wonder what Trump will do if Elon dies and he has to take over.
Cry to the nearest couch in a sad attempt to get some pity sex?
He’s probably had a security clearance for a while now due to his involvement in space x
Not necessarily. Their are directors at my work that don’t have any clearances.
Why
I feel like i repeat this to myself 20 times a day. I can’t stand this administration.
I know it’s just awful. If it was a tv show it would be seen as unrealistic but its actually happening.
Because no one’s stopped him.
Trump was trying to get China to attack to initiate martial law in 2021. He’s probably trying to start a war to initiate martial law now.
Well clearly we haven’t been efficient enough in starting conflicts with China. We need to find ways to hurt our trade with them even further
