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.

      My guess is to rile up his base into supporting his shenanigans while he makes himself forever-godking.

      He won’t actually fight China, or if he does he won’t do it seriously. Trump constantly swoons over Xi Jinping and works closely with Vladimir Putin which China has close ties with like threads in a tapestry. I simply do not believe Trump’s words.

        I know it’s just awful. If it was a tv show it would be seen as unrealistic but its actually happening.

      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.
