Summary

Donald Trump was reportedly “unhappy” and “frustrated” after learning Elon Musk would be briefed at the Pentagon in March on secret U.S. war plans involving China.

The meeting, initially planned to include classified content, was scaled back after public backlash over Musk’s business ties to China.

Though Trump dismissed the reports as “fake news,” insiders say he was upset about being blindsided.

Musk, who requested the briefing, called the coverage “propaganda” and threatened prosecution over leaks.

      Because he said that he wouldn’t be in order to establish that he was in control, so when it comes out that he’s not (which we all knew anyway) he looks weak and stupid. So he’s issuing excuses, only he’s a moron so the excuses make him look even less in control. But it’s okay, he’ll have nappy time in 5 minutes and forget about this and the American media will conveniently forget along with him.
