Behind closed doors, the president was “frustrated” that the DOGE chief was included despite his conflicts of interest in the region.

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.
