Is Elon Getting Top Secret China War Briefing Today, Or Is That ILLEGAL LEAK OF LIES?
(www.wonkette.com)
The Times lays out, in as gentlemanly terms as possible, how fucked up this would be:
It would \[…] bring into sharp relief the questions about Mr. Musk’s conflicts of interest as he ranges widely across the federal bureaucracy while continuing to run businesses that are major government contractors. In this case, Mr. Musk, the billionaire chief executive of both SpaceX and Tesla, is a leading supplier to the Pentagon and has extensive financial interests in China. > >So our educated hypothesis on this remains “got caught, deny, deny, deny.” (Adding support to that hypothesis is that Elon is now [whining and promising](https://www.politico.eu/article/elon-musk-threatens-pentagon-leakers-new-york-times-briefing-china-war/) that “those at the Pentagon who are leaking maliciously false information” will be prosecuted. How does one “leak” maliciously *false* information, praytell, Mr. South African nepo dipfuck?)
. . . The *Times* notes that the *Wall Street Journal* also [independently confirmed](https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/musk-to-receive-top-secret-briefing-on-u-s-war-plans-for-china-922eafdf?mod=hp_lead_pos1) that Elon was invited for the China Secrets briefing, and adds in the very next paragraph “Whatever the meeting will now be about …” as a transition phrase. So that’s funny. Also funny? Josh Marshall [notes](https://bsky.app/profile/joshtpm.bsky.social/post/3lkuavzmbss2i) that the *Wall Street Journal* confirmed the story *after* Trump denied it.
