The billionaire was furious when someone from the Pentagon complained about him to reporters.

Scandalous billionaire Elon Musk has begun openly threatening Pentagon employees who allegedly leaked information to journalists about his involvement in secret White House briefings. 

The other day, The New York Times published an article in which, citing its own sources in the Pentagon, it reported that Elon Musk was to participate in a closed briefing at which the US leadership would be informed about America’s possible strategy in a potential war with China. 

Since Elon Musk is not a full-fledged civil servant and his formal and legal status roughly corresponds to that of an advisor, the billionaire’s admission to such a briefing is of great concern, the newspaper wrote. Especially considering that Musk runs a large business that has its own commercial interests in both the United States and China.

“The Pentagon’s war plans … are among the most closely guarded military secrets. If another country learned how the United States planned to wage war against them, it could strengthen its defenses and address its weaknesses, making those plans less likely to succeed,” the NYT wrote.

After the publication of the material, US President Donald Trump denied that the briefing was dedicated to the topic of China.

“China will not even be mentioned or discussed. How shameful that the discredited media can fabricate such lies. In any case, the story is completely untrue,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform . 

Musk himself then reposted Trump’s comment on his X platform , adding that he “looks forward to prosecuting those in the Pentagon who are leaking maliciously false information to the NYT.”

“They will be found,” the tech billionaire warned.
