‘What the f-ck is Elon doing there?’: Trump reportedly bars Musk from assembly

Appears to be like like President Donald Trump may be lastly shedding persistence together with his multibillionaire adviser Elon Musk. In keeping with Axios, the president personally blocked his onetime “first buddy” from attending a top-secret Pentagon briefing concerning the navy’s plans for China.

Musk was slated to hitch the March assembly, however when particulars leaked to the press, Trump reportedly snapped.

“What the fuck is Elon doing there? Make sure he doesn’t go,” Trump stated, in accordance with a high official who recounted the occasion to Axios.

The identical official tried to downplay the snub.

“POTUS still very much loves Elon, but there are some red lines,” they stated. “Elon has a lot of business in China, and he has good relations there, and this briefing just wasn’t the right thing.” 

Certain. 

The leak in query got here from The New York Instances, which precisely reported that Musk was set to obtain a labeled Pentagon briefing on U.S. conflict plans for China—a shocking nationwide safety breach contemplating Musk holds no public workplace and has deep monetary ties to Beijing. 


Folks rally at Well being and Human Companies headquarters to protest the polices of President Donald Trump and Elon Musk on Feb. 19.

Even Trump appeared to understand how dangerous it seemed and publicly claimed Musk’s enterprise pursuits made his presence inappropriate. 

“Elon has businesses in China,” Trump instructed reporters in March. “And he would be susceptible, perhaps, to that.”

So, whereas Musk did meet with Protection Secretary Pete Hegseth that day, Axios studies China conflict plans weren’t mentioned. As a substitute, the main focus was China’s rising navy risk, which continues to be a wild stage of entry for a personal citizen.

“I look forward to the prosecutions of those at the Pentagon who are leaking maliciously false information to NYT,” Musk wrote. “They will be found.”

He may be getting his want. This week, Hegseth suspended not less than three Pentagon officers within the wake of an inner leak probe associated not simply to the Musk briefing, however to delicate operations within the Panama Canal, the Pink Sea, and Ukraine. 

The irony? Hegseth himself reportedly mentioned wartime technique in a Sign group chat whereas unaware {that a} reporter was current, and confronted no punishment.

Hegseth’s crackdown is a part of a broader White Home effort to seek out leakers. Earlier this month, Director of Nationwide Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard shaped a activity power to analyze inner leaks. And again in February, Division of Homeland Safety Secretary Kristi Noem threatened lie detector assessments for her personal workers.

Nonetheless, the Axios story is telling. It suggests Musk’s grip on the White Home won’t be as ironclad because it as soon as appeared—a welcome signal after months of him performing like Trump’s co-president. Since January, the obscenely wealthy Tesla and SpaceX CEO has gutted key federal businesses and helped purge tens of 1000’s of presidency staff below the banner of “efficiency” and rooting out “waste” and “fraud.” He’s additionally clashed with different Cupboard members alongside the best way. 

We will solely hope.
