CNBC and other mainstream networks are screaming about a meeting between Elon Musk and Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations, which happened Monday, but is only now being revealed by the NY Times and others. They are questioning just how involved Musk is in America's national security affairs.
The MSM is deeply concerned about such unofficial diplomacy, given Musk is closely advising President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team. And yet, this is how diplomacy among influential figures often happens:
Elon Musk, a close adviser to President-elect Donald J. Trump, met with Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations on Monday in New York in a session that two Iranian officials described as a discussion of how to defuse tensions between Iran and the United States.
