Musk Calls for Prosecution of Pentagon Staff After Leak
Elon Musk called for the prosecution of Pentagon staff who spoke to The New York Times after it reported he was set to be briefed on U.S. military plans for a potential war with China.
Elon Musk said Pentagon staff who spoke to reporters at the New York Times should be prosecuted, after the newspaper reported the billionaire was due to be briefed about the U.S. military's plan for any war that might break out with China.
"The New York Times is pure propaganda," Musk said in a post on his social media platform X on Friday. "Also, I look forward to the prosecutions of those at the Pentagon who are leaking maliciously false information to NYT. They will be found."
Musk's comments came after President Donald Trump also denied the story about his close ally.
