Summary

Donald Trump was reportedly “unhappy” and “frustrated” after learning Elon Musk would be briefed at the Pentagon in March on secret U.S. war plans involving China.

The meeting, initially planned to include classified content, was scaled back after public backlash over Musk’s business ties to China.

Though Trump dismissed the reports as “fake news,” insiders say he was upset about being blindsided.

Musk, who requested the briefing, called the coverage “propaganda” and threatened prosecution over leaks.

    That’s income, though, not net worth. Imagine you’ve got $250k in your 401k and you spent $250.

      I get there is a difference, but the 401k thing is not exactly correct either. He can borrow money against his net worth. Yes, while it’s not 100% accurate, it’s still pennies to him.
