Letting a citizen of South Africa with huge business connections in China into the Pentagon to view U.S. top secrets is like letting a fox into the henhouse.

Big, big mistake.

Well, I guess the President gets the intelligence briefings.

The US continues to demonstrate its fear of China's unstoppable global development.

They're so desperate that they're putting their trust in Trump's favorite buffoon mascot.

Even Musk has already defeated the electric car trade war and BYD has already defeated Tesla's crappy selfburning cars..

LOOOOOOL

Potential war with China? Do Americans really think the empire will survive? Think of how America won against Japan in WW2 with sheer productive capability against the experienced IJA. That's what will happen in reverse to America if they persist on fight a war against China.

Musk is a ripe target for recruitment by Chinese intelligence agencies due to the problems with Tesla.

Don't show him anything important, they'll find a way to comromise him just like the Soviets did with Krasnov.

Total and utter lunacy from the Trump misadministration. Sharing top-secret military plans for a war with China to someone who is in bed with the Chinese Communist Party, and who desperately wants his businesses to succeed in China.

It doesn't take a genius to see the conflict of interest here.

We should never forget that Musk supports the CCP's annexation of Taiwan, and parrots CCP propaganda. He should be absolutely nowhere near the US government.

How'd this Musk guy weasel his way into such prominence within tRump's organization?

It would be comical if it weren't a disgrace.

that can’t be serious.

Most likely he is going to that five-sided-fistagon to make preliminaries for the upcoming investigation into waste, fraud and abuse. This will require a juiced-up chainsaw running on rocket fuel.

LOL!

Trump and intelligence briefings is the biggest oxymoron I've ever seen

Pentagon to brief Musk on top-secret plan for potential war with China,

What a profoundly stupid idea.

The White House has previously said Musk will recuse himself if any conflicts of interest arise between his business dealings and his role in cutting federal government spending.

What a profoundly obvious lie.

So Elon DOES own a suit

Pentagon to brief Musk on top-secret plan for potential war with China, LOL

Which the USA will definitely loss. The odds of the USA winning any war be would be in Tripple figures.

Todays winner.

They're so desperate that they're putting their trust in Trump's favorite buffoon mascot.

Funny where are the usual advocates for Trump and Musk when you need them??

Trump has already given the KGB an open channel to US classified intelligence, so what does it matter at this point. Trump’s goal is to burn America to the ground, and America voted for it. So, let’s watch America go down in flames.

Funny where are the usual advocates for Trump and Musk when you need them??

They're waiting for their talking points from right-wing pundits and podcasters, so they can come back and post them here like they have any sort of validity or relevancy.

What is Musk's government job title? When was his appointment confirmed by the Senate?

LOL

Bunched up britches. This is evidence that war with China is unlikely. If it were imminent , it wouldn’t be shared.

Purely an attempt for justification of the current budget which Musk and Trump will cut.

No US carrier will approach the coast of China and be target practice for hypersonic missiles as sitting ducks.

National Security needs to be on a need-to-know basis. Musk does not need to know.

This is evidence that war with China is unlikely. If it were imminent , it wouldn’t be shared.

How exactly is this "evidence?" Your logic makes no sense to me, and not for the first time.

Whether war is imminent, unlikely, or otherwise, it stands to reason that the US government should never share these plans with someone that actively supports what the plans are there to prevent: China annexing Taiwan.

Always twisting words and using hyperbole. That's why I (and many others I suspect) do not bother to read your wordy responses with links to the BBC and Voice of America. Musk like many leaders around the world understand that Taiwan is a a part of China. Peacefully creating a federation type relationship is a heap of a lot better than the USA pulling a Gulf of Tonkin in the Taiwan Strait.

The US will not fight a military war with China.

No way.

Always twisting words and using hyperbole.

Musk literally advocates -- on the record -- for the annexation of Taiwan by China.

His words are very clear, and require no twisting or hyperbole.

That's why I (and many others I suspect) do not bother to read your wordy responses with links to the BBC and Voice of America.

Aww, I'm all sad now.

I'll link some Xinhua and People's Daily for you next time. Or perhaps some Xi Jinping Thought.

How about that?

Musk like many leaders around the world understand that Taiwan is a a part of China.

Only in CCP fantasy land.
