Elon Musk to Receive Pentagon Briefing on U.S.-China Military Plans

The billionaire's access to top-secret war strategies raises concerns about conflicts of interest and national security risks.

Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency and a close adviser to President Trump, is scheduled to attend a top-secret Pentagon briefing on March 21, 2025.
The briefing will include 20 to 30 slides outlining U.S. military strategies for a potential conflict with China, covering key operational plans.
Musk's dual roles as a government adviser and CEO of companies with extensive business interests in both China and the Pentagon have sparked concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
Pentagon operational plans, known as O-plans, are among the military's most sensitive and closely guarded secrets, with leaks posing significant strategic risks.
Experts have questioned the appropriateness of granting Musk access to such classified information, citing ethical and security implications.
