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.

    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.

    Who the fuck is in charge here? I mean, it’s obvious Trump sold the Presidency to Musk for the $290mil he spent getting Trump elected and as a result - out of prison. But it still needs to be said. There is nothing normal about a President being upset because he “found out” that an unelected neo-Nazi from South Africa is being briefed on war plans. Trump isn’t just the weakest President of all time, he’s a straight-up puppet.

      You know what trips me out the most. As of right now, Elons net worth is $360,000 million dollars. He spent $290 Million dollars. Let’s just drop the million and imagine you made $360,000 last year and it only cost you $290 dollars to become president. The amount of money this person has is just staggering. He should be taxed 100% at this point.

        Imagine life was a game. You lived for 2025 years. You worked 260 days / year. You made the median US salary.

        You would need to relive that process 3,145 times to match an Oligarch.

        That amount of wealth is unethical while humanity suffers. No one can really fathom “1b dollars.”

        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.

      This is the correct answer. Musk bribed the election outcome in an unimaginably vicious attack on democracy. Therefore it should be expected that Felon Drink Bleach be beholden to Sieg Heiling Space Karen.
