Trump acknowledges concerns over Musk’s business interests, says he shouldn’t get war plans

LA Times  

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, shown last week, met with Elon Musk on Friday at the Pentagon. President Trump said Friday that war plans should not be shared with his advisor Elon Musk because of his business interests, a rare suggestion that the billionaire entrepreneur’s expansive role in the administration will face limits. Trump made the comments during an Oval Office meeting on developing a new fighter jet, and he rejected reports that Musk would be briefed on how the United States would fight a hypothetical war with China. The president said that Musk visited the Pentagon on Friday morning to discuss reducing costs, which he’s been working on through his White House advisory team, which he calls the Department of Government Efficiency. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Musk was there “to talk about efficiencies, to talk about innovations.” Musk said while leaving the Pentagon that he was ready to do “anything that could be helpful,” according to a CNN video.
