'They Will Be Found': Elon Musk Threatens Prosecutions of Trump Pentagon Officials After Bombshell New York Times Report [View all]

Source: Mediaite.com

Elon Musk has broken his silence on a New York Times report alleging he was to be briefed on a potential war with China, blasting the paper as “pure propaganda” while threatening prosecutions of the Times’ anonymous sources.

Musk was set to be briefed Friday on plans for any war the U.S. might have with China, two anonymous U.S. officials told the paper. A third said the briefing would focus on China, but did not offer details.

Replying to President Donald Trump’s Truth Social post attacking the Times story, Musk issued his own rebuke on his X platform, saying “The New York Times is pure propaganda.”

He added: “Also, I look forward to the prosecutions of those at the Pentagon who are leaking maliciously false information to NYT. They will be found.”
