Elon Musk is set to receive a Pentagon briefing on U.S. military strategies in the event of war with China, raising concerns regarding his access to sensitive military information due to his extensive business ties and influence in government. The briefing, which contains around 20 to 30 slides detailing operational plans, highlights the potential risks of sharing military secrets with a prominent government contractor who also has significant interests in China. This development underscores both Musk's growing role in government matters and the ethics of personal interests intersecting with national security.
If a foreign country was to learn how the United States planned to fight a war against them, it could reinforce its defenses and address its weaknesses, making the plans far less likely to succeed.
Providing Mr. Musk access to some of the nation's most closely guarded military secrets would be a dramatic expansion of his already extensive role as an adviser to President Trump.
