The newspaper, citing US officials, said Musk would visit the Pentagon on March 21 and attend a US military meeting focused on China. The meeting is expected to include highly classified information about US war plans in the event of a conflict with China.

If confirmed, the above information will be evidence of the great influence of Mr. Elon Musk in his role as advisor to US President Donald Trump.
The White House has not commented on this information. Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell affirmed that Mr. Musk's access to top secret US plans is fake news.
“This is 100% fake news, blatantly false and malicious. Elon Musk is a patriot and we are proud to have him at the Pentagon,” Parnell wrote on social media X.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed that Mr. Musk would be visiting the Pentagon, while also denying the New York Times report. “This is not a meeting about war plans with China. This is an informal meeting about innovation, manufacturing more efficiently and smarter,” Mr. Hegseth wrote on X.
CNN reported on March 20 that Mr. Musk has a security clearance to access top secret documents. However, the process of providing information and what content is shared will depend on the competent authority.
