The Pentagon is scheduled on Friday to brief Elon Musk on the U.S. military’s plan for any war that might break out with China, two U.S. officials said on Thursday.
Another official said the briefing will be China focused, without providing additional details. A fourth official confirmed Mr. Musk was to be at the Pentagon on Friday, but offered no details.

Why
I feel like i repeat this to myself 20 times a day. I can’t stand this administration.
Trump was trying to get China to attack to initiate martial law in 2021. He’s probably trying to start a war to initiate martial law now.
Well clearly we haven’t been efficient enough in starting conflicts with China. We need to find ways to hurt our trade with them even further
Because no one’s stopped him.
My guess is to rile up his base into supporting his shenanigans while he makes himself forever-godking.
He won’t actually fight China, or if he does he won’t do it seriously. Trump constantly swoons over Xi Jinping and works closely with Vladimir Putin which China has close ties with like threads in a tapestry. I simply do not believe Trump’s words.
Holy fuck he is really going to start WW3
Maybe not WW3, but more like American War* 2. China will finally get an opportunity to update it’s Museum of American Aggression** displays.
*American War is how many Asian nations refer to the Korean War/Vietnam War ** https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_of_the_War_to_Resist_US_Aggression_and_Aid_Korea; when I visited it in 2014 it was the name I previously mentioned - it was interesting to say the least. Mostly some weird propaganda and left behind military equipment.
only if its profitable
War is always profitable. Especially if you don’t plan to ever fix damage to your country.
Luckily I don’t think Tesla-made tanks, jets and rifles will put up much of a fight on the battlefield.
The profit comes from SpaceX and Starlink.
Starlink is gonna get phased out, guaranteed in Europe at least, as people learn they can’t trust it. And I do believe SpaceX stuff keeps blowing up.
Kamikaze
Yeah, ever see that picture of the outline of a kamikaze plane burnt onto the side of an otherwise intact destroyer?
Well if course, he is the president
Musk is the CEO of the United Corporations of America and Trump is the Chairman of the board.
What’s the plan? Sell them Teslers?
Remote trigger the self destruct for all the Tesla’s in China
We have deranged psychopaths in charge of the US. We really are going to have WW3 soon aren’t we
Well attempting to annex Canada or Greenland automatically enacts Article 5 of NATO so 31 countries should in theory fight back. 29 of them would likely assist in their defense, and by defense I mean attacking the U.S. in ways that will economically starve the country until 10-15% of the voters realize this has all been idiocy and drag those responsible out of office and ban all responsible ever holding a public office again. Then we would have lost all trade allies and spend 100 years building back respect. Media will slowly start bringing their heinousness to light and slowly the vast majority will deny they were ever a part of it out of shame
attacking the U.S. in ways that will economically starve the country until 10-15% of the voters realize this has all been idiocy and drag those responsible out of office and ban all responsible ever holding a public office again.
Wishful thinking.
These bastards are spin masters that have conditioned their fandom to automatically assume all bad things are the fault of DeMoCraTeS, Woke-isms and foreigners. The mere thought that “their guy” could harm them is nearly impossible to comprehend. The people most responsible for such a disaster will thrive in the chaos they cause.
This timeline fuck’n sucks.
Maybe, but not many people in the U.S. think attacking Canada or the U.K. something they wanted to do pre-trump. So hopefully they’ll be some sense. Every non-white person in the U.S. still hasn’t absorbed the information that Trump removed the restrictions on segregation for bathrooms/resteraunts/water fountains for all U.S. contractors. The amount of interracial families that should start picking up that the racism is real should hopefully start accelerating at some point. The question is if it will be to far gone at that point.
I agree with you.
The question is if it will be to far gone at that point.
I do think that the rest of the US is not that far gone. Even if the Trump fandom is a lost cause.
Does this unelected twat even have security clearance?
Of course he does! Remember when Jared was denied clearance and trump overrode it?
Are you assuming laws, security, and allegiance to the USA exists right now?
“You’re gambling with World War Three!” yelled Trump to his guest, the president of Ukraine, without any sign of irony.
He’s not holding any cards right now. Trump made him a tough guy. He’s gambling with World War 3.
Wait, sounds… Nah forget it.
We the people need to put an end to this madness now! South Korea did it!
What’s the plan? To bomb china with Teslas?
While they do explode, getting them to do so on the target would be the challenge. I suppose just dropping the vehicles as is would do some damage too.
To share top secret intelligence with China.
Funniest comment of the day right here!
Complete Bluff.
Unless the plan is to literally give away US Territory to China this will never happen.
Xi Jinping, Putin, and Trump are all on the same wavelength, cut from the same cloth, birds of a feather.
i have multiple layers of questions about why i am seeing a headline like this
If war with China happens I am 100% defecting to China lol. I have absolutely zero love or respect for my shithole country.
Please stop referring it by it’s old name.
It’s now United States of Dictatorship.
Thanks.
