Pentagon Briefing Controversy

President Donald Trump blocked Elon Musk from a classified briefing on China at the Pentagon. Musk and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth were set to discuss potential military actions against China.

Trump dismissed reports as 'fake news' but privately intervened to stop Musk's attendance, questioning Musk's involvement. Musk eventually met Hegseth without discussing China, emphasizing the importance of boundaries.

Defense Minister Hegseth suspended two Pentagon officials, Dan Caldwell and Darin Selnick, to investigate the leak of the briefing information.
