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.

I knew he was a Chinese agent. America has already lost. I just wonder what China will do with the keys to the world now that America has literally just gave it to them without a fight.

From human rights to diplomacy to security to economy - America, Americans, are worldwide laughing stocks.

At least maybe less millions will die because you have been scammed into giving it all away. Your leader is a sucker and he exemplifies you.

Sweet dreams of Don and Elon fucking your wives while you watch. Enjoy them before Russia and China shut the power off after Elon transferred the Treasury to Russia and Don died to make you stupids believe in an enemy.

Dumbest people on earth.

Such a charming fellow, I pray fascism isn't on the rise and I hope it doesn't infest your country as well.

But of course that could never happen because you'd stop them, right?
