Elon Musk issued a stark warning to Pentagon employees after a report leaked details of a planned military briefing, vowing that those responsible "will be found" and prosecuted.

On Thursday, the New York Times published a report stating that Musk was scheduled to receive a Pentagon briefing on potential U.S. war plans against China.

The report, citing anonymous officials, raised concerns about Musk's growing influence over U.S. defense policy, given his business ties to both the U.S. government and China, Politico reported.

Following the leak, both the Pentagon and President Donald Trump denied that the meeting involved China at all, with Trump calling the report "completely untrue."

After the article was published, Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to denounce the New York Times, calling the publication's report "pure propaganda" and warning that those responsible for the leak "will be found."

The New York Times is pure propaganda.

Also, I look forward to the prosecutions of those at the Pentagon who are leaking maliciously false information to NYT.

The leaked briefing was expected to underscore Musk's expanding influence, particularly through SpaceX's government contracts and his connections in Washington.

So what are you doing that you're so afraid of its being known to the public? Seems like if you had a reason to be there, it wouldn't be a problem?

Oh, wait, you're sneaking around leaking information yourself again. Got it.

Er, didn't you just put a leaky wifi system in place at the White House?

He calls it "false information", so why look to the Pentagon specifically? Couldn't fake info be made up by anyone, Elon?
