[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Elon Musk has been summoned to the Pentagon for a top secret military briefing about potential war plans with China, sparking speculation about the growing power and access of the nation's 'First Buddy'.

Donald Trump disputed claims by the 'fake news' that Musk was being allowed a glimpse at plans for a hypothetical war with China, but the exact nature of Musk's visit was unclear.

Both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal cited two U.S. officials who said that Musk was getting a look at 'top secret' war plans if America and China came into conflict.

Musk will allegedly be briefed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and two other key officials on the details, which WSJ said included 'maritime tactics and targeting plans.'

The briefing for the China war plan has about 20 to 30 slides that lay out how the United States would fight such a conflict, the Times reported.

They hypothesized that Musk - who has long had friendly relations with China - could need to know what the Pentagon was budgeting as his Department of Government Efficiency looks to trim government waste.

Trump led a chorus of administration voices in denying the 'Fake News' of 'the failing New York Times' report in a post to Truth Social.

'They said, incorrectly, that Elon Musk is going to the Pentagon tomorrow to be briefed on any potential 'war with China.' How ridiculous?' China will not even be mentioned or discussed. How disgraceful it is that the discredited media can make up such lies. Anyway, the story is completely untrue!!!'

Hegseth also denied it in a post to X, saying: 'We look forward to welcoming @elonmusk to the Pentagon tomorrow. But the fake news delivers again — this is NOT a meeting about 'top secret China war plans.'
