Tech billionaire and Trump adviser Elon Musk is scheduled to visit the Pentagon on Friday for a briefing that will include a discussion on China, according to two defense officials.
The briefing will be unclassified, the officials said.
The New York Times reported Thursday night that Musk would be briefed on the U.S. military’s plans for any potential war with China, citing two U.S. officials. One official also confirmed that the briefing would be focused on China, and another only confirmed that Musk would be at the Pentagon on Friday, according to the Times' report.
The defense officials whom NBC News contacted could not confirm the Times' reporting on Musk being briefed on plans for any potential war with China, known as the operational plan or O plan.
The decision to brief Musk on military plans for China would mark a notable evolution of his involvement in the Trump administration and, potentially, his access to U.S. secrets. Musk, whom the president has charged with overseeing a government cost-cutting initiative known as the Department of Government Efficiency, could also have conflicts of interest, as Musk’s own products and businesses are used by the federal government, including Starlink and SpaceX, which contracts with the Defense Department.
