Why Trump didn't want to let Musk into the Pentagon

It turned out that Trump did not like Musk's planned presence at the Pentagon meeting, which was supposed to be dedicated to China. The briefing could have discussed plans for military action in the event of a conflict between the two countries. Trump ordered his subordinates to cancel the meeting.

The scandal quickly spread through the media via sources in the administration. Trump and Musk tried to deny the rumors, and US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth found those responsible for the leaks and fired them.

Despite the fact that the US president maintains a positive attitude toward Elon Musk, there are certain limitations, Axios sources say. A senior Trump administration official said on condition of anonymity that Musk has significant business in China and has close ties with Chinese partners. Therefore, participation in such a briefing would be inappropriate.

It was reported that, Elon Musk, allegedly uses his own social network X to "recruit" women who could become potential mothers of his biological children. 

Previously, On April 16, the US military carried out large-scale strikes on the Houthi-controlled capital of Yemen, Sanaa, as well as several other areas.
