A former campaign adviser for Donald Trump melted down on CNN over an explosive report from The New York Times that tech billionaire Elon Musk was to get briefed on possible military plans in the event of a war with China. The Times lit up social media when it reported Thursday night that Musk, the head of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, was scheduled to receive the classified briefing on Friday. However, Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Pentagon officials strongly refuted the claims. Musk confirms the story was fact.
