President Trump on Friday denied that his administration would show billionaire Elon Musk details of the Pentagon’s planning for a potential war with China, citing Musk’s various business dealings as a reason to be extra cautious with such information.

Axar.az reports according to the Hill, “I don’t want to show it to anybody. You’re talking about a potential war with China,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “I don’t want anybody seeing potential war with China. But I can tell you if we did, we’re very well-equipped to handle it.”

Trump also acknowledged if he were to share plans for a war with China, he would be unlikely to show it to someone with Musk’s background.

“You know, Elon has businesses in China, and he would be susceptible perhaps to that.”

Musk visited the Pentagon on Friday, where he met for more than an hour with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Trump and Hegseth said the meeting was focused on innovation and cutting costs.
