A scandal broke out in the White House over Elon Musk, and two senior officials were fired.

Axar.az reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has removed two senior Pentagon officials, Dan Caldwell and Darin Selnik, who informed Elon Musk about a planned top-secret briefing on China.

Trump, in turn, ordered the briefing canceled.

“What is Elon doing there? Make sure he doesn’t go to the event,” Trump said.

It is noted that Musk has irritated several administration officials with his constant presence at the White House, erratic social media posts, and tough policies at the Department of Government Efficiency.
