President Trump and Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell unloaded on a New York Times report this week that claimed Elon Musk was receiving special briefings about war plans with China.
Trump his TRUTH Social Thursday night to unload on the failing newspaper, calling the report “disgraceful” and “completely untrue.”
Trump first blasted the report in a TRUTH Social post:
The Fake News is at it again, this time the Failing New York Times. They said, incorrectly, that Elon Musk is going to the Pentagon tomorrow to be briefed on any potential “war with China.” How ridiculous?” China will not even be mentioned or discussed. How disgraceful it is that the discredited media can make up such lies. Anyway, the story is completely untrue!!!
Trump continued to rail against NYT in a follow-up TRUTH Social post:
“Elon Musk will be briefed by the Pentagon about the USA’s top secret plans against China should there be a War,”according to the Failing New York Times, one of the worst and most purposely inaccurate newspapers anywhere in the World. Their FAKE concept for this story is that because Elon does some business in China, that he is very conflicted and would immediately go to top Chinese officials and “spill the beans.” RATINGS CHALLENGED FAKE NEWS CNN immediately picked up on this absolutely ridiculous and false story, which is probably libelous, and went heavy with it. Fortunately, nobody was watching! Maggot Hagerman, the really dumb “scammer” who constantly writes about me for the Times, using anonymous, made up (nonexistent!) sources, and who I haven’t spoken to in ages, is a big part of the Scam. She lead the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, only to realize that she was duped and got it wrong. She owes me a totally discredited Pulitzer Prize for her bad reporting. The Fake News is the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE…And Elon is NOT BEING BRIEFED ON ANYTHING CHINA BY THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR!!!
Parnell dropped by Fox & Friends Friday morning to dispute the bogus reporting, calling the paper “garbage.”
“That is completely fake,” Parnell said. “This is egregious. This is fake. The New York Times should retract this story,” he continued. “This type of garbage from the New York Times … undermines our mission,” he said, adding that Musk is “just coming over here for a visit again.”
