South African centibillionaire Elon Musk — one of President Donald Trump's closest advisors — is now reportedly scheduled to receive a top-secret briefing involving the United States' top-secret plans in the event the nation goes to war with China.

The article discusses concerns raised by experts regarding Elon Musk's access to sensitive U.S. military information due to his companies' involvement with government contracts. Musk's SpaceX has contracts with the Department of Defense, and there are worries about the implications of him potentially accessing classified war plans or other sensitive data. This concern stems from Musk's unpredictable behavior, his significant influence over public discourse through platforms like X (formerly Twitter), and his past actions that have sometimes conflicted with U.S. government interests, such as his comments on Ukraine and his interactions with foreign leaders. Experts like former CIA officer John Sipher and others have voiced alarm over the "insanity" of allowing someone with Musk's profile such deep access to national security secrets, highlighting the risks of information leaks or misuse of power. The discussion also touches on broader issues of private sector involvement in national defense and the potential conflicts of interest when private entities control critical infrastructure and technology.
