The access would be a major expansion of Elon Musk’s government role and highlight his conflicts of interest.

The Pentagon is scheduled on Friday to brief Elon Musk on the U.S. military’s plan for any war that might break out with China, two U.S. officials said on Thursday.

Another official said the briefing will be China focused, without providing additional details. A fourth official confirmed Mr. Musk was to be at the Pentagon on Friday, but offered no details.

      Well attempting to annex Canada or Greenland automatically enacts Article 5 of NATO so 31 countries should in theory fight back. 29 of them would likely assist in their defense, and by defense I mean attacking the U.S. in ways that will economically starve the country until 10-15% of the voters realize this has all been idiocy and drag those responsible out of office and ban all responsible ever holding a public office again. Then we would have lost all trade allies and spend 100 years building back respect. Media will slowly start bringing their heinousness to light and slowly the vast majority will deny they were ever a part of it out of shame

        attacking the U.S. in ways that will economically starve the country until 10-15% of the voters realize this has all been idiocy and drag those responsible out of office and ban all responsible ever holding a public office again.

        Wishful thinking.

        These bastards are spin masters that have conditioned their fandom to automatically assume all bad things are the fault of DeMoCraTeS, Woke-isms and foreigners. The mere thought that “their guy” could harm them is nearly impossible to comprehend. The people most responsible for such a disaster will thrive in the chaos they cause.

        This timeline fuck’n sucks.

          Maybe, but not many people in the U.S. think attacking Canada or the U.K. something they wanted to do pre-trump. So hopefully they’ll be some sense. Every non-white person in the U.S. still hasn’t absorbed the information that Trump removed the restrictions on segregation for bathrooms/resteraunts/water fountains for all U.S. contractors. The amount of interracial families that should start picking up that the racism is real should hopefully start accelerating at some point. The question is if it will be to far gone at that point.

            I agree with you.

            The question is if it will be to far gone at that point.

            I do think that the rest of the US is not that far gone. Even if the Trump fandom is a lost cause.
