The Spin
Democratic narrative
Although the vigorous denials lead one to believe the Times story contains much truth, it's more concerning that Musk — who has business ties to China — would receive any type of Pentagon briefing. He's a national security risk beyond his conflicts of interest.
Republican narrative
Elon Musk is a patriot who's doing great work with DOGE, which will help the Pentagon become more efficient and an even smarter warfighting machine. The Times report was based on innuendo and very little reporting and did nothing but expose the Times' malicious bias toward Musk.
