The denial comes after ABC News reported that a U.S. official stated Musk was expected to attend a meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff. According to the ABC News report, the meeting's agenda included discussions related to China.
"That's totally false," Trump stated in response to the report. He did not elaborate further on the reasons for his denial or offer alternative details regarding any potential meetings involving Musk and military officials.

The conflicting accounts leave the public with uncertainty regarding the validity of the initial report and the extent of any potential involvement of Elon Musk in discussions related to U.S. military strategy concerning China.
