Hegseth chimed in that Musk wasn’t given any top-secret briefing.

“We welcomed him to the Pentagon to talk about efficiency, to talk about innovation,” Hegseth stated. “There was no China war plan. There were no secret plans.”

Lawyer Normal Pam Bondi decried the assaults as “domestic terrorism” and introduced three arrests of alleged attackers on Teslas.
