They've leaked this now to the NYT, NBC and the WSJ.
Musk, according to one person familiar with the arrangements, is receiving the briefing because he asked for one. He has a security clearance but isn’t in the military chain of command or known to be a military adviser to Trump.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed that Musk would visit the Pentagon on Friday. In a statement on X, Musk’s social-media site, Hegseth said, “It’s an informal meeting about innovation, efficiencies & smarter production,” denying that the presidential adviser would receive a sensitive China briefing.
In a post on Truth Social on Thursday evening, Trump said that “China will not even be mentioned or discussed” at the Pentagon meeting.

The Trump adviser had been originally set to receive a briefing on top-secret war plan but revelations of the meeting caused a change of course
This is total bullshit. The NYTimes has crap reporting. And, the fact that the WSJ would parrot some of their talking points is very disappointing.
Why should we believe anything Trump says? He who said he had no knowledge of project 2025 during the campaign and now his minions are implementing it. The NY Times had it from four sources that the meeting was to occur. I believe them far more than Trump.

Musk does not have top secret clearance. And it would never be granted to him for multiple reasons - ketamine addict, conflicts of interest etc. Why Republicans are normalizing the immense power that an unelected, unconfirmed, drug-addled South African billionaire has over the US is mystifying. The GOP has become the party of treachery.
I'm totally confused by folks saying whatever is SpaceX clearance is generalizes to everything. There are different types and levels, and being a ketamine user (self admitted) is a disqualifier.
