"The New York Times is pure propaganda," Musk posted on his X platform in the early hours of Friday morning. "Also, I look forward to the prosecutions of those at the Pentagon who are leaking maliciously false information to NYT. They will be found."

Exactly, a side effect of constant ketamine abuse must be telling on yourself all the time.

I'm worried for the day when they say "yes, so what?"

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

More likely true information that they will maintain is false.

Wait, so we’re supposed to leak accurate information…?

If you say so, bud.

I first thought the same, but it actually makes sense... If you are the pentagon and you leak false info, it's propaganda.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

That’s not what leaked means tho

[–] deadkennedy@lemm.ee 31 points 2 days ago

WSJ has confirmed the story

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 2 days ago

Don't want bad press? Don't do fucked up shit.

It's not rocket science.

The Wall Street Journal also later reported that Musk would receive a "top secret" briefing on American tactics and planning for war with China, among other issues to be discussed. The Journal, like the NYT, cited anonymous U.S. officials.

If you wouldn't get the briefing, you'd just laugh at this and say "no I'm not getting a briefing, that's ridiculous". But Elon's hella mad, which tells me he's going to get the briefing (or the info somehow).

Musk would know about proganda wouldnt he... He is owning one of the largest propaganda platforms.
