Tim Walz on Reports of Pentagon Briefing Elon Musk on Potential War with China: ‘Speechless’
EXCERPT:
WALZ: "Well, speechless would be the word. I don’t know how to convey — I don’t possess the language ability to convey how far out of the norm this is.

These are closely guarded secrets because our national and our global defense depends upon them. And once again, we have this — I don’t know, the character, the world’s richest man with the world’s most fragile ego. And I don’t understand where the Republicans, where are Lindsey Grahams, where are these people who know how this works, to not be terrified of where this is at?”
