They’re briefing Elon Musk on China war plans, I don’t think the current leadership will care much where they source weather data as long as it aligns with the current ideological purity purge.

There's no proof he was part of any briefing, and pretty much everyone has denied this has happened. You need to diversify your news sources beyond the ones that confirm your beliefs, truthful or not.

If you genuinely believe the real problem here is reporting, not that it's unclear (and had to be denied by the President himself) whether a private citizen with massive and well documented conflicts of interest and who doesn't hold a TS clearance was briefed on some of the nations most sensitive military planning I'd suggest I'm not the one with an information consumption and evaluation issue.

I guess you missed the video of him going into the Pentagon, and then coming out saying he had a great meeting.

It was all over the "legacy" media that the current legacy president doesn't watch or obsess over.

Right, there's only one meeting room at the Pentagon.

Should he be in _any_ pentagon meetings? I mean, the admin is trying to deny he has any official role beyond advisor, and he’s not US born.

So someone that was, say, hired to make a website for the Pentagon can’t go and have a meeting there? Especially if they’re foreign born?

Given how game changing Starlink has proven to be for military operations, he probably should.
