There is a large graveyard filled with my enemies.
I do not wish to add to it, but will if given no choice.
Those who pick fights with me do so at their own peril

Trump’s comments were then reposted on X by Musk, who called the New York Times “pure propaganda” and issued a threat, saying he looks “forward to the prosecution of those at the Pentagon who are leaking maliciously false information to NYT.”

Contradiction in terms.

You can't leak false information.

You can spread false information, but it's only a leak if it's true.

Sometimes spreading false information can also be unlawful, like claiming you found funding to take your company private for 18 times its share price, or calling a stranger a pedophile when they say your cave submarine isn't going to help. But it's still not "leaking".
