Elon Musk visited the National Security Agency on Wednesday, according to an agency spokesperson. The initially undisclosed meeting comes roughly a week after the Trump ally said the U.S. intelligence agency needed to be overhauled. Musk’s visit was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Elon Musk visited the National Security Agency on Wednesday and met with NSA chief Gen. Timothy Haugh, an agency spokesperson confirmed to Axios. Why it matters: This is Musk's first recorded visit to an intelligence agency as a special adviser to the president.

The unannounced visit suggests Musk’s drive to slash the federal workforce now extends to a secretive agency known as the "puzzle palace" for its famed codebreaking abilities.

The Israeli prime minister’s effort to remove the Shin Bet chief is raising concerns about whether he was seeking to undermine the agency’s independence.

The Israeli prime minister says the nation’s security cabinet will vote to dismiss the top spy, after an extraordinary breakdown between the pair.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told the head of the country's Shin Bet domestic security service Ronen Bar that he plans to bring his dismissal before the government this week, a statement from Netanyahu's office said on Sunday.
