The AI didn't leak anything, it's hallucinating and connecting dots that don't exist, like the the US exit of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. It's putting it up there right next to the founding of SpaceX and writing as they were connected, but that's just completely ridiculous. And the suggestion that "his Mars colony will have it"(nuclear missile defense) is not supported by the article referenced at all. The only thing it's saying is that if there were a nuclear war, Mars would be safer than the moon as the flight time makes it much easier to react to.

You're deliberately misconstruing the story. Elon was shopping for rocket boosters, and the R7 hadn't been an ICBM for decades. They were retrofitted as single-use booster rockets, and were more commonly known for taking Yuri Gagarin to space.
