Shape the future of warfare?
Our adversaries are going to have a say in that too.

Has Musk ever been subject to the SSBI and other reviews for this level of national security information? How do we know he won’t just push ideas in his own self interest? If he’s going to outrank the Sec. of War, shouldn’t he be confirmed by the Senate?
So many questions each time Elon surfaces.
If you want to get something done, give it to a busy man.
I suspect that their “say” would be “Oh s-—!”
GREAT! HOORAY Elon!
Newt Gingrich contributes from beyond the grave!
These are amazing times!
He has named the organization (Inc.) or Elon Musk himself?
Won’t he have to keep his companies out of procurement afterwards?
Is Dodge Designer that guy that came up with the Hemi?
This is a study. A bunch of people brainstorming and the product is a piece of paper that may or may not get read by anyone important.
No, that is not worth the time or attention span of a Senate confirmation hearing.
“I’ll take “Blowing up shit from space” for $400, Alex.”
Gingrich has a good background for this but he is sure old.
EXCELLENT news!!
So many questions each time Elon surfaces.

Only from the left leaning side of the aisle. The usual naysayers.
Tell me Bob? Were John Birchers ever Republicans, or true Conservatives? Or were they just self-anointed do-gooders?
