@vadogwoodnews: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is putting Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey and Newt Gingrich at the center of a new Pentagon effort to determine what weapons and technologies the U.S. military will need for future wars. But two of the people helping shape those recommendations already have major business ties to the Pentagon. Musk’s SpaceX and Luckey’s Anduril both hold multibillion-dollar U.S. defense contracts — raising questions about potential conflicts as they help identify the capabilities the military should prioritize next. The group has 120 days to deliver its recommendations to Hegseth as part of the newly announced Project Meridian.
