U.S. Department of Defense Appoints Musk and Palmer Luckey to Lead Future Warfare Research Group

Techub News reports that U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced the initiation of a 120-day research project on the future of warfare. This research group will be co-led by Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The study aims to provide recommendations for the future direction of the U.S. military.

Critics point out that the companies owned by Musk and Luckey already sell technologies that the research might recommend, sparking discussions about potential conflicts of interest. (TechCrunch)
