Elon Musk has no business leading a Pentagon study on the future of American warfare, and you need to demand his removal from Project Meridian immediately. He has never served in the military. Neither has Palmer Luckey or Newt Gingrich. Putting three civilians with zero military experience in charge of shaping U.S. weapons strategy for decades to come is not innovation — it's recklessness.
Musk already ran DOGE into the ground, executing the largest peacetime federal workforce reduction on record while government spending kept rising. Now, after a public falling out with the President and a quiet reconciliation, he's back inside the Pentagon's orbit with another unofficial role and zero accountability. This pattern should alarm anyone who cares about national security. Demand that Defense Secretary Hegseth remove Musk from Project Meridian before this 120-day review produces anything that shapes real military policy.
