Original: The Pentagon taps Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey to help decide what the military should do next
The Pentagon is bringing in Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey to help determine the future direction of the US military, according to TechCrunch. The move pairs the world's richest man, who leads Tesla and SpaceX, with the founder of defense startup Anduril, signaling a growing role for Silicon Valley figures and private tech firms in shaping American defense priorities.
Why now: The unprecedented involvement of two high-profile tech entrepreneurs in Pentagon decision-making raises questions about the militarization of Silicon Valley and conflicts of interest.
