Hegseth taps Musk, Luckey, Gingrich to lead warfare review
Original: Hegseth puts Musk, Luckey, Gingrich in charge of military future warfare review
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has appointed Elon Musk, defence entrepreneur Palmer Luckey, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to lead a review of the military's future warfare capabilities. The move ties the Pentagon's long-term planning to prominent technology figures and a veteran political strategist, drawing attention over the unprecedented mix of Silicon Valley and political voices shaping defence strategy.
Why now: The unusual appointment of Musk and other outsiders to a Pentagon defence review is a striking and controversial reshaping of military planning.
