Hegseth Taps Musk and Gingrich for Pentagon Advisory Roles
Original: Hegseth Announces Elon Musk and Newt Gingrich Will Help Lead Military
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that Elon Musk and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich will take on roles helping to lead the American military. The news was reported by The New Republic and is drawing attention because of both men's lack of traditional defense backgrounds and Musk's business ties to the Pentagon as a major contractor.
Why now: The announcement pairs a billionaire contractor and a political veteran with military leadership, raising questions about defence governance.
