Pentagon taps Musk and Gingrich for warfare planning role

Original: Pentagon taps Musk, Gingrich for warfare plan

The Pentagon has brought in Elon Musk and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to help shape a warfare plan, according to a new report. The unusual pairing of a tech billionaire with no formal defense post and a veteran Republican politician inside military planning has drawn attention, with observers questioning the lack of precedent and the implications for oversight of US military strategy.

Why now: The extraordinary involvement of two high-profile civilian figures in Pentagon military planning is unprecedented and politically charged.
