Pentagon taps Musk, Gingrich for warfare plan
The Pentagon is reportedly drawing on Elon Musk and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for input on a warfare planning initiative. The pairing of a major defense contractor's chief executive, whose companies hold billions in government contracts, with a partisan political figure has prompted questions about conflicts of interest and the blurring of lines between private business, politics and military strategy. Critics are calling for scrutiny of the arrangement.
Why now: The unusual involvement of a billionaire contractor-CEO and a former politician in military planning raises conflict-of-interest concerns.
