Elon Musk Challenges F-35 Program Amidst Political Tensions

High-profile billionaires and Trump backers, including Elon Musk, are advocating for the military to replace crewed fighter jets and tanks with drones, citing cost-effectiveness and technological advancements. This push could influence Trump's Pentagon policies, potentially leading to cuts in traditional weapons programs. However, military leaders like Adm. Samuel Paparo argue that drones cannot fully replace crewed systems, especially in vast regions like the Pacific. The debate highlights a potential shift in defense policy towards uncrewed technologies, driven by tech investors with vested interests.
