The Pentagon taps Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey to help decide what the military should do next

TechCrunch//100-word brief
The short version

The Pentagon taps Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey to help decide what the military should do next. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just launched a 120-day study on the future of warfare, led by Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich, and while it makes sense given their ties to the administration, critics could point out that Musk's and Luckey's companies already sell the kinds of technology the study is likely to recommend.
