It's not real news. Musk, Gingrich and some other person are being asked to participate in a 120 day study about what warfare is going to look like in the future. They aren't going to be in charge of shit in the military.

The new republic is trash, just like most of the articles posted on this sub.

Article title is misleading, but the truth may be worse than the lie?

He isn't leading the military, just contracted by the government to make AI Robot War Machines ala Terminators.

The headine is not real news. It's just straight up misinformation, the content of the article itself says something entirely different. Doesn't really matter though because nobody here clicks the articles.
