Musk, Luckey, Gingrich to lead Pentagon 'Project Meridian' war study

Defense Secretary Hegseth announced a new Pentagon study on future warfare, 'Project Meridian,' to be led by Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich. This marks Musk's first official advisory role in the Trump administration since his public feud and departure from DOGE, signaling a reconciliation and potential influence on defense innovation. The study's scope and deliverables remain unclear, but it underscores the administration's reliance on tech-sector figures for military strategy.
