Oh gee, what could go wrong putting a foreign born white supremacist technocrat in a lead position of our military with full access to its systems so he can integrate an AI system no one understands or knows how to defend against or extract should we want to do so at some point.

Newt Gingrich is still alive???

onetime trillionaire Elon Musk

Look I know there are bigger problems we need to work on, but I still have to appreciate the little things

WTF.....

Hah! You almost got me The Onion!!

Wait...

What the actual fuck even is this fever dream, honestly

They're going to re-segregate the army probably.

But he just said no fatties, weirdos, or wimps.

And the clown show downfall of America continues unabated.

I'd try to shame conservatives for what they've done, but those cucks probably think a, checks notes, Nazi and, checks notes, 83 year old retired piece of shit are good choices to help run, checks notes, the most powerful (and dangerous) military on the face of the planet.

Putting AMERICA First means having an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT run Our Military!

-LITERALLY Republicans!

We live in a fucking cartoon.

And the tankies on here will tell you without any sort of fucking irony that Kamala would be just as bad as this fucking bullshit.

The single most terrifying thing about this, to me, is how few people seem to know what Palmer Luckey’s company Anduril does. They are building autonomous kill bots.

The fucking “let’s build skynet” guy is being invited to US military leadership and his name is dropped from the headline and mentioned in barely 2% of replies.

Great move including the guy who disabled Ukrainian drones at the request of Putin. Totally trustworthy and won't backfire in any way.

Best Forecasters of Future Conflict.

They know future conflict isn't the war that a foreign nation will come at the military with. The future of warfare is how they will fight the revolutionaries that will inevitably rise against tyranny.

Musk has the ability to deploy surveillance technology anywhere. The "study" is "how do they continue to keep squeezing the iron fist?"

Edit: and by anywhere, I mean ANYWHERE. Motherfucker owns a space agency. Tesla cars rely on video processing of always network connected cameras for their driving assist mechanisms. Starlink puts network connectivity anywhere it currently isn't.

And GUESS who is part of the PayPal mafia? Palantir. But also Yelp and LinkedIn. Those are much less important than Palantir, but Yelp can at least target businesses that don't play along, and LinkedIn can harm people seeking employment.

The dystopia we are in is worse than people can truly grasp.

Two men with no military experience who haven't so much as been in a fistfight. Makes sense.

We’re fucking doomed.

Honestly expect military experiments like neuralink implants guaranteeing ideologically aligned warriors and complete obedience to the state

I hope that lead means infantry vanguard.

Hegseth: "no weirdos"

Not even consistent with his own bullshit.

Just in time for Elon to screw with the machines and for Newt to dribble saliva on everything

Hey, troops, be prepared to die a lot and needlessly! All for the Epstein Class! Be sure to thank your fellows WHO VOTED FOR YOUR DEATH.

Good god I sincerely hope the Dems get a supermajority and grow a spine to clean our fucking house of these Nazis.

Didn't Hegseth just proclaim no weirdos, no beardos & no fatties?

Seriously, we need to end these motherfuckers before it's too late.

We’re never going to be able to fix this, are we?

We already tried Elon in politics... No!

What in the holy fuck? We've got to get these guys out of office.

Elon the immigrant? Strange move.

There's this, and the "Fortress America" thing, where military bases are supposed to be off the national grid.

Which is 100% a way to speed up nuclear SME roll out. The military already gets different policies for nuclear material, and has been piloting containerized SMEs for a while. What they're doing is setting up Elon and friends to be the deciding factor and/or the companies selling this to themselves. Bill Gates has a company working on SMEs as well, and it seems like they either want him to do the work and then Elon and Gingrich, who I wasn't aware could still string 2 sentences together coherently. are in the middle.

This is seriously African Dictator playbook, Chapter 1. Trevor Noah called this back in 2016.
