Outrageous.

The U.S. Government Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in Wars

The billionaire’s interference in Ukrainian military operations shows he’s a national security risk. No private citizen should have that much power.

This sounds about right:

“Top Navy leaders repeatedly dismissed or ignored warnings about the ships’ flaws. One Navy secretary and his allies in Congress fought to build more of the ships even as they broke down at sea and their weapons systems failed. Staunch advocates in the Navy circumvented checks meant to ensure that ships that cost billions can do what they are supposed to do”

"As the civilian leaders of the , , , & , we are proud to work alongside exceptional military leaders...

These officers... are the foundation of America’s enduring advantage.
