Elon Musk Criticizes Costly Pentagon Fighter Jet Program

Elon Musk criticized the F-35 fighter jet program, advocating for drones over manned aircraft, while the Pentagon and Lockheed Martin defended the F-35's capabilities and international partnerships. Despite its high cost and criticism over reliability, the F-35 remains a key component of U.S. and allied military forces. Musk's comments come amid discussions on military efficiency and budget transparency, as the Pentagon faces scrutiny over its spending and audit failures.
