DoD is the institution that basically bankrolls most of what musk ever did, to me this just feels like a modern howard hughes, a flashy rich public person that does “crazy” things, very usefull thing to have to hide big military projects in plain sight…
I dont even know what the implications are when the guy that was supposed to be the diversion ends up that close to the power that funds him.
So far Musk’s relationship with DoD is mostly just hucking their satellites into orbit. He’s not really doing the crazy military stuff.
DoD is way more interested in the big primes - Lockheed, Northrop, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Boeing, etc. Satellites are just a piece of the bigger package. They still need missiles, tanks, and aircraft to act on what the satellites teach them.
Not very. The DoD is aggressively apolitical with regards to domestic politics.
For now.

Satellites are the high ground
I think you’re making the take even less credible
thats how it works isnt it
That said I am very concerned with the influence he undoubtedly will have with our space asset acquisition policies.
Oh is that why it’s always left-leaning governments that get targeted?
Jesus fucking Christ.
You seem to be lacking in information, here is a non-comprehensive place for you to start learning about our government’s history:

Strange that there are right-wing governments that were hostile to US interests targeted in that list, then. Fuck, did you even read your own source?
The DoD doesn’t choose its targets, Einstein.
Huh
Ok, perhaps I shouldn’t have used the word “always” because it have you a red herring to latch onto while missing the point.
The point being that you don’t even understand that the DoD doesn’t pick its own targets? Fuck’s sake.
