Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey and Newt Gingrich to help Pentagon with warfare initiative, Hegseth says
Pete Hegseth, in remarks about the state of the military, announced a project led by two GOP-supporting tech executives to examine military capabilities.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on Pete Hegseth’s announcement of a new Pentagon effort tied to the future of warfare and both name Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey and Newt Gingrich. The Hill gives the fullest framing, saying the three will lead “Project Meridian” and adding that it is meant to harness AI, while CNBC is more general, describing the project as being led by two GOP-supporting tech executives to examine military capabilities.
