Elon Musk's recent criticism of the F-35 highlights the growing debate over manned versus unmanned aircraft in military operations, suggesting that crewed jets may soon become obsolete.
Musk called the continued focus on building crewed fighter jets 'inefficient,' advocating instead for a shift towards reusable drones which could transform modern warfare and military expenditure.
As the newly appointed co-lead of the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk's criticisms connect to potential budget cuts, focusing on the costly F-35 program which could face scrutiny.
The stock market immediately reacted to Musk's comments with Lockheed Martin’s shares dropping significantly, reflecting investor concerns about the future viability of traditional manned fighters in warfare.
